Only My Scriptwriting

Only Forty-one Paragraphs

Only Forty-One Paragraphs

I tried to get forty-four paragraphs written for the Episode Two Scene Outline for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. I think that’s how many paragraphs I got written last Friday night and Saturday morning. Unfortunately, I only got forty-one this week.

That’s about five paragraphs per hour. That’s good for me. I’m usually lucky if I get three or four paragraphs per hour. Out of those forty-one paragraphs, four of them were Establishing Shots. That means I only got thirty-seven numeric paragraphs written at work earlier today.

I finished Act Four of this Scene Outline earlier today and started the Tag Act. Unfortunately, I only got seven numeric paragraphs written for this Scene Outline. That means I only have twenty-eight paragraphs before I finish writing the Episode Two Scene Outline.

I don’t know how long it will take me to finish this Scene Outline. But if it’s anything like what I did earlier today, it should take me about four hours to finish this Scene Outline. I will start working on Episode Three, Floating Weapons, as soon as I finish writing it.

Even if it takes me longer to finish writing Episode Two, Not Hiding in Darkness, than I think it will take, I should still have six to eight hours to start working on Episode Three. I doubt I will get the Teaser Act of Episode Three written tonight and tomorrow morning. But it’s possible.

If I could get twenty-eight paragraphs to end Episode Two and thirty-two paragraphs to start Episode Three that equals sixty paragraphs in a twelve-hour shift or five paragraphs per hour. That’s what I did yesterday and earlier today. So, it is possible I could do it tonight and tomorrow too?

I don’t know if I will be that lucky two days in a row writing five paragraphs per hour. But I hope that I can. Of course, I would like to get more than sixty written. However many paragraphs I end up writing tonight and tomorrow morning, I will get as many of them as I can write.
