Not Another One

24 March 2010 | Filed Under Script Frenzy 


The Classic Disney Princesses

“Oh for crying out loud,” you say. “Not another one.”

Yes, I have no willpower. Or do I have too much?

If you haven’t heard, NaNoWriMo has a sister writing challenge, Script Frenzy, in April. You have 30 days to write 100 pages of script, be they stage play, screenplay, tv show, what have you.

You can see where I’m going with this, can’t you?

Yes, I shall be participating. Do I expect to win? Heck no. Have I lost my sanity? Perhaps. But one of my good friends has been having trouble writing lately, and likes a bit of competition to get inspired. So for his sake, I shall be writing with him.

What does this have to do with the Disney princesses? Glad you asked! Here’s my stage play idea:

Too Many Princesses: All of the fairy tales princesses are in love…with the same man.

I’m thinking cat fights and hilarity ensue.

If you are also participating in “Screnzy,” be my writing buddy! My name on the forums is Ms.Pennington. I look forward to meeting / writing with you!

    That challenge sounds fun, but I think you need to add another bullet point to your “How to Procrastinate” list =D. Are you going to include the new Princess and the Frog princess?

    haha but then it’d be 11 Ways, and throw off my whole scheme! It won’t have the Disney princesses per se, but it will have their semi-original versions, plus the Princess and the Frog and the Princess and the Pea and Rapunzel and whoever else.

    Thaaaaaaaaaaanks, Jenn. This should be good, I hope. Only a few more days to get an idea, though.

    You’re quite welcome! I’m so excited about it! Don’t worry, you’ll come up with something.

    Sounds like a great script idea! Can’t wait to hear how it goes…. :)
