If you enjoy writing, chances are you’ve got at least one of those ‘novels you’ve been meaning to write for years’ tucked away somewhere deep in your brain. At least I have.
Accordingly, I jumped into last year’s NaNoWriMo (a challenge to write a 50,000 novella in only 30 days) with all the mad enthusiasm I could muster.
I lasted about a week.
The problem was not the amount of work involved (I love writing, so it never feels like a chore); simply that the rest of my life was not organised enough to handle having much of it ‘on hold’ for a month.
Script Frenzy – run by the same group of people as NaNoWriMo – sounds much more achievable. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a 20,000 word screenplay / stage play in 30 days. Sounds like fun.
