Only My Scriptwriting

Back to Five Scenes

Back to Five Scenes

Yes, I should have written more scenes for the first episode of my Water Wars scriptwriting project television series. After all, it was a Saturday yesterday. But I didn’t. I only got five scenes written yesterday on this project. I’m not surprised, though. Five scenes are about average for me whether it’s a weekday or a weekend.

Anything less than five there better be a very good reason for it. That reason is usually where I work or who I work for. Sometimes it’s because of the weather. And every so often it’s because of it being a split shift. If it’s a split shift, that normally means that I don’t feel like writing. A lot of the time it’s because of me. And if it is me, it’s typically because of a lack of sleep or a lack of concentration. Concentration can be a part of work too.

Yesterday it was a very normal Saturday. I thought that it may be more like a Friday since Monday was a holiday. But it wasn’t. It was very slow yesterday at work. One of the slowest that I have seen in quite a while. That used to mean that I was going to get quite a bit of writing done that day. But that hasn’t been what has been happening for a long time now.

Today is Sunday. And that also use to mean that I would get five to ten scenes written. It usually means that it would be closer to ten than five. But lately, if I was lucky if I got five of them written. Whether it’s five to ten or more, I’m going to get as many of them done as I can. I would like it to be ten. After all, that would end Act One of this episode. But I’m not going to count on that until it happens, though.

I think that I may have just figured out why five scenes are my average. That’s because when I was writing my Outlines it would get ten to fifteen or more paragraphs done a day. If I use that same figuration, then I probably still get that many paragraphs written every day with five scenes. How can that be? It’s because each numeric scene has normally three or four paragraphs. That includes the Action Description and dialogue. Add them all together and you get about fifteen to twenty paragraphs written each day aka five scenes.
