Script Frenzy has begun. One hundred pages in thirty days. Here we go. :)

You know, I actually completely forgot about it until this morning, when I realized it was April 1 and thus the beginning of the frenzied scriptwriting. I almost decided not to do it, because I’ve got a few other writing projects going on. But I seem to be able to write around five pages of script per hour, which means I shouldn’t have any problem pumping out a hundred pages by the end of the month — in theory it would only take ten days at two hours a day. Piece of cake. In theory. :)

An hour ago I sat myself down to come up with an idea for it, and I think it’s going to revolve around a BYU student ward, particularly two apartments (four guys and four girls, with one central character from each). I’ve drafted out the basic plot arc, but I need to do a lot more plotting and character development before I start writing. No title yet.

This’ll be my first full-length play, though. Part of me wonders if I can do it. Luckily the other part of me is doing a very good job at silencing the first part. Heck, I’d never written a novel before November, but I did it. And I do have playwriting experience. It’ll be a fun adventure. (I’ve wanted to start writing longer plays anyway. I’ll keep writing short ones, of course, but I don’t want to limit myself to that.)

So now I’m working on this play, my Encyclopedia play, and those seven plays in seven days that I haven’t started yet. And a few stories and my War in Heaven novel. It’s good to keep busy. :P
