scriptfrenzy
March 10, 2009 by Melanie Alberts.
Scriptwriting has been keeping my haiku-mind busy this past month. I’ve just signed up for a scriptwriting frenzy and hope that this focus will help me churn out the feature length script I’ve been plotting by the end of April. So, this year, I will not be writing a poem a day next month. I may just put the blog on haitus…not that I’ve been posting much..until my scripts are done. You have to write 100 pages for the frenzy (I also want to write a short film…less than 30 pages…and keep the ideas coming). What I love about scripts is the strong visual image aspect. So much can be said in so few words…like haiku…because the reader imagines the action and their vision expands on my words. It’s shared in a way that isn’t so spoon-fed, like poetry. I like that. So I need scriptwriting software, a friendly group of like-minded, frenzied writers for encouragment and a desire to just write it down as it comes.

Wow, has it been so long since I posted? Yikes. December is such a busy month. But I had no excuse today…my son and I stayed home due to his first infestation with lice. Poor guy, the cure is pretty dreadful. This nice lady at Walgreen’s introduced me to a product called “Lice Ice” which is a super strong holding gel that suffocates the little buggers. He’s had it on his head for 9 hours now and finally, after hours of feeling like his hair is too tight, it’s about time to wash it off. I’m going to pick for nits and then we’re heading out for pizza.
