Only My Scriptwriting

Barely Teaser Act One

Barely Teaser Act One

All I needed was eighteen single paragraphs to end Teaser Act One of my Scene Outline for my second scriptwriting project, The Final Ritual. Unfortunately, I barely got that many written earlier today at work. I should have been able to get a few more written. Especially since the next six would have been four Establishing Shots. Only I didn’t even get that many.

Eighteen single paragraphs may be very, very good for a weekday, but it isn’t as much as it is for a weekend. I don’t expect them all to be like yesterday with thirty-six single paragraphs, only one-third of them are three-liner paragraphs, but they should have been a lot more than I got written. Why did I only get eighteen single paragraphs written earlier today at work?

Unfortunately, I’m to blame for not getting more writing done at work earlier today. It was a lack of concentration and a lack of sleep that is to blame for it. I haven’t been sleeping too well lately. Been lucky to get about five hours of sleep per day, and I’m not even sure I got that much yesterday. Five may not be too bad once in a while, but not several days straight.

I don’t know if it was because of the lack of sleep or not, but I also had a very hard time concentrating on my writing too early today at work. Whether it was because of a lack of sleep or not, I had a very big problem concentrating earlier today at work. If it wasn’t the lack of sleep, then what was it? I think it was mostly a lack of sleep, but that may not be the only reason.

Usually, I come home from work at about twelve-thirty, and I can stay up. Only I couldn’t do that today because of a lack of sleep. If I had done that, I would be having more trouble writing this blog today than I am doing. That’s right. I’m having a lot of trouble writing this blog entry. I don’t think it will be a problem for me to post it today, but it could be.

For the next three days aka my days off from work, I’m going to be working on my only Short Story for this month. Hopefully, I can get it finished within these three days. If I can do that, then maybe I can return to my scriptwriting, but I’m not going to count on that until it happens. After all, it depends on how much time I have to write.

The big question is can I get this Short Story done by the end of these three days off from work? I think that I can. Mondays are usually too busy for me to work on my writing. My brother and I have too much to do on Mondays. Tuesdays can be quite busy too most of the time, but Wednesdays normally aren’t.

If I can’t get this Short Story finished in the next three days, I will need to do it at work for a day or two. After all, the end of the month is only a few days away. True, I have another week to finish it this month, but I don’t want to do that if I don’t want to do it, and I don’t. I want to get it done by the end of this month if I can do it, and I think that I can.
