APRIL 4, 2012
Script Frenzy Writing Event

THIS IS THE MONTH! April is THE month for you to write that amazing movie or play script you’ve had lurking in the back of your mind since you saw that guy with the yoyos and the porcupine on the bus last year… Yes! It is time to get writing!

 Script Frenzy is a non-profit effort to encourage writers to get to it! First you join the website to have access to writing tips, great links to free writing software (Celtx rocks!), and forums for literary discussions and sharing. Then you write ONE HUNDRED PAGES between April 1st and April 31st… (Okay, so we’re a tiny bit late on this, but it was just brought to my attention by one of my teens here at Arvada – Thanks, Awesome Teen! – )

 Need some basic writing tips? Try our Teens Homework Help -- there a couple of great links: Elements of Style (by William Strunk, Jr.) and Online Writing Lab - Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling.

 And HEY, if you decide to do this, post a notice here so we can root for you, too!

I'm decided to do Script Frenzy after reading this post. Don't know if I'll be able to meet my deadline, but it's been fun so far!
