Only My Scriptwriting

A Slight Change for the Better

A Slight Change for the Better

No, I’m not starting all over again. Not even close to something like that. I like the way my Act Breakdowns and Outlines look now. So, what is the slight change this blog title is referring to? It’s not the overall Water Wars scriptwriting project. Just one tiny little bit of it. What am I trying to write about? It’s the title of Episode Four of this television series.

Before this episode title was ‘About Thirty Sunrises Ago.’ Now it’s ‘Probable Death.’ I like this new title better. It describes what this episode is about. The original one does too, but this one is a whole lot better. At least I think it is. It’s also a better fit for Hoolle since this episode features her.

That’s enough of that. Now for some very good news. It only took me about four and a half hours to finish the single sentences for this episode to finish it. That’s two hundred and sixteen single sentences in around four and a half hours. I think that’s very good. Especially, since I did them at work. True, it is a Sunday, but it’s still very good writing.

It took me about an hour to finish my single sentences for Episode Four, now Probable Death, of my Story Outline for this project. That means it took me about three and a half hours to write the one hundred and eighty single sentences for my Scene Outline. What does that mean for this project? It means I had about five and a half hours to start working on my single paragraphs.

Unfortunately, I only got twenty-three single paragraphs written for Part One of the Movie Introduction for this project, and I’m not very happy about the last five. The Teaser Act I think is very good, and I think Act One is also good. It’s the first five for Act Two that I’m not so sure about. I may be starting these single paragraphs from scratch next Thursday morning.

Why may I be doing that? The first eighteen single paragraphs weren’t that hard to write. It was their total number as to the reason I didn’t get more written. The first nine were each three lines long. As for Act One, there were six single paragraphs for these paragraphs, they were four lines long, and twelve were five lines long. Combine them and I get twenty-three.

Will I rewrite Act Two? What about the Teaser Act and Act One? I like them. Will I rewrite them too? I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet. I have the next three days aka my days off from work to think about it. Probably will rewrite Act Two. I’m just not sure about the Teaser Act and Act One. If I continue working on this project at all next week.

It's that time of the month when I may need to work on the short stories that I’m trying to write this month at work. It all depends on if I can get my WDC Short Story finished in the next three days or not. If I can’t, then I will be writing them at work. Then again, if I do, I still may be writing my second Short Story for this month at work too. After all, I only have two more weeks to finish them.
