Incredibly, Still More Explanations

Yep. More explanatory overhead. If you are in my Creative Writing class, you do not need to read this. You already know it. There's no need to waste your time.

But if you're not, you may well be wondering (if you know something about Script Frenzy) what I am doing uploading Script Frenzy-related posts in May when the Script Frenzy month is April... The answer is that due to various logistical reasons, I was still learning the basics in mid-April. Then I began, very slowly, to write, while still not finished with the preparations. I began, roughly, on April 16th and wrote for a week and a half... that gave me 12 pages (I revised way too much--oops). Meanwhile, preparations were still ongoing, and I completed them contemporaneously. Then I was away from the computer for almost one full week and could do nothing. And that brings us up to today, when I'm trying to finish the last preparatory assignments to finally concentrate all my writing on the script.

Interesting deadline calculations approach. I already missed the official April 30th deadline. Our class deadline is now May 31st. But I started two weeks early (or late, depending on your frame of reference) and want to stick to the goal of one month of writing. As a result, depending on whether or not you count the lost week as elapsed writing time, my self-imposed deadline would be either the 15th or the 20th of May, respectively. My guess is, however, that I will end up meeting only the May 31st deadline, as I write too slowly and revise too much...
