Only a couple of days left for you to sign up for Script Frenzy. From the site’s About page:
Script Frenzy is an international writing event in which participants take on the challenge of writing 100 pages of scripted material in the month of April. 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 100 pages is victorious and awe-inspiring and will receive a handsome Script Frenzy Winner’s Certificate and web icon proclaiming this fact.
What I hadn’t realized until recently: in addition to screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, and short films, Script Frenzy also includes graphic novels.
Hm. I’m SO tempted. I’ve just started work on a cartoon-heavy novel for middle grade readers which is a sort of “Diary Of A Wimpy Kid meets Captain Underpants.” Right now I’m focusing on the script, with very rough sketches of the graphics. Unlike NaNoWriMo, Script Frenzy doesn’t include a wordcount and also doesn’t require you to start from scratch.
My novel isn’t in comic book format all the way through, which is why I’m still calling it a novel. However, there are going to be a LOT of mini-comic strips and fun graphic elements throughout, which is why I would be relying on scriptwriting format just as much as regular manuscript format.
What about the rest of you? Are you planning to do Script Frenzy?
