readingredheadI'm annoyed with Script Frenzy right now, because I thought it would be easy and it most emphatically isn't. I thought I could get through it without planning and I most emphatically can't. I thought that writing a 20k play would be like writing a third of a 60k novel and it most emphatically isn't. In short, I was cocky going in, and now I'm paying for it.
It doesn't help that I haven't been writing on a good schedule like I always make myself do for NaNo. It doesn't help that there are so many things getting ready to distract me. I'm usually always on top of these things, but not any more. It's not like I'm a lot of words behind, but I keep floundering without a plot, and that's no good. I really like the way my play's started out, but everything afterward seems stupid and contrived. At least with prose I find some gems within the excrement- -I'm not sure that'll happen for this. I keep wishing desperately that this was a novel instead of a play, so that I could do it right.
I'm not going to let myself not win this, because that's not the sort of person I am...but I'm not so sure that I'll be participating next year...
