RSVP for TGIO Party - May 1st!

deejsylvis — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:45:25 -0700

Okay, putting this up now because I should call Tequila Bookworm back by the weekend or so with some idea ... drop me your RSVPs here or on the Facebook event so I have some idea of who's planning to make it to the Thank God It's Over bash on May 1st (full details - http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/eng/node/2002614).

Any questions, let me know. Hope to see you there!

Home Stretch!

RyanHarron — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:43:21 -0700

So, with just a few days left, I was wondering how everyone is doing? I'm still finding myself a little bit behind, but had a really productive weekend, so I think I'm still going to be able to finish this, barring the unforseen.

Hurray - Made it to the Finish Line!

go-mom — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:38:43 -0700

Here's a cheer
And a bottle of beer
To everyone who's made it
And signs their name here!
Congrats from me to you

Mississauga/Brampton Crowd

Are there many from Peel (besides Ryan and I) - anyone interested in meeting up at Chapters Square One for writing sessions?

Regarding Sunday's Writing Session

deejsylvis — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 13:42:50 -0700

Please note that I won't be canceling tomorrow's writing session, as I know some of you are downtown and could likely still make it even with the TTC stoppage ...

However, I personally won't be able to make it down unless some miracle brings the subway and buses back to me by then. Have fun! Be productive!

The Obligatory Celebratory Halfway Point Thread

QuiltedPorcupine — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:11:20 -0700

After a couple days of limited productivity mid-week, I had a rather productive day today (technically, yesterday but whatever) thanks to the handy-dandy writing session.

At said writing session I passed the halfway point! In honor of making it halfway, I'm going to employ my traditional image of celebration and/or sarcasm.

Wasn't that fun?

Regarding Monday night's Writing Session

deejsylvis — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:36:56 -0700

Just a quick note -- if the TTC strike does occur on Monday, the writing session that night at the Reference Library will be rescheduled for Wednesday night the 23rd.

25 Pages!

QuiltedPorcupine — Wed, 9 Apr 2008 00:09:10 -0700

I noticed we didn't have any milestone celebration threads yet so I figured that I would create one to celebrate passing the 25 page mark.

I'm feeling pretty optimistic about my screenplay at the moment.

Oh, and in support of all those who have (or who will) reach the 25 page marker, here's a hearty huzzah.

Huzzah! :-)

Halfway Party cancelled -- sorry, folks ...

deejsylvis — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 05:15:54 -0700

UPDATE:

Sorry, folks -- but less than a day before the event, and I'm the only one who's said they'll definitely be there. Hope to see you at the next event instead ...

Tonight's Virtual Writing Session

deejsylvis — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:54:11 -0700

Hey, folks.

There seems to be something gone a bit wrong with the torontonano.org website -- it's not coming up at all at this moment (8:50 pm). I've sent an email to tech support, but I don't know if that'll be responded to in time.

I apologize if things don't work out tonight -- I'd say keep checking in for a bit, in case they get it running, but if we don't put it together for tonight I'll try to move things to a chat tomorrow night instead, so we don't miss the writing time together.

Hope all is going well,

D.J.

So, whatchawriting?

RyanHarron — Wed, 2 Apr 2008 19:40:36 -0700

So, now that everyone's had a chance to get their script started ... what are people writing?

Mine's either a screenplay or a short film screenplay (we'll have to see) that's a comedy about a loudmouthed sports commentator who's forced to take a month-long vow of silence.

Tonight's Writing Session -- PLEASE READ!

deejsylvis — Thu, 3 Apr 2008 09:16:37 -0700

Unfortunately, since I fell this morning and hurt myself kind of annoyingly, I don't think I'm going to be at the writing session tonight. I'm sorry; I'm just kind of bruised and achy and I need to sit still and rest.

Please, don't let that stop you guys from going to the coffee shop and writing! If someone could just put up a little sign or note or something, so people can find each other, that might be a good idea.

See you at the next thing! Well, the next one is online, but after that!

Can I count worksheets in my total?

JoannaC — Wed, 9 Apr 2008 06:01:29 -0700

I am doing some play adaptations to use with my French students and am wondering if you think it's fair to count worksheets and other supplementary materials in my page count. I am currently at about 20 pages of script (which I am editing down a little!) and 5 pages of activities. Can I count the activity pages?

Canada -- Ontario -- Toronto

Aaaand we're off!

deejsylvis — Tue, 1 Apr 2008 04:45:39 -0700

How's everybody on their first day? Feeling kind of crappy myself, but hopefully I'll have an idea figured out and start putting pages together soon ...

Ways to keep in touch (Facebook? LJ?)

deejsylvis — Sun, 9 Mar 2008 06:41:15 -0700

... of course, this is going to be the best way, but for those of you on Facebook / Livejournal, we do have Toronto Script Frenzy groups there you could join --

Our Facebook Group:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7534081625

Our Livejournal Group:
http://community.livejournal.com/scriptfrenzyto/

So join up with either, or both, to stay in touch! Of course, the most up-to-date info will always be here first ...

STILL looking for a few venues! Mostly for writing sessions!

deejsylvis — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:31:50 -0700

EDITED:

Okay ... as you'll notice under the 'Events' listing, I'm starting to get a pretty good schedule put together. But I still need a few locations ... most particularly, someplace that would work for a Saturday writing session (without getting too crowded, not that I expect our group to be huge) and somewhere that would work for a writing session the very last night, going to midnight if necessary.

Any ideas? Anyone? Anyone?

Canada -- Ontario -- Toronto

Okay guys. Since, y'know, everybody seems to be ignoring me...

diannaskye — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:36:01 -0700

Reminder: this is Lithy. -.-

And and and I feel ignored and unloved.

So, who thinks I should actually do screnzy with either a)a later part of the Stick Figure adventures or b)something else

Or does anyone think I should just pity my wrists for the fact that I have carpal tunnel?

Welcome, all!

deejsylvis — Thu, 6 Mar 2008 04:57:10 -0800

Hey, folks! Just wanted to say a quick hello -- my ML superpowers were just switched on for the year, and I'm starting to think, "Hmm ... I really should start planning some stuff ..."

Which reminds me -- I could use some help! If you have some time between now and the beginning of April to help me set up some Script Frenzy events and so on, I'd really appreciate it. I have a play opening in two weeks, so things are crazy in my life already! Drop me an email (deejsylvis@yahoo.com) or message me here if you can help.

So yeah, we're starting to gear up for another great year of scripts and hanging out -- I hope you'll join us!
