Only My Scriptwriting

Another Record Maybe

Another Record Maybe

I think I may have written another record earlier today at work. I’m not sure, but if I remember correctly about a week or so ago, I think I got three hundred and fifteen single sentences written in one day. If that is correct, then I do have a new record. After all, earlier today I got three hundred and twenty-four single sentences written for my Water Wars scriptwriting project.

Not only did I get all of Episode Three, Floating Weapons, done, but I also got the setup for Episode Four, About Thirty Sunrises Ago, written too. That’s not all though. I also did all of the Act Breakdown and the Teaser Act and Act One of my Story Outline written too. That is a total of two seventy single sentences for Episode Three, thirty-six for the Act Breakdown for Episode Four, and eighteen for the Teaser Act and Act One of my Story Outline for a total of three hundred and twenty-four if my addition is correct.

That only leaves me thirty-six single sentences to finish my Story Outline for Episode Four, and one hundred and eighty that will finish my Scene Outline for a total of two hundred and sixteen single sentences to finish Phase One of this project. Phase Two is the single paragraphs for my Story Outlines and my Scene Outlines and Phase Three are the scripts themselves.

I will get started with Phase Two tomorrow. I’m just not sure when that will happen. It all depends on how soon it takes me to finish writing the single sentences. If I’m lucky, I will get the single sentences done in about five hours. Probably won’t be quite that soon, though. It will probably take six or seven hours to finish it. However long it takes me, as soon as I do finish my single sentences, I will start working on my single paragraphs.

So, about six to eight hours into my shift tomorrow, I should be ready to start working on my single paragraphs for these Episodes. The sooner I start writing them, the more I will be able to get written tomorrow. If it’s six, that’s half of my shift. That means I have about five hours of writing time to start working on these paragraphs. I’m not sure how many paragraphs that will end up being, but it should be about twenty to twenty-five or more.

Of course, if it’s seven or eight hours before I can start working on these paragraphs, then those numbers are reduced. Overall, it doesn’t matter when I will be starting my single paragraphs, I should be able to get ten to twenty of them written tomorrow. Come to think about it, I may be able to get about twenty-seven to thirty of them written no matter how much time I have left to do them. After all, the first nine are my Teaser Act for Part One of my Movie Introduction, and they are all only three lines long each.
