IT'S SCRIPT FRENZY

Now that Script Frenzy has been cancelled, I was thinking of changing the name of this blog. I want to still keep it running with script writing type tidbits but open it up beyond just the Screnzy crowd. 

so I'm going to do Script Frenzy/Camp Nanowrimo this year (which starts tomorrow - aka in less than 2 hours)

and I'm going to write the scripts for two episodes of this TV show I have in my head

my goal is 20k total

I have no idea how this is going to go

My fellow Screnzians,

By now most of you will have heard the news but for those that haven't: Script Frenzy has been cancelled. While my personal feelings on this are a mixture of sadness and anger at how this went down, I wanted to reach out to all of you one final time to thank you and share some good news for our script writing ambitions in a post Screnzy world.FYI the Script Frenzy site will be shuttered soon so this is your very last communication from me.

I cannot thank you all enough for your enthusiasm, your passion, your talents and most of all your participation these last few years that I served as ML. I appreciate each of you regardless of whether you participated in events or not and I truly thank you for sharing in this crazy writing frenzy. I loved this event, small as it was, and each of you were a part of that. I will miss writing with you.

Since this may well be farewell, I need you to promise me one thing. Promise me that, even without the 30 day April deadline, you'll keep writing, keep working on your dreams and keep nurturing your creativity in the face of all the distractions of the real world. The end of Script Frenzy doesn't have to mean the end of your script writing journey and I hope you won't let it be.

On that note, there is a little good news in the midst of this. Camp NaNoWriMo will be held in April this year and they've added a new option to allow you to write scripts. So, while it's no Script Frenzy, you'll still be able to participate in a Screnzy-like event by writing your script in 30 days during the April Camp NaNoWriMo session. The community structure for that event is very different than what you may be used to from Screnzy but it's at least a way to keep the Script Frenzy challenge alive. I encourage you to consider joining me in participating this year. (You can use the same login info on the Camp NaNoWriMo site as you did for Script Frenzy if you want to check it out.)

Lastly, all my old script writing articles and pep talks will remain archived here if you need them and the Tumblr will stay active (though I'll likely rename it at some point). Even though Screnzy is gone, if you find yourself in need of a pep talk or advice, please don't ever hesitate to contact me and I'd be happy to try to help. My contact info is below and I'll remain your ML in spirit forever.

This brings us to the big fade out, the final curtain, the last panel. I wish you all nothing but the best in your writing endeavors and I hope to see you around the internet.

And... Scene.

Your ML,

Hillary

SCRIPT FRENZY in april!! best part of my year, hands down.

things i am not excited about:

moving. ugh. again. i know it has been a year (holy shit, a whole year!). but still, i have to pack, find a place to live and move there. gross.

but, SCRIPT FRENZY. who knows what is going on with that. starting in april you can follow my daily progress here: Once Upon a Screnzy. I used to update for NaNoWriMo, but it is not as fun as Screnzy.
