Script Frenzy

Back in November I participated in NaNoWriMo--National Novel Writing Month. This April I am challenging myself to take part in the screen/stage play counterpart: Script Frenzy. I have always enjoyed the screenplay format, even though I focus mainly on novels.

The ideas are starting to come together, and the characters are starting to speak to me--tentatively, not quite in full thoughts or with full sentences--but most of all, I'm starting to get excited. Starting a new project is always such a thrill. Even when I know the general gist, the possibility of surprise lurks around every corner, and getting to know new characters and new settings and new situations is magical.

I'm going to attempt to set an even more significant challenge for myself this April: blog more often about the process, the ups and downs, the failures and successes. This poor blog has been so neglected of late. Perhaps this is just what it needs to get itself up and running again. We'll see.
