Screnzy tips: Work to finish your script, not just the Script Frenzy challenge

So, you’re thinking about writing a script in a month as part of the month long Script Frenzy (Screnzy) challenge? This sister event from the people behind NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) gives you the chance to challenge yourself to write a 100 page script in 30 days this April. I’m here to try to give you some tips to help you complete this huge goal.

This is something really important to focus on and I can promise you’ll kick yourself if you don’t strive for this. April is this crazy creative storm where you have lots of inspiration, support and inspiration because of Script Frenzy. You’d be stupid to not take advantage of that spirit and get your entire script done. Forget about your 100th page ending in the fade to black, just work on getting your story done no matter what the final page count is.

This is another reason to get ahead early. If you realize right away that you are writing a 150 page script, you can pace yourself accordingly.

Writing 100 pages of your 150 page script is a great start, but finishing the script is much better. Take advantage of the frenzy of writing to get the whole project done, not just part of it. You’ll thank me later, trust me. You will never be more productive than you’ll be during Script Frenzy so don’t let that opportunity pass you by.
