So, that published script that I'm trying to flip into a screenplay?...yeah, uh, I've been sidetracked by LIFE! All good stuff though... Anywho...I'm only 4.5 pages into the screenplay (see the little chart above that shows my progress, um, lack of progress?...yeah, it's stuck at a very low number, eh?). *sigh* That's because I've been so busy I haven't taken time for ME! And taking time for me, means Showing Up At The Page (my trusty computer) and writing.
A blogger/playwright pal - Mary Aalgaard at Play Off the Page - recently emailed me that she signed up for Script Frenzy. Script Frenzy is a yearly International event that challenges writers to write 100 pages in 30 days. So, you sign up (it's free!) and for the entire month of April, you write like the dedicated writer you wanna be, hope to be and wish you were....it's pretty cool!
Well, though I did sign up (LATE!) for Script Frenzy with the over ambitious hope that I would be able to write and catch up with the Script Frenzy peeps....I remained sidelined. BUT, I've decided to have my own SCRIPT FRENZY!
So, tomorrow (April 19th) I'll be showing up at the Page to WRITE WRITE WRITE my way through this play-to-screenplay flip! I plan on entering this screenplay into the 2011 Austin Screenplay Competition, the deadline being May 15th (June 1st for late entries)....so, I gotta get my 'busy' on and have my own Script Frenzy! A flurry of writing needs to happen and fast!
What's your current project and are you showing up at the page?
Ciao for Niao - Texas Playwright Chick

Um, ya, I'm up to page 5 in my new script. I, too, was sidetracked. But, I'll follow your lead. Tomorrow, I'm writing more pages. Okay, knock knuckles. Gotcha. And, don't forget you're T Day on my blog. See you soon on the screen!
