It's Just Abbey

I’ve always loved to torture myself. My yearly bout with NaNoWriMo and when I tackled a marathon last year. Self inflected pain is my favorite kind. I love being stressed and in pain. (If that sounds a tad demented, it is supposed to!)

What does that mean to you gentle readers? It means that you are going on an adventure with me called Script Frenzy. It is like National Novel Writing Month but it is with a script and it starts on April 1st. I will sit down for 30 days and write a 100 page script of epic awesomeness.

This sounded SO much easier in February. I was batting the idea around and finally decided a few weeks ago that I would try it out. I kind of have a plot, I kind of have an idea but I am….

Arg! I already have writers block? I am only 130 words into a blog post and my brain is fried. Maybe it is because I am coming off a 12 hour shift at work but who knows. I am sitting here watching Julie/Julia and feeling very guilty. She is cooking and blogging. I wish I could bone a chicken for you fine people but I just can’t do that. I would probably wuss out, name the duck Brad and take him for a walk in the park.

Damn. Now I want a duck.

I have all that I need to write this script. By that, I mean I have Final Draft 7. Done. I have a plot in mind and am prepared to fumble out a screenplay next month. I have no idea what a formal script is supposed to look like but hey, that is what Brown is for. He will be joining me on this wild ride and he will be my editor hopefully. Frankly I am not sure if he knows what an actual script looks like but I am going to believe that he is a master of all writing arts. He is my Mister Miyagi of writing!

No! We are writing together like Ben Affleck and Matt Damn. He can have first dibs on which is which. But we are writing separate scripts. And I’m not a dude. So, maybe it isn’t a perfect comparison.

So here is the deal. I am starting Script Frenzy in less than 36 hours. I will not neglect my blog and you will be here for every meltdown and blowout. Don’t panic though. It won’t be all I will be talking about. Still keeping up with cake decorating classes, BFFridays, dueling books, and I have at least one race next month. Worry not! And just for your patience, I give you my happy little MSPaint drawing I made while procrastinating this very entry.

PS Now I am craving beef bourguignon. I’m not sure what it even is but it looks tasty. TO GOOGLE!
