Only My Scriptwriting

Slightly Better Than Fifteen

Slightyly Better Than Fifteen

This should have been posted yesterday about this time. But something went wrong. And I didn't see it until I started to post my blog entry for today that I posted a few minutes ago. I remember correcting the Grammarly mistakes I made. so, I know it should have been posted. But for some reason it was, until now.

I’m almost back to the average of fifteen single paragraphs that I got written for Part Two of my single-paragraph Story Outline for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. It wasn’t much better than fifteen. But sixteen is slightly better than fifteen.

Today wasn’t too bad for my brother and me. But it wasn’t all that well. We had a few things that we needed to get done today. It should have taken us about an hour to do. But it took us almost two hours to finish doing them. As a result, I only got sixteen single paragraphs written today on this project.

Why did it take us so long to finish what we needed to get done today? It was the weather. With temperatures near a hundred degrees and the Feel Like about ten degrees more it slowed us down. When the weather gets like this, it’s hard for me to breathe because I have asthma too.

The weather also weakens me. I feel weak and tired after being out in the heat too long. That’s another reason why I didn’t get more writing done today. It was hard for me to concentrate on my writing. I still could do it. But it took me about twice as long as it should have to get it done. If not for the weather, I would have gotten more written.

I don’t know if today was any kind of a record. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. If it wasn’t, it must have been a close second or third. All I know is that I don’t function as well during the summer. Especially, when the weather gets too high or too low for the winter months.

For the last century, my asthma has gotten worse. It’s hard for me to breathe almost every day. It gets worse during the summer. But it’s almost as bad during the rest of the year. I can breathe fairly well during the rest of the year. But sometimes it’s hard to do during the summer. It’s almost as bad as my gout and Cerebral Palsy.

My gout and Cerebral Palsy can be extremely bad sometimes. But it comes and goes, especially my Cerebral Palsy. With my asthma, it almost constantly happens. I think my health has a lot to do with my writing. But there’s nothing I can do about it. I can’t afford to go see a doctor.

I can’t afford any medication a doctor prescribes for me either. Besides, I don’t do drugs, not even prescription drugs. The closest thing I come to is taking Aleve. And I only do that if I’m in extreme pain. I don’t even like to take Aleve unless I have to do it. It usually helps me. But sometimes it doesn’t.

With only fourteen single paragraphs left before I end Part Two of these single-paragraph Story Outlines, I should get them done tomorrow. I'm writing because of the weather again tomorrow. It’s supposed to be almost as bad as it was today. Hopefully, it won’t be too bad.
