Hello - where be we Devoners? *Kicks self for atrocious use of grammar and spelling*

It's a bit lonely here on Screnzy - it's overflowing on Nano.

Hi,

Yes its going to be quite a bit quieter than NaNo. They are hoping to get about 10k participants this time. Last year there were about 8K.
You might want to try the looking in some of the other regional forums - London & Nottingham both have threads - they still are very quiet. I think perhaps it will get a bit busier during SF.

Think I'll play again this year; it was fun last year (even if my script was, ermmm, a bit odd).

WOOO!! **Waves** I'm not the only one! YES! **Punches air over-enthusiastically, knocks over ornament. Bugger. That was my Gran's...**

First-timer here. Looking forward to the challenge (and the disipline too). I'm on Exmoor (well, OK, Exmoor is *right* behind my cottage, which makes our climate here somewhat unique...) and I can promise you, my script ain't gonna be about bloody ponies. Or sheep. Or cows. Although I may include a parody of some of the locals that frequent the pub I work in. You know. The ones that come in and, as they get warmer sitting next to the fire get more "pungent". Oh, and sit there doing bloody tractor impressions all night. No, really. I may have to kill some of them in a freak threshing accident or, failing that, a psychotic attack from a DEFRA rep who can't stand the paperwork any more...

Good luck everyone, and GO DEVON!

I'd like to complain about my toilet. It's taller than I am.

Yep, I'm one from Devon! First timer for script writing. I did NaNo and ended up writing the weird bit of rubbish; I'm hoping SF won't produce something that makes me so concerned over how my mind works.

Glad to see there's a couple of us from down here. I'm in Lifton (near Launceston, but just over the border.)

Hello everyone! Yes I'm here having my first bash at it... day one and the page is still empty mind you...

Hello! I'm also having a go at my first Script Frenzy. After successfully doing my first NaNo last November, I was easily tempted by the prospect of yet more creative madness. :)

Yep, I'm another one getting stugged in the mire. Or more literally, trying to sort out the formatting technicalities of writing a script. Once I've sorted that out, the script should write itself. Who am I kidding? To paraphrase Lew Hunter - if you've ever watched a pencil on a blank page or a keyboard with blank screen, who makes them move? So I'd better get to it.

Hope to meet some more Devoners or Devonians or Incomers soon!

Best wishes to you all,
Palefox.

Palefox, if you haven't already, download yourself CeltX. It's free and it auto-formats your script.

I'd definitely recommend CeltX too. It'll save you so much time because you don't have to worry about formatting yourself, and it's very easy to use. I only downloaded it the day before Script Frenzy began, and got the hang of it quite quickly.

How are everyone's scripts going, four days in? I'm enjoying it so far, although not devoting as much time to this as I did for NaNo. :)

Thanks to Kes Cross and Leonida for responding. I had already downloaded CeltX but hadn't had a chance to use it. Have now got it sussed and am finding the Index Cards a great help. More now seems to be happening in my story than I had planned! Which is good.

I'm not devoting quite as much time to this as I did to Nano either though I am reading a lot about script writing and also doing background research for my story.

Have also had to take time off for essentials like shopping (for animal supplies, not shoes!) Will now have to get out and dole out the feed or else they will come knocking on the door looking hungry.

Will hopefully be able to be glued to the computer for the evening. Let's face it, it's more entertaining than watching TV any day!

Cheers!
Palefox.
