NaNoWriMo tackles screenplays

since the writing world is too small to completely self-segregate by genre, chances are you know someone who's tried national novel writing month (a.k.a. NaNoWriMo), a 30-day marathon in which writers commit to writing 50,000 words of whatever each november. if you're particularly into deadlines yourself, chances are you've wished they'd do an equivalent challenge for scripts. (50,000 words? what does that even mean to us?)

happily, the good folks at NaNoWriMo are making that wish come true this june:

script frenzy

no details are on the site yet, but i'm interested in hearing more. (by june Sky had better be on draft 2, so maybe i'll be ready to crank out another.)
