1) Sign up today. This will register you as a Script Frenzy Young Writers Program participant and create a basic profile and account for you on our site.

2) Once you sign up, click on “My Script Frenzy” on the top menu bar. This will take you to your profile where you can edit your "Account Settings" and "Writer Info" by clicking on the links on the left-side menu bar. It is very important that you set your time zone under "Edit Account Settings."

3) Starting March 1, you'll want to set your page-count goal under "Edit Writer Info." This Page-count-goal Calculator will help you set a challenging, yet doable, page-count goal.

4) If you're working with a partner this April, you'll need to link your accounts by April 15. You can do this by entering your partner's username in the "Writing Partner" box under "My Script Frenzy"--->"Edit Writer Info." As soon as your partner does the same thing, you'll both be officially linked. That means when one person updates the page count for his or her script, it will change the number for both partners.

5) Before April begins, check out everything under the Writer's Resources tab. There you'll find Four-week Scriptwriting Boot Camps, 100% awesome workbooks, and more scriptwriting how-tos than you can shake a stick at!

6)Then, begin your script-planning procrastination: read through all the great advice and funny stories in the forums. Post some stories and questions of your own. Get excited. Get nervous. Get ready for the escapades ahead.

7) On April 1, begin writing your script. Your goal is to reach your page-count goal by midnight, local time, on April 30.

8) Also starting April 1, we’ll add two new items to everyone’s Script Frenzy profile ("My Script Frenzy"--->"Edit Writer Info."): a space for you to enter your page count for the month on the honor system, and a place for you to post an excerpt from your script in progress (totally optional, totally encouraged).

9) Write like crazy for thirty days. If you reach your page-count goal by midnight, local time, April 30, you will be added to our hallowed Winner’s Page, and receive a handsome Winner’s Certificate and web icon. To win, you'll need to upload a version of your script as a PDF to our site to be counted. We'll post step-by-step instructions on how to make a PDF and upload your script to our team of superpowered computational robots (flown in from Denmark every year) in April.

10) Win or lose, you rock for even trying. To make sure that you know that we know you rock, we give each and every Script Frenzy Young Writers Program participant a glorious certificate from SF headquarters just for writing with us. After May 1, you will find the Participant Certificates under the Writer's Resources tab.

And that’s it! If you have any more questions, check out our General FAQs.

Best of luck in April!
