Pre-Frenzy!
Today Margaret and I met up with some of my fellow Script Frenzy buddies (whom I hadn't met before — I'm a big fan of the Internet, not least for things like this). We had a fun afternoon talking writing and popular culture ("Can you make some sort of rudimentary lathe?") and food and some of the various ins and outs of life. I was very happy to make this sort of connection with some new writing buddies, and it was a teriffic lead-in to Script Frenzy.
And that, of course, is the real fun of things like Script Frenzy and NaNoWriMo. Not so much the deadlines, nor the self-challenge, nor even the fact that you have a lot of words written at the end. But the fact that you know there are dozens and hundreds and thousands of people all over the world doing the same thing, and every single one wants every single other one to succeed. There's something quite magical in all that, quite powerful. Quite fun.

It was lovely meeting you and Margaret today. Hope to catch up again at write-ins and the TGIO get-together.
Wow... what a boring, nondescript comment that was.
Hmm... but it's quantity that matters in the next month, not quality! Yeah, that's a good excuse, er, reason for lack of imagination... Yeah... *cough* *cough*
Ah, but quality cannot emerge except where there are words to begin with! Quantity is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition of quality....
