Darlings! I’m back from Majorca. It was absolutely divine, and I’m now rested, restored, reinvigorated, and ready for a new challenge.
Oh, yes, Ethelie was still a bit frowny when I got back, but luckily I had a plate of Boggins’s Ma’s Biscuits to give her as a peace offering, and we have now resolved our differences. After all, we’re both deeply committed to the Directorate’s goal of helping writers write — does it matter if that lofty goal is achieved via punishment or via delicious, delicious pie?
No, it does not!
Our April Challenge:
How scrumptious is it that just when I was ready for a new challenge, just when Ethelie and I reunited in our desire to challenge you, that Script Frenzy came to our attention? Go on, click the link, I’ll wait, albeit impatiently.
Back? Marvelous! So now you know that Script Frenzy gives you 30 days (the entire month of April!) to write a script. 100 page of play, screenplay, or graphic novel. Why, that’s only a bit over three pages a day! Shall we? Shall we? Oh, please say yes! I’m giddy at the prospect, dancing about and clapping my hands like a schoolgirl!
Won’t you join us? I dare you!
But what will I write about?
Oh, bother. I have no idea. So I’ve decided to double my challenge, and write based upon your suggestions. Think you can stump me? Just try. I wrote an epic poem about President James Polk, after all! Leave your dares in the comments!
And then start your own script, darlings. Let’s do it Tell me about your project!



your main character has a thing for cherry chocolate chip cookies.
Lida! You should write a script where a group of people travel together on a journey, a la Canterbury and Chaucer.
