Script Frenzy

FADE IN:
ROGUEWRITER sits at the desk, her fingers typing furiously.
ROGUEWRITER (v.o.)
Script Frenzy begins in less than a month, and I have, for some reason, signed up. Don't ask me how I plan on pulling this off, it's like NaNoWriMo, I have no idea how I will survive. Thankfully, Alice in Wonderland rehearsals, if previous plays are any example, will be very inspiring and full of dialogue.
Script Frenzy is writing a 100 page script in the month of April. Sounds easy enough, as a 50,000 word novel comes to about 175 pages.
I have my idea - a beginning, a middle, and no end. The characters are forming in my mind, and I'm scrambling to make sure that I am ready when April 1st comes around.
Is anyone else attending this year? If so, please
a) comment
b) post your username so that I can find you.
Thanks,
Oh, and you'll find me as Scribe Azai.
And that's a wrap!

FADE OUT.

2010 will be the year

I am putting this pledge on here, so that I will hopefully keep it. My pride and honor are very important to me, and if I tell you, then I have to follow through. I am notorious for not finishing things. My precious work in progress, Rebel, has never had a finished first draft. A crime, in my opinion. I have spent a year and a half of my life working on various versions of it. Two years, if you count that horrendous first attempt at writing I did at age eleven, which I still look back upon, somewhat fondly.

I promise you, that I will finish a first draft of Rebel by the end of this year, or die trying. This will be an awful draft, and in two years, I will laugh at it as hard as I laugh at my first real attempts. You can only give what you have, and I have yet to see enough of the world.

I thank you, all of you, for the inspiration you give me.

Goodnight, and good luck.
