Script Frenzy Results + JulNo Progress

Okay, well, as was somewhat to be expected, I did not win Script Frenzy this year. Everything was just too insane with theater end-of-year stuff, and I was way too worn out and depressed to deal with my ever more depressing play. I just couldn't deal with it. Maybe I'll finish it before the year is out, maybe I won't. We'll just have to see how stuff goes. Either way, I am now working on a piece for JulNoWriMo, entitled A Child's Utopia, and it's going, well...a little slowly. I'll catch up to where I should be eventually. But while in the process of painting your bedroom (& thus being stuck on the couch every night), you don't really dedicate much time to writing. I'm trying to get back on track ASAP, especially because I convinced a good writing buddy to join in late, and force me to keep writing, even if only by the mere pull of my own competitiveness(I think I totally spelled that wrong). Anyways, i'm currently just shy of 10k, when I'm supposed to be closer to double that. We'll see what happens. I might be able to pull one of those insane 5k days somehow, which would greatly help. Part of the trouble is that I'm stuck in a slow exposition that is hard to make interesting. I feel like I don't even want to write it, because I know it's pretty rotten. But I shall persevere!
Somehow.
(Hopefully) Write to you soon!
