Script Frenzy started April 1st right on schedule. The interesting thing for me though, was that I was on a whale watching tour in the Puget Sound bright and early the morning of the first. So, there I was, dockside before the tour started, thinking about beginning to write my screenplay. The lightbulb over my head illuminated: I can download the CELTX app (screenplay writing software) to my iPhone and start writing during any downtime on the tour. I did just that, so the fist page and a half was written on a catamaran on the way back to the dock.
The working title of my screenplay is Echoes of Enchantment. Here are some of the characters. Jennabel Proctor, she had to assume the duties of Guardian for the coven after her mother, Diana was murdered. Jefferey Proctor, Diana's husband and Jennabel's father (he is sad). Sadie Bishop, Jennabel's best friend, or is she? Cuff Nalpak, maladjusted and disgruntled coven member. Patrick Miller, the blacksmith's apprentice (every story needs a blacksmith's apprentice).
So far, I am ten pages into the screenplay and need only 90 more to claim success at the end of the month and conclusion of Screnzy '12. I will keep you posted with progress updates and tidbits about plot and character as the month progresses.

Screnzy, huh? What is this strange practice you speak of? I will access the oracle to discern the threads of truth.
ReplyDeleteScrenzy is short for Script Frenzy, where the challenge is to write a 100-page screenplay during the month of April. I participated and finished my screenplay this past April. The plot is actually the back story for the novel I started last November. I see the novel as being the first in a three (or more) part story and the screenplay will be converted into a novel, and the second story in the series. I hope this makes sense (it almost does to me). ~Slayer
