Script Frenzy is upon us once again, and this year i've decided... not to participate.
this is due to a whole wodge of stuff, mainly me being too busy, with too many unfinished projects on my hands, not enough confidence in my ability to write a decent screenplay, and only half an idea about what i'd write about anyway.
So instead of 100 pages of rubbish screenplay, I've decided to devote April to reading books.
I used to read loads. In fact, i suppose i still read quite a bit, but when i've got other stuff going on in my life, reading seems to be the thing that gets pushed out. Which is not only a shame, but probably quite bad for me - no wonder my head's so stuffy and congested when i've not put anything new into it for so long.
So last week i went through my hefty to-read pile, reaquainted myself with all the forgotten gems i'd bought and then ignored, and now i plan to go thorugh as many of them as possible in April. I'm aiming for 15 by May 1st, which feels like a nice, attainable total.
And the best thing? I feel better already. Reading is one of my top five things in the world ever, and i feel really dumb for neglecting it so often.
