Somewhere along the way, I got it drilled into my head that there’s no motivation like accountability. For the next 30-odd days, this blog will be publicly documenting (to my shame or glory) my first attempt at Script Frenzy.

100 pages. 30 days.

I’ve never attempted to write a screenplay before. It’s a format entirely alien to me, making this endeavor somewhat like a blind man jumping into the Tour de France.

I doubt my stamina. I doubt my capability. But hot damn, maybe if I grip the bars and pedal hard I’ll get to the finish line. The helpful shouts of spectators and fellow participants will, I hope, prevent me from pedaling myself off of a cliff.

Besides inexperience and ignorance, I have a few items in my Inventory to aid me during this quest.

My armaments:

A 2-year-old iBook G4 named Farinelli

A program called Scrivener

A vague premise, sparked by this Craigslist post

A hefty dose of raw enthusiasm

It begins.
