Is anyone doing the ScriptFrenzy?
YAchicka:
I just signed up - Not sure which idea I'll try hacking out - but very excited to be part of anything with the word 'frenzy' in the title.

I am doing it, and I know nothing about script writing! Frantically reading The Screenwriter's Bible by Trottier (it ROCKS) and downloading Celtx (www.celtx.com) a free script formatting program.
I'm in an unusual place since one of my very good writing buddies is the father of a very up and coming indie director who got excellent reviews at Sundance last year and is now filiming his first feature-length film. My friend loved my 2005 Nano book and told me if I would take the time to write the script, he would hand deliver it to his son.
I figure--might as well take the shot at it! I will probably blow it, since I know so little, but truly the only way to *really* blow it is to not do it at all.

That sounds like a great opportunity! I downloaded Celtx too (haven't tried to figure out how to use it yet) and checked out a few screenwriting books from the library. I think I'll probably go for it too-- I just don't know whether to adapt a story that's already written or start from scratch. I wonder which would be best for someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
Maybe I'll see you and YAchicka on the website! :bluebunny

I made you a writing buddy on the Script Frenzy site. I'm "HelenaTheMuse" over there, as that's been my NaNo handle since I joined in 2005. It's also the name of book I'm adapting.
I tried opening Celtx for the first time and just sat there with my mouth open. I have no idea how to use it or what I am doing! :bangcomputer
YAchicka:
I'm registered as lboylec - figured I'd highlight my maiden name 'Boyle,' since it's such a common name in the entertainment biz.
(As IF someone is going to write and ask to see my work based on the assumption that I'm one of 'those' Boyles - hee hee) :clover
