Writer's block, an owner's guide: The three day novel, the one month screenplay

I’m clearing up a couple of things from the to-do list today (and I know that to-do lists are an outdated notion, but setting up a more modern system is something that’s still on my to-do list):

The good people over at NaNoWriMo now bring us Script Frenzy. Write a screenplay in a month. It starts Friday. Go for it! (you’re on your own – under union rules I have to be all professional and serious and, you know, tormented about my next screenplay).

And the time gets shorter and shorter. Three day novels, already. I’ve mentioned the ABD Survival Guide before, and now I want to tell you that it recently featured Victoria McGovern’s advice on 3 day novels, 2 week dissertations and more. Ben doesn’t archive his newsletters immediately and at the time of my writing this, the advice is not available on the website. It probably will be in a week or two. Keep looking.

And your response?
