Yup, we did the script frenzy thing in June:

Script Frenzy aka National Script Writing Month
http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62018
...I started 2 scripts, still working on 'em.

Come to think of it, some of us posted our script openings in SYW Screenwriting:
Script Frenzy - Post exerpts here
http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69722

In November last year we ran an unofficial write-a-script challenge in parallel with NaNoWriMo:
NaScriWriMo?!? Anybody up for it?
http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43132
...I started and finished a script, yay me.

Me too. I loved Script Frenzy. Maybe if I finish my NaNovel early, I'll try to fit in a script, too. :)

Count me in! Any word on whether we're going to do this or not?

Yeah, me in too, I'm tinkering with a few ideas/titles and intend to bang out at least one rough draft script this November, in parallel with NaNoWriMo but posting here, not there.

Would love to participate, but I'll be busy again, as I was in June.
I should have some time during the last two weeks of November though, so I may participate anyway, if I have some energy left. It's highly doubtful that I'll be able to finish a script in that time, but even if I only get the first act done, it'll be more than if I don't participate.

Yes, I did it (in my case, I did a stage play). I found it a good way to focus and stay motivated, and I got a reasonably good 3-act out of it, which I then spent a month buffing and polishing and am now circulating looking for someone who'll want to produce it.

Can't do it this year myself. I'm already 180 pages into a novel and I'm not stopping until it's all out on paper. My original deadline was end of October but with the way things tend to fall apart in my life when I set personal goals, it looks like it my be end of November before it gets done.
