"Script Frenzy" is a challenge to write a script in thirty days. A participant may choose any theme and any script-related genre. This is the first year I will participate, thanks to my husband who convinced me to try it. I shared the idea with my students and several of them are interested. This week, I plan to have lunchtime meetings for students who are interested in doing this independently. (Doing it as a class project would be much to difficult with end-of-the-year testing going on in April). I would love to have a small group of students to meet occasionally during the month of April to share ideas and support one another. I have offered extra credit to any student who participates and will award points based on amount and quality of work.
Personally, I am struggling to decide between a movie screenplay and a series of TV scripts. I have ideas for both. One thing I am certain of, this writing project I am going to focus on comedy. I've never tried writing a pure comedy and I think this will be a good opportunity to try my hand at it. They say comedy is more difficult to write than drama and I believe it. Here's to writing challenges!
