Only My Scriptwriting

Ten in Two and a Half Hours

Ten in Two and a Half Hours

It’s not as bad as the above blog title makes it out to be. It is true, I only got ten paragraphs written today for my Part One Scene Outline. But it only took me about fifteen minutes each to write that. And that is very well writing. At least it is for me.

Especially, when I only had about two and a half hours to write them. It hasn’t been a typical Monday for my brother and me. It’s been worse than that. From when I got up this morning, to almost this evening, my brother and I had one thing after another to do. I was lucky I had two and a half hours today. that’s how bad it was today.

Some good news came our way today, though. We found out why my brother’s missing money wasn’t in his old bank account last Friday or over the weekend. It will be in his new bank account this Wednesday. That was a problem for us today. but it was a happy problem, though.

We had other things that needed to be done today. But almost no money meant we had to pawn something else. My brother and I had enough money for today. It was tomorrow that we needed this pawn to accomplish. Unfortunately, it took us most of the afternoon to finish it. As a result, I only got ten paragraphs written today on this project.

Ten paragraphs for my Water Wars scriptwriting project are good. But it should have been a little better. I was hoping I would get at least fifteen paragraphs written today. After all, that would have ended the end of Act Four for this Part. Now I have thirty-five scene paragraphs to write.

There will probably be about forty paragraphs left to write because of the Establishing Shots for this Part. But it could be more if I have a flashback. I don’t think I will the the Tag Act, but I could. It’s still possible I could get the Part One Scene Outline written in the next couple of days. But that’s doubtful after today.

The only way I could get it done by the end of Wednesday is if I get twenty paragraphs written per day. I could get twenty per day. But after the last few days, that isn’t likely to happen. The only other way is if I went Cold Turkey. And I don’t want to do that.

All I can do is keep on writing. Getting as much writing as I can each day. That’s what I will do tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. I’m hoping I will get it done by Wednesday. But it may be Thursday when I get this Part done. It’s also possible it could be Friday I may get it finished. If the rest of this week is like today, it will be Friday.

I don’t think it will be Friday. It will probably be Thursday. That if I can get at least fifteen paragraphs written in the next two days. I’m sure I can do at least fifteen paragraphs for the next couple of days. Of course, I hope it will be about five more than that each day.
