&nbsp;

To make a long story short -- <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2012/06/26/im-back-and-ready-to-plog/" target="_blank"><strong>or to make a blog post a plog</strong> </a>-- I fell into the trap that so many other aspiring writers fall into.  I bought books about screenwriting.  I attended screenwriting meet-ups.  I talked to my friends about screenwriting.  And . . . .

&nbsp;

I never screenwrote.

&nbsp;

Until April 1, 2012 when I showed up and wrote.  And wrote.  And wrote.  For 30 days.

&nbsp;

I did it!

&nbsp;

Mind you, I neglected everything else in my life including (but not limited to) my dog, my hair (30 day ponytail), laundry, sleeping, exercising, any semblance of a social life, grocery shopping, and flossing.

&nbsp;

But I did it!

&nbsp;

The <a href="http://scriptfrenzy.org" target="_blank"><strong>Script Frenzy</strong></a> goal was to write a 110 page screenplay in 30 days.  Over-achiever and extra-crediter that I always am, I finished at 159 pages.

&nbsp;

Yep.  I wrote the <em>War and Peace</em> of Screenplays.

&nbsp;

Revision Frenzy, here I come!

What have you always wanted to do and put off?  Care to start a Frenzy for your dream on July 1st?  August 1st?

&nbsp;

It will be the ride of your life.  I promise.
