If you need a push to get something done, SF is a good thing...but it could so easily end up being a mistake. You rush and stumble and end up churning out a piece of crap that hurts your career.
I need a Script Frenzy that lasts three months. One month is too short to do the research, the structure, the character outline, the plot outline, putting Post Its on my walls AND teaching 6 periods...three months and coffee and cigarettes, whoops, cigars!
I am working on a thriller about a girl in love with a painting. I've been fooling around with it for about a year. I've got 4 scenes written and I'm almost done polishing the outline.

If I got serious, I think I could be done with it AND get my TV rewrite done by...
June 30th.
So, Scott Myers, YOU are my witness. I'll have a solid draft of 'Lydia' by June 30th. If I don't...!
Scott, what do you suggest as the stakes? I already owe you a lobster.

Hmm, the stakes. That's a good one. Per the whole humiliation angle, it should be something about you, not me. So what would embarrass you no end? Inquiring minds want to know!

uh...two lobsters?
Actually, I have two ideas:
1. The loser has to act out the winner's favorite scene from a classic movie (no nudity) on Youtube
or
(oh, this isn't a bet...is it?)
2. If I don't complete it, I'll donate $50 to the charity of your choice.

Of course, who would be able to read the script and judge that it is really 'done'? Hmmm. Who would be willing to do something so noble?

Ah, VC, you trickster you! All a ploy to get me to read your script! Tell you what. Email me (scottdistllery@gmail.com) a 1-paragraph description of the plot to Lydia. And we'll see...

Wow! Thanks for the offer. The address isn't working (I tried twice). Perhaps you could email me at jeffpulice at gmail dot com?
