We wrote our first few words for Script Frenzy this evening. Yes, it has begun again with the oh-so-simple-sounding EXT. ALLEYWAY – NIGHT.
Who knows where it will lead, though? Will our hero find a way to save his girl from certain doom? Will our heroine find a way to let this blockhead know that he’s not a 1960s sci-fi action hero? Will our plucky sidekick get enough good lines to make it a worthwhile part?
Only time will tell. Time and about 19,700 more words.
Word count so far: 346.
Of course, I should mention that we didn’t just write those 364 words, only half of the required 667-word average. We spent most of the evening naming our characters, writing a plot summary, and blocking out rough scenes, which meant another 1000 words at least. I still feel confident we can do this.
