Failure

Dear Wal,

Guess what wonderfully fantastic thing I decided I was going to do today. I decided I was going to start writing for Script Frenzy, because somehow my brain had tricked me into believing that it was actually April 1st and not March 31st. I don't know how. It might be because I can never keep track of which months have 31 days and which ones have 230 days, I don't know. So I can't keep track of dates, so what? I never get my due dates for school screwed up. Well, I have once or twice, but it doesn't happen often. Anyway, that means that I turned in an assignment for an online class a day early, so at least I don't have to worry about that tomorrow.
I'm pumped about Script Frenzy, but let me warn my dear few readers that daily posts may not be quite so daily for the next month, judging by how badly I failed at keeping a NaNo journal last year. Script frenzy isn't going to be as difficult, I think, because writing a script is just so much less high maintenance than a prose novel, and I also have spring break slap in the middle of April. I've been writing my fanfiction as a script as some of you might already know, just to get through the roughest bits of the origin and to familiarize myself with writing a script-something I've never done before. It's fairly easy to think in glossy pages and dramatic battle scenes. Plus, doing Jason's thoughts is completely hysterical and entertaining. I don't have to awkwardly weave them into a stream of prose anymore, all I have to do is say there's a little bubble there and it works. It's such a relief. I don't have to grapple with describing the images in my mind and making them flow into one another, I can just cut from panel to panel. It's extremely satisfying.
Just you wait, I'll have some sort of crisis on my hands by the end of the week. I'm confident, but I know all too well what any prolonged stretch of writing does to my sanity. Anyway, I'm going to a kick off tomorrow to write and eat food with other scripting people. Wish me luck.
