Having failed to complete my NaNoWriMo last November I’m starting a new overly ambitious writing project next month…
April is “Script Frenzy” month apparently where Not-As-Many-People-As-Participate-In-NaNoWriMo try and throw together a 100 page script over the course of 30 days.
The script can be for a TV show, a play, a movie, a comic, whatever… just batter out 100 pages in a month. Simple right? well last year I was planning on participating and I just forgot about it till it was too late. Kinda like April Fools, I always seem to remember about it on the 2nd when it’s too late…
I’ve started getting emails from the Script frenzy whenever anyone posts in the “Hi I’m doing a script frenzy” post in the Scotland forum, I’m not sure why… I’m considering stopping them but the naivety of some of the people amuses me… For example:
Hey, I’m Dan. 19 hailing from east end Glasgow. Been script writing about a year and a half now, its fun stuff. Give the frenzy a proper bash, just so happened I had just started planning an idea for a film (well a trilogy actually) just as I noticed the frenzy was coming around again.
My idea is basically a modern day twist on the age old Vampire/Werewolf war. I’m not releasing a whole lot out about it just yet because, not a lot is set in stone. But its shaping up beautifully and hopefully all goes well so when April rols around I just get to write! write! write!
I mean seriously you are going to write Vampire the Masquerade as a “Trilogy”, hasn’t someone already done that….
I hate to sound mean, I think that embracing the creative process is a wonderful thing, maybe I’m to cynical, but seriously…
I don’t know what I’m going to script yet. Probably a Comic or something like that. I was thinking of doing my Zombie Idea from last year. I’m not really that bothered I just want to write something. Maybe I’ll write my own take on a modern day interpretation of the “age old Vampire/Werewolf war….” Maybe not… I guess I could write a film script about space smurfs, maybe even expand the concept to include a plot…
One of the Ideas I’ve been tossign around my head is to script a computer game… Then I could declare May code frenzy and code it up… Alternatively I could do something else.
Probably like all my other endeavours of this type it will fizzle out within a week. But for that week I’ll be really enthused!
