The Beat
Hi Everyone!
We wanted to ask you for a humongous favor before you finish off the school year and skip into the sunshine of summer vacation. We tried to make this year's event awesome, but in order to find out if we did a good job, and to make next year's event even better, we've developed an anonymous survey for you to fill out.
It is super easy to take! Just click here!
Thank you so much. Your opinion matters so much to us!
Warmest Spring Regards,

I can’t believe it’s happened. Script Frenzy 2008 has officially come to a close and I miss it already!
The initial numbers are in! 860 young writers and 7,898 adult writers took place in the Frenzy, writing over 130,000 pages, which resulted in a grand total of 942 winners of all ages! As Hawaii rounds to May 1, we’ll report back with the final stats.
Congratulations Frenzies! You rocked the pages!
We’ve rolled out our I Wrote a Script, Now What? page, and keep an eye out over the next week for some great cameos on editing and revising.
Hi Everyone,
I want to make sure that everyone knows how to win today, since, well, it's the last day to do so.
The first thing you need to do is make your script a PDF file. You can find out how to do this here!
Then you will need to validate your script by visiting My Script Frenzy, clicking on Edit, then Writer Info. Once you are in this screen, hit the "Browse" button, find your PDF script file on your computer, select it, and hit the "Validate" button.
This FAQ has a great picture of this process!
Good luck. I will see you all on the other side of the Frenzy!

W00t!
You're almost done!
No matter what your page count ends up being when the clock strikes midnight on April 30, you will have written more script than most people do in an entire lifetime. I congratulate each and every one of you. Those who wrote one page to those who wrote over 100!
In the forums, I have read about amazing characters, highly complex plots, hilarious overheard conversations, and also found out about Charlie the Unicorn. All in all, I have had a blast spending Script Frenzy with you all.
Hi Everyone,
I just want to let you know that winning will begin in just a few short hours. If you have reached your page-count goal, you will be able to validate your scripts at 12:01 AM, April 25. I want to remind everyone to make sure that your time zone is correct. You can set your time zone by going to My Script Frenzy --> Edit --> scroll down until you get to the "Time Zone" drop down menu box.
Once you have that set, make sure your file is a PDF. You can find out how to make that happen here.
Once you do that, go to My Script Frenzy --> Edit --> Writer Info and upload your script to the Page Count Validator. Just hit the "Browse" button and find the PDF file on your computer.

Dear Script Frenzy Participant,
We are in the home stretch my scriptwriting friends! You have made it through the hardest part of the Frenzy, and the great FADE OUT is around the corner.
If you've crossed into the latitudes beyond Page 70, your journey is nearly at an end. You're likely typing away leisurely from some shipboard hammock, enjoying the light breeze on your laptop.
Hey Everyone!
Welcome to the magical forth week of the Frenzy. I hope you're having fun adding ridiculous plot twists and new mysterious characters to your stories!
My main characters, supporting characters, and my villian are all in an old beat-up van driving out to see a scientist-turned-guru who lives in a commune in the California desert. Wish me luck in getting them there in one piece!
I wanted to let you know that you can validate your scripts now, but winning does not begin until April 25.
Hey all!
Once again, I would like to feature some encouragement from Script Frenzy HQ!

Dear Script Frenzy Participant,
I can't believe we're already halfway through the Frenzy! What is even more astonishing to me are the people popping up on the Script Frenzy site with over 100 pages. The lesson, especially for those of us stuck below 50 pages, is that you can do the whole enchilada in two weeks.
When I woke up this morning and remembered it was already week three I nearly panicked thinking I had to be two-thirds finished with my script by now. But then, when I got to Script Frenzy Headquarters and looked at my wall calendar, I saw that Script Frenzy is only halfway over. We have just as much time ahead of us as we do behind us to finish our scripts. April even has a week five with four whole days in it.
Hurray for April!
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that If you have not already done so, you need to set your page-count goal by Tuesday, April 15. You can do this by going to “My Script
Hey everyone!

The Script Frenzy voyage has commenced! We've raised the anchor, sailed from the harbor, and are now somewhere out on that vast, churning sea of script. Some Frenzies have already achieved staggering page counts.
