Script Frenzy: Indecision!


With Script Frenzy less than ten days away, the time-honoured tradition begins: what the hell am I going to write?

You see, my problem is never just coming up with ideas for a WriMo challenge. My problem is deciding which one of them has potential to last me 30 days without my wanting to kill it.

This Screnzy is no different. At first, I had planned on writing an adaption/screenplay based on my Zombie Retrieval Agency stories. But then my NaNoEdMo project - also a ZRA story - fell through and I started to wonder if I had just gotten sick of that particular world.

Recently, I’ve been toying with the idea of an LGBT-themed TV drama. I’m in the middle of my own gay drama of sorts, what with my constant stressing over the closet issue and my involvement with the Facebook anti-homophobia campaigns. Perhaps it would be a cathartic experience?

But then I remembered that I don’t do cathartic writing. I write to get the hell away from real-life drama. If I’m stressing over coming out of the closet, the last thing I want to write about is a character coming out of the closet.

Which is why I’ve circled back around to Zombie Retrieval Agency. I’m keeping myself open to other ideas, browsing through the Adopt-A-Plot threads, things like that, while I plan this one out.
