Final Decision on Script Frenzy + My 'mad intense' Dreams

Okay, so after looking around the Script Frenzy site and my calendar for june (and notes on that other play), i decided to try it. I mean, why not? I'll be a part of history, taking part in the first ever Script Frenzy. and besides, I'm already signed up at this point, so there's no chance of me dropping out now. So last week during our extremely disorganized Writing Club meeting, i organized the scene order for the play. I plan on completing a more complete outline this week (around doing tons of schoolwork, recovering from 5 performances in a row, and starting work on assistant directing the short play i wrote).
In other news, I had some 'mad intense' (as i like to call them) dreams this last week. I started a sci-fi story based off of one, and have a complete outline for another that i'll probably hold off on starting until summer, since i have a clear enough idea of it formed. I have so much stuff i want to do this summer, there is no way i am going to get through all of it. But that's another story. For now, i'm just letting you know that i am doing script frenzy, and i have some amazing dream-inspired stories started/planned. Hope to update you soon!

Script Frenzy?

So I was loking around the fancy Script Frenzy website this morning (stupid, stupid, me!), and I started to think 'well, it's only 20k, you can probably do that. it's a lot short than NaNo, and in script format, 20k of dialogue will be a breeze!' So i haven't actually signed up yet (thank the goddess..Seshat of course!) but I have allowed myself to start thinking about it. It would be interesting to try and pull off, because I do have finals and everything then, along with Blink Festival at school and such, but I think it might be good for me to push myself and see if I can really write a full-length play. It would be fun to try. Terrifying probably, but fun. I think I'll acquire a few people's advice, and then maybe sign up. I have only about 2 and half weeks to plan stuff out for it, but I do have an old idea for a play that I started working outlining with an exboyfriend last summer, so maybe I should pull that out again and see what I think of it. I'l try and keep you updated. Happy May everyone! I hope your May Days were wonderfully spring-like!

Playwrighting Contest and April Fools Results

Okay, so first things first, neither Ms. Crewdson nor I won the playwrighting contest. Very good overall I think, as that avoided all awkward confrontations very well. But moving on(i'd already resigned myself to the results, so i wasn't too upset), yesterday was the last day of April Fools. I made a total count of just over 7,000 words for the month, which is better than i'd been afraid it would turn out, but still not quite at my goal for the month. But at least i tried, and I'm on a good roll with two stories so far (well, one short story, one introduction/background story for something longer), and so those should keep me writing for, well, probably through May at least. I don't think i'm going to do Script Frenzy in june, just because i have plenty of other stuff to do, and i don't want to complicate my schedule more than it already is.
That's really it for my update, so i'll leave you all alone now and go back to memorizing the Shakespeare prologue i have to know for English class on Thursday. Hope your spring is going as crazy fun as mine,
