Writing Words - writing it is the only way of getting it written

My favourite writing challenges

March 26th 2008 23:03
NaNoWriMo - I may repeating myself here, but NaNoWriMo is one of the best things since sliced bread.

April Fools - What I like most about April Fools is that you get to set your own goal. Last year I had my personal editing month in April, and I edited my NaNoWriMo 2006 manuscript (224 in total, and I had gotten through 24 of them during NaNoEdMo the month before), including writing new scenes to fill the holes. It was the first time that I enjoyed editing as much as I enjoy writing the first draft.

NaBloPoMo - The reason why I like it so much is that it proves to be a real challenge for me. You'd think it can't be that difficult to write a blog post every day for a month, but I've tried it twice and was unsuccessful. Which makes me even more determined to be successful next month.

Script Frenzy now in April

February 24th 2008 20:52
Script Frenzy is for script writing what NaNoWriMo is for novel writing: A 30-day challenge which will take its participants one (or more) step(s) closer to their dream of being a script writer.

Last year, Script Frenzy took place in June, but this year it has been moved to April, which means it is approaching fast. I will not even attempt to take part in the challenge this year - I am too busy and I'm not a script writer, so I feel I couldn't motivate myself to sit down to work on a script every day after the day job. If I had more time, and if I didn't have a novel to revise, I would give it a go, though. Just imagine you could write the script to a successful movie or the next big sit com!
