So guess what I'm doing? Aside from not going to sleep when I said I would... I'm attempting to write 100 pages of script. Why? Besides the fact that I'm cool like that, I've been challenged. Script Frenzy is a challenge to young writers to write 100 pages of script in the month of April. They are the same people who promote NaNoWriMo- National November Writers Month. When writers attempt to write over 50,000 words in the month of November. So I didn't know what script frenzy was, until my sister told me she was writing a play. This is nothing new as she is the deep tormented writer in the family. But then she eagerly told me I should as well. So I thought about it, and decided, ok, I will sign up. And if I don't do it this time, I'll try it next time. But since I have less than 2 weeks I'm going to give it my all. Well, my all whenever I'm not distracted by the computer and other shiny things. So wish me luck, and try it yourself. www.scriptfrenzy.com
check it out at the very least. It encourages people to write, an art that shouldn't be lost.
And now for the sole (so far) funny scene from my play:
PROFESSOR ALKEN
Although many literary critics would say that the Odyssey is primarily about the love between Odysseus and his wife, I would say it is about more.

(Lily enters with a big to do.)

LILY
I'm sorry I'm late professor. This morning I woke and I was sure the messiah had come. So I tried to book a ticket to Israel. But then I remembered I couldn't afford, so I decided I'd come to class.

PROFESSOR ALKEN
(Commenting dryly)
Lily, as usual we are in awe that you deigned to grace us with your presence. (Turning back to his notes, he clears his throat.)

Good night everybody.

Hey Rivkah!! How are you? I haven't spoken to you in a loong time...well anyways, I happen to be looking at people's abandoned blogs...namely, mine, yours, and Ataras...lol I have a friend who does NaNoWriMo and script frenzy. I know she's finished NaNoWriMo twice...not sure how many script frenzies tho...her first nanowrimo got put into actual book form! It's some sort of deal nanowrimo has with a self-serve publishing company...I dunno. In any case I hope life is good and that you'll read this eventually.
