April is fast approaching, like an inevitable avalanche of awesome or fail tumbling down Mnt. Everest while I run for my life. I feel it's presence, ever weighing on my soul, wherever I go. It's terrifying and exilerating all at once, but it doesn't have the same flavor of impending doom that Nano always brings to my mind. Somehow writing 100 pages of script in a month doesn't seem as challenging as the behemoth that is 50,000 words of novel.
Yes, I'm taking on the challenge, suiting up in cape and cowl for my first Script Frenzy ever. I'm pumped. I'm ecstatic. I'm rallying my JLA for battle done on the keyboard and my trusty notebook. I'll travel through time, beat the crap out of some good 'ole world domination seeking aliens and criminal masterminds, face those unexpected villains come blasting out of the past when I least expect it, and delve deep into mysteries whose truth is hidden within the dark, jealous heart of Gotham City. That's right boys and girls. That script I was talking about writing for my fanfiction? It's actually happening, at this very moment the wild center of imagination within my genius is flailing a grand epic of epic proportions into existence. It's going to be shocking. It's going to be awesome.
I warn those poor deprived souls who aren't experts in classic Batman (Knightfall, the Long Halloween, Under the Red Hood, TDKR, The Killing Joke) to stay away, for the irony of the parallel universe I've created will be wasted on you if you don't understand my fantastic distortions of the regular DCU.Just wait, a month from now in the depths of a plot twist I hadn't quite expected that has just thrown my script to all hell I'll be wailing in despair. I'll be reading this post then, trying to reignite the fire that sent my writing centers flailing before April even touched the world.
I'm trying to get through the tedium of the origin story before April comes knocking, and then I'll launch full speed into the wondrous and terrible experience of smashing out a fully fledged story in a month. Needless to say, I can't wait.
