Kick-off of "Script Frenzy" Month

One of my personal passions is writing fiction. Last year, I participated in a national writing initiative called Nanowrimo - which stands for National November Writing Month. I completed the initiative - I wrote a whole novel in 30 days! Beginning today, I'm taking part in another writing initiative called Script Frenzy.

Script Frenzy is an international writing event in which participants attempt the creatively daring feat of writing an original, full-length screenplay or stage play in a single month. Spurred by a wild deadline and buoyed by a community of countless other writers, Script Frenzy participants can't be bothered with editing. They're too busy writing by the seat of their pants, typing out beautiful, flawed stories that no one else could have dreamt up.

As part of a donation-funded nonprofit, Script Frenzy charges no fee to participate; there are also no valuable prizes awarded or "best" scripts singled out. Every writer who completes the goal of 20,000 words is victorious and awe-inspiring and will get a Script Frenzy Winner's Certificate and web icon proclaiming this fact. Even those who fall short of the word goal will be applauded for making a heroic attempt. Really, there's nothing to lose!

The 5 Basic Rules of Script Frenzy:

1) To be crowned an official Script Frenzy winner, you must write a script of at least 20,000 words and verify this word count on ScriptFrenzy.org.

2) You may write individually or in teams of two. Writer teams will have a 20,000 total word goal for their single co-written script.

3) Script writing may begin no earlier than 12:00:01 AM on June 1 and must cease no later than 11:59:59 PM on June 30, local time.

4) You may write either a screenplay or a stage play.

5) You must, at some point, have ridiculous amounts of fun.
