Challenges are always fun. And writing under pressure can really feed your creativity. So how about trying to write a 100-page screenplay in one month?

This is the challenge extended by the people behind Script Frenzy. There are no prizes or awards other than feeling good, and getting a lot of writing done. The fun of it is in registering on the site, keeping track of your page count and participating on the Script Frenzy forums.

The whole idea is of course just having fun. The odds of any of the participants coming up with the script for the next Oscar-winner or Spielberg´s next blockbuster are slim to none. But that doesn´t matter. Writing lots of material in a short burst is a great way to kick up your productivity – you´ll learn and grow as a writer.

The challenge starts April 1st, and all the details plus a nice library of writer´s resources can be found on the Script Frenzy site. Am I participating? Sadly, no. I´ll be polishing my short documentary opening on April 15th. But I´m seriously considering going into a writing frenzy on my own come May or June.

And if you don´t have a story to write, no worries, just check out Script Frenzy´s own Plot Machine. My randomly generated plot came out like this:
