Scripting my story

I'm stoked for Script Frenzy this year! I did it last year for the first time, and it was so much fun. I was really worried about how to format a script, but learned that a computer program does it for you. Thats awesome!

Script Frenzy has been dubbed "the Worst Screenwriting Contest" because there is no prize except for the actual finishing of your very own screenplay. No one has to read it, you don't have to stress, you just have fun and do it. The goal is to write a 100 page script, which can be a movie, a play, even a tv-show.

This comes along at a time when I am feeling like I'm just no good at writing, yet this story will not go away. Since I tend to come up with stories visually, Script writing could a good fit for me. I still really, really want to write novels, though.

But anyway, last year was great, I wrote a love story (surprised?) about two people who found each other again in a chance meeting at the airport, then spend a week together. I know, SOOO played, but I loved it! I got to 100 pages five minutes before midnight on the last day of April.

I'm working on some plot variations, since writing a screen play means a story has to be more succinct, more driven than in a novel. I'm hoping what I come up with could shape the novel for the better.
