It's the first Sunday of April and I've noticed a few of you have joined the email list! If you have friends who are joining this and for some reason aren't subscribed to this list, tell them to... uh SUBSCRIBE!
Next up, Chris Baty says hello to all of you lot! (Insert wave here since he might be reading this now too.)

I'll answer a few questions that some of you might have written on the boards or had asked me directly and such. There will NOT be an "official" write-in this month unlike our Nanowrimo ones. Considering most of us aren't in the country too or have school and stuff.
However, this doesn't mean you can't meet each other if you like and write stuff together. Just gimme a pm or something if you wanna, I'm usually free... unless I'm not. We WOULD have a real life "Hurrah we've done Script Frenzy!" at the end though but info on that when the time comes.
Make use of the boards! We ARE pretty much online most of the time, eh? Heh, heh. Regarding validation, some of you might have msn-ed me and wondered how it would be.
Well, so far from Script Frenzyland, it MIGHT be via pdf files. So in any case, if you lot are using Celtx there shouldn't be a problem. If you're using Word or anything else, you can always get a free CutePDF printer when the time comes. If you have any other questions, just post it on the boards or send a message to me and I'll see if I can help!

And since it's Sunday... It's JUST a Sunday! 100 pages, people! We can do it! Heck... I only have four pages done since I've been rather busy but awkward silences CAN take a few pages if you like. Or arguments. Nothing can take up a whole page like arguments.
And lastly, remember to send your internal editors to a vacation. We don't care about typoes or rambling dialogue for now. We just want it to get written!!
I forgot to send mine away for the earlier part of the week and now, I sort of think he's still lurking around... (Why a "he" you ask? Those who haven't read my emails before during Nanowrimo will learn who he is near the end... He usually teams up with another lady... Heh heh heh)
As for now, onwards you go! Write your dialogue more! Make them argue, make them sing! Make them have really awkward silences that span more than five minutes!
From,
Sarah Coldheart
Ps. It's fun if you keep skipping to the various sections of the email by doing the find keyword thing.
