Yes, I finished the first-ever Script Frenzy.
I didn't even notice at first. I hit ctrl+w and ignored hte word count. Then it kicked in. Did that say 20000? I hit ctrl+w again. Sure enough, it said 20019 words. I finished Script Frenzy. And even though my script needs A LOT of work, my script is finished.
And because I find it amusing, have a scrambled excerpt of my script. Don't worry. I still have the original.

Erm, the single a's for the character name is Miranda. I forgot to send that as AAAAAAA. Ah well. Anyone want to figure out which scene this is?
(I really need to edit those chunks of description. They're good chunks of description, but they're... chunks. They need to be slimmer. More paragraphs are good in the screenplay case, strangely enough.)
