Only My Scriptwriting

Fifteen Plus Ten Plus One Plus Three Equals Twenty-Nine

Fifteen Plus Ten Plus One
Plus Three Equals Twenty-Nine

There are two very good reasons why I’m writing this blog entry thirty to forty minutes before I usually do it. One reason is the slowness of my laptop. For some reason, it has been running slow while I’m at home. I don’t know why it’s doing that, but it has been lately. Including, today it has been slow in bringing up documents like this one.

The second reason is because of the lack of sleep. On Saturdays, I only get about six hours of sleep before I need to get up and get ready for work. That includes time for me to do this blog entry. By doing it a little bit early, I can try to catch up on my sleep a little bit before I need to start getting ready for work. After all, I only got about five and a half hours of sleep today so far.

I know that I won’t be able to get any more sleep before I go to work at midnight, but even a little bit of snoozing or napping will help me a lot. Can I go on only five and a half hours of sleep? Of course, I can. I have done it for three or four hours. So, I should be able to do it in five and a half hours. It will just be better if it’s six or more hours.

That’s enough of that. Now for some good news. I wrote twenty-nine single paragraphs for my second scriptwriting project, The Final Ritual, earlier today. Twenty-five of them were numeric single paragraphs and four were Establishing Shots. Well, I consider the first one an Establishing Shot too. It may have been toward the end of Act One of this Scene Outline, but it was still an Establishing Shot.

Why do I consider it an Establishing Shot? It’s because it’s showing Marri’s SpaceResidence lifting off of where it’s at on Bianic and heading into Space. That’s why I consider it an Establishing Shot. There is also no dialogue. Another reason why it’s an Establishing Shot. Even though there can be dialogue in an Establishing Shot, there usually isn’t when it comes to my Outlines and Scripts.

I’m not sure without looking it up, but I think that I did thirty single paragraphs last Saturday while at work. I also can’t remember if there were any three-liner single paragraphs aka Establishing Shots or for a Teaser Act or a Tag Act in my Story Outline. Don’t think there were any three-liners of any kind last Saturday, but there could have been.

I don’t know how well I did last Sunday, but I don’t think it was very good. If I remember correctly, it was about thirteen single paragraphs written last Sunday. Hope I’m wrong about that, but I don’t think I am. The thirteen may not be correct, but under fifteen to twenty I am sure was. Hopefully, I can do a whole lot better than that tomorrow at work. Maybe not today better, but a lot better than last Sunday.
