I’ve got an idea forming in my headI haven’t been working very hard on coming up with something for Script Frenzy. I know I don’t usually work very hard at NaNoWriMo, but with plays I actually think A LOT about what it’s going to be ahead of time. At first I was going to do my tornado/miracle play. (Don’t ask.) It’s not really a work in progress, as I’ve never typed any of it up, just a few notes I wrote to myself on an airplane a few years ago in a notebook I don’t think I have any longer. This play is inspired by this article in the NY Times: Victim of Climate Change, a Town Seeks a Lifeline by William Yardley. But that’s just what inspired it. I have no idea what it’s going to be about, I just thought there was a whole play right here:
I’m planning on setting the play in another village that was just mentioned in the article called Shishmaref because it’s on the Chukchi sea, which is the summer ground of the Gray Whale. (See how all these things come together?) I’m starting on Saturday! POSTED BY Cybele AT 3:04 pm ScriptFrenzy • |

During November it's all about me writing a novel. Sometimes it's about whalewatching. You know, and then there's other stuff.

I’m glad I’m not the only one without much of an idea for Script Frenzy. I hope I haven’t gotten cocky after winning Nanowrimo a couple of times.
That sounds like a great idea! I look forward to reading about your process.
I’ve added you to my Script Frenzy blogroll on Ink in My Coffee, http://devonellingon.wordpress.com, and I hope you’ll return the favor.
Best of luck!
Unless the play is supposed to be good, I don’t think the NaNo spirit encourages anyone to do much planning! If you don’t pick the crooked man in the crooked house, you could always craft a play about a girl who finds a ring that produces a fairy godmother who gives her candy!
whoa i did nanowrimo too, in sixth grade!
So, how did you do?
