Want to write a play or screenplay?
Script Frenzy, the sister to National Novel Writing Month, takes place this coming April (I think it was June last year) and sign-ups are now open. If you’re a NaNoWriMo participant, you can log in with that username and password.
The challenge is to write 100 pages of script in 30 days – you can do this alone, or with one other person. You can write screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, comic book and graphic novel scripts, adaptations of novels, or any other type of script you want – which gives plenty of scope (and presumably includes radio scripts as well, although it’s not in that list I swiped from the official site).
I won’t be taking part as it’s not something I’m interested in doing (at the moment – I’ll never rule it out completely) and I have other writing projects on my mind. But some of my readers might be interested – let me know if you are!

Script writing isn’t really my thing right now but I am seriously considering the 50,000 words Novel Writing Month event in November.

@ BradyFrost: I highly recommend National Novel Writing Month – I’ve done it 5 times and completed my 50K 3 times… although that does mean I’ve been left with 5 half-finished novels, which isn’t so good. It’s good for writing discipline though and it’s good fun particularly if you get involved with the community.
