Most of my local crontab entries look something like:

Each time "script" runs, stdout and stderr are written to "script.log".
I usually direct to /tmp/script.log (or some other directory obviously intended to hold files that change on a regular basis) instead, because I'm trying to keep good discipline and not have the executables (which could be; and arguably SHOULD be, in a filesystem mounted read-only) in the same directories as the log files (which obviously can't)
