Only My Scriptwriting

Fifteen in About Five Hours

Fifteen in About Five Hours

Fifteen paragraphs in about four hours doesn’t sound like it’s a lot of paragraphs that I got written today, but it’s better than it looks. After all, that averages about four paragraphs every hour, aka about fifteen minutes for each paragraph. That’s not too bad, especially when it comes to me.

I know that I wrote five hours in my blog title. That’s because it took me about an hour to Grammarly update my three-sentence documents for my ‘Skinless’ scriptwriting project. Unfortunately, that took me about an hour to update. As a result, I only had about four hours to work on my paragraph Story Outline for this project.

There are seven paragraphs for each Act of my Story Outline. That means that I got the paragraphs for the Teaser Act One, the Act One, and the first paragraph of Act Two written during this four-hour time period. Of course, I would have like it to be more, but fifteen paragraphs is good.

At least that’s good writing for me. After all, it has been a several months since I last worked on this scriptwriting project, and the first time that I have written the paragraph Story Outline for it. I knew what I wanted to write, but I sometimes didn’t know how to write it. That took a little bit of extra time to figure out.

So, it was more like ten minutes for each paragraph, each hour, today. That meant that it took me about five minutes for each paragraph to figure out how I was going to write that paragraph. Sometimes that was easy to do, and sometimes it wasn’t so easy to accomplish.

Unfortunately, tomorrow may be the same number of paragraphs written as it was today. Of course, I won’t have the sentences for my Act Breakdown, my Story Outline, and my Scene Outline to update with Grammarly, but I will only have about four to five hours to work on this scriptwriting project. Hopefully, I will have about six or seven hours to work on this scriptwriting project.

If I can continue getting about four to five or six paragraphs written every hour tomorrow, I will be happy. I don’t know about Thursday and Friday yet. As far as I know, my brother and I don’t have too much that we need to do on Thursday and Friday of this week.

I’m sure that my brother and I have a few things that we need to accomplish on both Thursday and Friday of this week. I just hope that it doesn’t take us too long to finish doing them. After all, the more time I have to work on this paragraph Story Outline, the more paragraphs I will get done with it. It also means how much longer it will take before I finish writing it.

I know that I will be working on this scriptwriting project this weekend when I return to work for my two twelve-hour shifts this weekend. Of course, I would like to start working on my next movie, ‘The Lives of Billia and Helleni,’ but it’s unlikely that I will get it started this weekend.
