Only My Scriptwriting

Sixteen and Four

sixteen and Four

I only had about six and a half hours late yesterday and overnight early this morning. Why did I only have six and a half hours to work on my Water Wars scriptwriting project on my eight-hour shift yesterday and overnight early this morning? It’s because I couldn’t get into the Guard Shack for almost an hour and the last thirty minutes this morning.

Within those six and a half hours, I wrote twenty paragraphs for the Part One Scene Outline. That averages about three paragraphs every hour. That’s not too bad writing. At least, it’s not for me. Of course, I would prefer it to be four every hour, but the way I have been feeling lately, I was lucky it wasn’t only two.

I needed two paragraphs to end Act One and the first fourteen for Act Two. Add that to the four Establishing Shots, and that equals twenty. Hopefully, I can get about double that later this evening and overnight tomorrow morning. I may get that many. After all, later this evening and overnight tomorrow morning is a twelve-hour shift at work.

Of course, I would like to get quite a bit more paragraphs written later this evening and overnight tomorrow morning, but I won’t count on that happening until it does. I would like it to average about four paragraphs every hour, but I may be lucky if it’s three to four paragraphs every hour. That’s how many I need to get to double my Friday shift.
