December the first – Going Back to What I Do Best

Going Back to What I Do Best

I accomplished what I wanted to at work yesterday. That was to set up the genre Prompts for the last month of The Daily One Scene contest. That only took a few hours to do. The rest of the time I spent doing something I haven’t been doing for the last couple of months, and that’s my scriptwriting.

True I have been keeping up with my two contests, The Monthly Script Writing Contest, and The Daily One Scene Contest, but I haven’t my personal scriptwriting. I’ve been concentrating on my novels for this year. First, the October NaNoWriMo Prep challenge and then the NaNoWriMo Challenge in November. Since they are both finished for this year, I can go back to my personal scriptwriting.

Didn’t get too much of it done, though. I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to start with first. Still, haven’t so I worked a little bit on all five of them. It’s just the planning stages right now. I’m a planner, and a big believer in Outlines and Treatments. I do that with eight Acts plus one or two Teaser and Tag Acts. Each of the eight Acts is ten minutes long. Which means there are twenty scenes per act. The Teasers and Tags are five minutes long aka ten scenes. That’s for movies for mysteries, mild adventures, dramas, etc. Action movies are double that.

What am I going to do today and tomorrow aka this weekend? I was going to work on my Writing a Television Serie Challenge, but I have decided to postpone it until the middle of next year. The main reason isn’t that The Writing a Movie Challenge only had one participate. It’s because of the last two months too. I haven’t had time to do a six-month contest. It takes time to do it, and that’s something I haven’t had the last couple of months. Besides, I’m thinking about doing only one a year, and alternating them, instead of both in one year like I originally planned to do.

Instead, I’m going to continue what I started doing yesterday. I’m going to sleep on which one of going to start with. I was working on Treasure Finders before, and I might still start with that one, but there was something wrong with it. So, I was thinking about working on one of the other four when the novel challenges came up. What I think was wrong with it, I think that I have figured out. That’s probably the one I will continue to work on this weekend.
