Script Frenzy sitrep

Today I had excessive amounts of fun at my very first write-in. (During NaNo last year, I missed all the write-ins because I was looking for them in Wollongong, and almost no-one from the Wollongong area was even doing NaNo, let alone being part of, or organizing, a write-in. This year, for Script Frenzy, I was wiser and got in on the Sydney action.) It was more talking than writing, by far, but a fair bit of the talking was about writing, which counts as writing. Doesn't it? In any event, I wrote eight pages, and another one on the train ride back to Wollongong.

More to the point, though, I got to hang out with a bunch of other writers as we struggled together to make the words happen. It wasn't as intense as Clarion — Script Frenzy is just for fun, after all — but it had some of that same siblings-in-arms feeling about it. And everyone was interesting and fun to talk with, and everyone was enjoying the melodrama of what we were doing. (And really, the melodrama is a large part of the fun.)

It's not too late to jump in and write your hundred pages for Script Frenzy! And, while we're on the subject, it's about time to start thinking about whether you can set large amounts of time aside in November for NaNoWriMo.
