Script Frenzy

So, this year's Script Frenzy was a bust. I didn't finish 100 pages of the script in April. Oh, well I'll finish it eventually.

I'm planning on adapting Carols of Christmas for next year's script. I think that'll be easier than writing a script in a month completely from scratch.

Carols of Christmas Playlist, part 3

Just in case you're wondering, here's the list of songs I used as chapter intros:
  1. "Intro" from the Sleepy Hollow soundtrack by Danny Elfman (though it's not actually stated in the story; I just added this to my Spotify playlist to fill the Chapter 1 space because it's cool and it seems to set the mood for the intro chapter)
  2. "Epiphany" by Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (with a few spoken lines by Jamie Campbell Bower and Helena Bonham Carter early in the song, though not in the section I used)
  3. "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor
  4. "Mighty Fine Blues" by Eels (featured in the Holes soundtrack)
  5. "Laughing With" by Regina Spektor
  6. "Endless Night" by Jason Raize in Disney's The Lion King on Broadway (with the musical's ensemble later in the song)

  9. "Folding Chair" by Regina Spektor
  10. "Ruby Tuesday" by The Corrs, featuring Ron Wood
  11. "Like Whoa" by Aly & AJ (or 78violet)
  12. "The Call" by Regina Spektor (featured in the 2008 The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian soundtrack)

  14. "Only Time" by Enya
  15. "Us" by Regina Spektor (featured in the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack)

A note on "Carols of Christmas"

I'm almost done with Chapter 23. I think there are a few loose ends I want to tie up before I post it, but it could work the way it is now. I'm still deciding.

Script Frenzy update

I have 14 pages done, if you can't really see what my widget says.

So, I did it...

I finally wrote the story I've been considering for a long time... It's the one that's an epilogue to the Psycho series, where Norman finds a note from Maureen in the Bates Motel after burning down his old house.
Check it out on my page now! It's called "Almost."
