1) Sign up for the event by clicking the "Sign Up "link in the top, right-hand corner of the site starting on March 1. 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) Log on. Click on “My Script Frenzy” on the top menu bar, select "Edit"--->"Writer and Script Info" and tell us about your brilliant self and your upcoming script. While you are editing your script info, make sure to set your page-count goal by April 15 or your goal will be locked in at 100 pages.

3) If you are working with a partner this April, you want 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 and Script Info." As soon as your partner does the same thing, you'll both be officially linked on each other's profiles, and when one person updates the page count for their script, it will change the number for both partners.

4) Begin your script-planning procrastination by reading 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 escapade ahead.

5) Make sure you read our Scriptwriting Countdown Boot Camp and Young Scriptwriter Workbooks, so you'll know how to create compelling characters, weave a thrilling plot, write witty dialogue, and format your script-to-be!

6) 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 and Script Info."): spaces for you to enter your cumulative 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).

8) 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. The adding of your name to the Honor Roll of Winners requires that you upload a version of your script in text format (scrambled for security) to our site to be counted.

9) We'll post step-by-step instructions on how to upload your script to our team of superpowered computational robots (flown in from Denmark every year) starting in mid-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 questions, just check out our General FAQs.

Best of luck in April!
