Only My Scriptwriting

Thirteen Plus Four Equals Seventeen

Thirteen Plus Four Equals Seventeen

Only wrote thirteen single paragraph scenes for Part One of my movie introduction for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. The other four were Establishing Shots. They are also scenes. But the thirteen for my Scene Outline are what counts the most.

I probably could have done two more to make it fifteen. But with only an hour left on my shift, I wasn’t sure if I could get them both written. Maybe one of them. But not two of them. And I’m not even sure about one of them. It was better to stop with thirteen than to try to get one or two more.

Why didn’t get more written yesterday at work? Is it because of how busy it was there? That is part of the reason why I didn’t get any more written. But the main reason is me. I was so worried about who I work for that I only got about three hours of sleep.

That isn’t all, though. I think that I may be fighting a cold too. Because I felt weak and tired all day yesterday. No, I don’t think that it’s Covid 19. I think it’s just an old fashion cold. Probably came about because of the lack of sleep last night.

That’s why this blog entry is a little bit earlier than it normally is. I need to try to catch up on my sleep. Probably won’t be able to do that in one night. But anything will help. I just hope that I can get some sleep tonight. If I can, there is a very good chance that I will kick this cold before it gets out of control.

Why didn’t I just call in sick yesterday? There are three reasons why I didn’t do it. One is that I can’t afford to take a day off physically or financially. Another reason is that I probably couldn’t have done it anyway. Everyone else can do it. But not me. The third reason is that after what happened last Sunday, they could have used that to fire me. Saying that I’m retaliating because of last Sunday.

It would have been a big mistake if they had of fired me. But why take the chance. It’s better than I go to work. Overall, it wasn’t too bad. True, it was busy there. But it just slowed me down a little bit. Not only with my writing, but with work too.

At first, I didn’t think that I would get so many single paragraphs written yesterday because of how I felt. But I did. I hope that I can do the same thing today. Only a little better. A lot of that depends on work. But it also depends on how I feel.
