There is too much to say. I usually keep stuff down to a slim 140 characters, but today, there is too much to say.
I grew up in the 90s. The 90s were amazing. I had nothing to worry about, our country was doing great and all we had to discuss were Bill Clintons adulterous ways.

I’ve finally gotten around to starting my Script Frenzy work, and only five days after the first of the month. I got about five pages done in a little over an hour, which I feel good about.
To finish the challenge, I should average about 3.3 pages/day. I currently am not. I’ll work on it.
I am, however, happy with the fact that it is forcing me to tell this story that I’ve been so excited about for such a long time and have been dutifully avoiding for some reason.
This is a good thing for me to do, so I’m going to do my best to stick it out. Worst case, the first draft of my script will be close to complete - close enough to entice me to finish it.
Then revisions, then making the thing. This is my dream.

I just signed up to be a part of Script Frenzy (www.scriptfrenzy.org) this year. If you are unfamiliar, it is really not much more than an accountability system to get you writing. The goal is 100 scripted pages from April 1 until April 30. You can set up writing buddies to help you keep an eye on how much work you’re getting done compared to other people - like running with a friend so neither one of you walks half the way.
I don’t really have the time to do this, but I think I will always have that excuse. I’ve got stuff that needs writing, and this seems like a good way for me to get something down on paper. I can always clean and rewrite later.
Wish me luck.
