So today was the kick off for Script Frenzy, a month long script writing challenge in which the goal is to write 100 pages of script before the end of April.

I took part in NaNoWriMo for the first time last year and managed to reach the goal of 50,000 words but still have not actually completed my novel. Reading it now most of it still makes me cringe but there are some good parts which I am quite proud of.

My script for Script Frenzy is sort of a prequel to my NaNoWriMo novel which was about the formation of a Christian ska band. The script I am writing for Script Frenzy will be a graphic novel script (just the script so far, my art skills are terrible) about some of the secondary characters from my NaNoWriMo novel, the band Cross Affiliation who acted as mentors to the members of the ska band.

Writing a script is a completely new thing for me and I will admit I am finding it a little difficult but I am sure that I will soon get the hang of it. I am using a free program called Celtx which is specially designed for scripts which is fairly simple to use with some good features.

I'm attending a Script Frenzy kick-off party tonight which I am looking forward to. I enjoyed attending the write-ins for NaNoWriMo and some of the same people will be along tonight.
