Script Frenzy Website is open for registration. Script Frenzy begins in April 2008. I’ve decided to adapt my 2006 NaNoWrimo Novel entitled Bread, Milk and Blood: A Tale of Zzzooommbbbiiieeesss in Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.

With the WGA Strike now over it’s time to get our spec scripts in order and start querying Agents.
First step, sign up for Done Deal Pro.
Second step…
Third step, make money.
And, somewhere in between update Dead Specs Page.

(with apologies to The Simpson's Writers
Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky)
Come gather 'round children,
It's high time ye learned,
'Bout a hero named WGA
And a devil named AMPTP.
We'll march till we drop,
The girls and the fellas,
We'll fight till the death
Or else fold like umbrellas.
So we'll march day and night,
By the big cooling tower,
They have the paper,
But we have the typewriters.
Rise. Wash. Repeat.
I hope someone uses it at the Fox Gate
and posts it to Youtube. . .

For those of you who made it to 20k, congrats! For those, like me who didn’t, congrats for even trying!
Many people don’t even make it past page three of these things, consider yourself fortunate for making past page four.
So, now what?
Well. That is up to you.
If you feel like you can do more of this than I would recommend a few things:

Script Frenzy Write In for RI has been moved from Saturday to Monday due to the Air Show.
ABC/Disney Fellowship deadline is a week away and I’m 10k words short. I don’t foresee making it. Never know, stranger things have happened.
Congrats to Mike B and Jen on the birth of their second daughter, Julia B.
Collings Foundation has listed 9-11 thru 9-13 (this is in the middle of the week, btw) for North Central. Also Manchester is listed this year too, I dunno if the Manchester Aviation Heritage Festival is back on or not.
It’s only $425 per person, ahem…
No sign if the EAA’s B-17 is going to be coming to Quonset this year or not.
Taking Brotherhood pictures tomorrow!
Time for bed!

I haven’t posted much about “Wrecked”, my Script Frenzy Script, except on my LJ Blog so here’s a few updates:
Current word count 5754Â aka up to page 32.
 So first act is done.
I may go back in and edit a bit but so far so good. Good news is I’m getting into the plot now.
The plan is to finish it by the 15 and edit the living snot out of it then mail it out to the ABC/Disney Fellowship by the 26th.
The original idea has changed a bit and I won’t be posting any of it until I get WGA/LOC paperwork back.
I’ll probably requesting Paul C’s skills for a nice poster mock up and or add it to the queue behind Resurrected, Gehma and O’Hare.
So far so good, and if anyone in the RI Area is participating and hasn’t come to one of the Write-Ins, so far we’ve been holding it on Saturday Afternoons at Reflections Cafe. If there’s a need to extend them into the Warwick/Cranston Area that’s easily doable.
Swing on by and say hello. We won’t be hard to spot, we’ll be the few people trying to pull plots out of thin air.
On a side note, oddly enough, the PCers have been able to get on-line through the Hot Spot while the Mac Phreaks haven’t which boggles me a bit…
