I’ve never written anything longer than a short story, but have always wanted to do more. I was thinking of participating in NaNoWriMo, but that’s a ways off and I just found out about a project from the same creators called ScriptFrenzy (scriptfrenzy.org) which starts in June. I’ve never even read a whole screenplay let alone attempted to write one, but there’s a first for everything. 20,000 words in one month… sounds manageable, right? Guess I’ll find out. Anyone else planning on participating in this challenge?

A book everyone should read. It is at times heart breaking to read what these children are being put through and equally heart breaking to know that to THIS DAY there are still 300,000 child soldiers in the field…
“No outsider could have written this book, and it’s hard to imagine that many insiders could do so with such acute vision, stark language, and tenderness. It is a heart-rending achievement.” —Melissa Fay Greene

I work outside all day. This winter I’ve managed to convince myself I need coffee every day. Since I have no coffee pot outside it’s off to the nearest cafe for a gourmet coffee – at the very least twice a day.
2 medium mocha’s (my drug of choice) usually averages out close to $8.00. Multiply this times 5 and well… I spend at least $40 on coffee a WEEK! I’m going to stop and put an extra $40 into my savings each week for the next month or so to see how things work out. And for now I’ll just have to stick to my cup of coffee first thing in the morning from my own coffee pot.
