Only My Scriptwriting

Hopefully, Only One More Day

Hopefully, Only One More Day

Unfortunately, I didn’t do too well earlier today at work when it comes to my second scriptwriting project, The Final Ritual. I only got about seventy single sentences written for my Scene Outline. That averaged only around twelve per hour. About five minutes per sentence. That’s not very good at all. If not for getting another one hundred and eighty after I got home from work, I would really be in trouble.

I may not have gotten too much sleep today, but I got down to one hundred and twenty-five more single sentences to finish off this Scene Outline. Unfortunately, I don’t know why I only got around seventy single sentences written earlier today at work. True, I know I had some trouble writing some of the sentences, but I didn’t think it was that bad or time-consuming. I guess I was wrong about that too.

Why did I only get seventy single sentences written earlier today at work? I’m not sure, but I think it’s because of the second-word verbs. Like not wanting to repeat the same word at the beginning of a sentence or paragraph, I also don’t like to do that with verbs. I like to have at least two sentences before I use them again. Another bad habit I’m trying to overcome.

When it comes to the first word or verb, I know that I need to stop doing that. I have done it a few times with my first word, and I think I have with some of my verbs, but not too often with verbs. If it’s not a verb, then I don’t have any problem with them. It’s only the verbs I have trouble with.

I’m trying to stop doing that, but I haven’t been able to do that yet. I know I need to stop doing it, but it’s very hard for me to be like everyone else. Eventually, I probably will be more like everyone else. Whether it’s scriptwriting, short stories, poems, etc., I know that I need to be more like everyone else.

I know that I have a very big problem with my writing because I’m so different from everyone else. True, I can understand it with my Science Faction, I mean Science Fiction, but even that needs to be changed to be more like everyone else. I’m getting better at not using ‘ands’ and ‘buts’ to start a sentence or paragraph, and I am with me starting sentences, but not for my verbs yet.

Only one hundred and twenty-five single sentences are left to end this Scene Outline. Will I be able to get them written at work tomorrow morning? I hope that I can. If I can’t, I will finish it after I get home from work tomorrow. One way or another, I will be starting my single-paragraph Outlines this Saturday.
