In late Oct 2009, I wrote a post about NaNoWriMo (My 12 Step Guide for Succeeding at National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)) that was actually a culmination of a 12 post series I had done the previous year. This post was very popular and had many retweets on Twitter so I decided to rework it so that it applies to Script Frenzy.

I have chopped it back into a series of post so I will be posting one every day from now until the start of Script Frenzy on April 1st. The first post in this series posted earlier today on Script Frenzy tips and resources.

To make sure you don’t miss any of these Script Frenzy tips, please subscribe to the Script Frenzy section.

So as we discussed, Script Frenzy is a month long challenge to write a 100 page script from the people that bring you NaNoWriMo.

I will still, of course, be blogging about my own personal journey in taking on this challenge here at Unpublishable Pennings but I wanted to do a whole bunch of how-to type articles about the challenge and I didn’t want to have Script Frenzy totally take over this blog.

So I set up a whole little section of my website called Script Frenzy tips and resources that is going to be a seasonal blog devoted only to Script Frenzy.

Here’s the problem. I guess I started it too late to have it be indexed in time for the start of Script Frenzy so it isn’t really showing in search.

So I have to ask a favor. If you have a blog about writing and you are either doing Screnzy or just plan to write about it, if you could please link to http://hillarydepiano.com/scriptfrenzy/ or an article from that section to help me out in the SEO department and also to help get the word out about my posts over there, I would greatly appreciate it.

(I’ve posted this before but it bears repeating.)

On good days, everything goes right and I have the whole script executed from start to finish within four or five hours. On bad days I write the whole script in four or five hours, realise that it’s useless, tear it up and start again. I repeat this process four or five times until I’m reduced to a blubbering wreck that just slumps in the armchair and whimpers about how it has no talent whatsoever and will never write again. Next day I’ll get up, get the whole thing right the first time and spend the rest of the day walking round reading my favourite bits to my wife, children, or visiting tradesmen.
