Only My Scriptwriting

A Slight Change Today

A Slight Change Today

No, I haven’t changed my mind about either my Water Wars scriptwriting project or The Final Ritual scriptwriting project. This blog entry is about my WDC Short Story for this month. And it’s not as bad as it reads. I also haven’t changed my mind about it.

What this blog title means is that I have changed my mind about my WDC Short Story slightly. Not the story itself or how I’m writing it. But I started the first two sections of it. What do I mean by that? It means that I have changed my mind about how I’m going to write it.

Believe it or not, I actually had some time to work on my WDC Short Story for this month. I didn’t have a whole lot of time to do it because of what my brother and I had to do today. But I had enough time to write one or two more parts of it. Only I didn’t do that.

While re-reading the first two sections, I didn’t like how it was going. I don’t know what it was. But something was off. After reading it a couple of more times, I think I know what it was. What does that mean? It means that I’m going to re-write these two parts again.

So, in a way, I’m starting it from scratch. Why am I doing this? It’s because I want this to be the best Short Story that I can make it. Even though I know I’m not going to win this contest either. And I don’t think that it is right now. How am I going to make it better?

By breaking these sections down even more into single sentences. My problem has been that I know what I want to write. But I’m not sure how to do it. By breaking these parts into single sentences, I believe that will make it easier for me to write this Short Story.

Why am I having so much trouble writing this Short Story? I believe that there are two reasons why. One is that it’s sort of a biography of the last two weeks of May when my brother and I moved to our new house. The second reason is because of how I want to start this Short Story two.

The reason I consider this sort of a biography is because it’s kind of a true story. And the storyline is true. But how I am writing it may not be exactly linear true. What I mean by this is that what happened has happened. I’m just not sure how it has happened in chronological order.

I try to start all of my short stories with a shocker, suspense, action, mystery, etc. What I’m writing is that I like to hook the reader from the very beginning of my short stories. Normally, that isn’t too much of a problem for me to do. But this time it has been a very big one.
