Only My Scriptwriting

Missing Another Blogging Day

Missing Another Blogging Day

Yes, I know this is my second blog entry for today. That’s because my laptop was acting up yesterday just before the end of the day. As a result, I didn’t get my blog entry entered until a little after midnight WDC time. So far, it seems to be working today. I’m not surprised about that, though. I have been working on my Water Wars scriptwriting project today.

At least I have been working on this project for several hours today. First, I had to update my Story Outlines. Both the single paragraphs and the single sentences. Why did they need to be updated. Because of the new lineup for my six main characters in this Movie Introduction and this television series. The stories are the same. It’s the order that they will be appearing in these Outlines that are different.

Once I got the updating finished, I started transcribing my handwriting to my laptop. Unfortunately, I only got about a hundred and ten single sentences transcribed today. Why didn’t I get more transcribed? There are two reasons for this happening. One is what my brother and I had to do today, and the other one is what I had to do with these sentences. I had to do a lot of rewriting to keep them down to one line each.

The single sentences are still the same. It’s just how I worded them that is a little bit different for a whole lot of them. I barely got into Act One of the single sentences for my Scene Outline today. That means I have almost one hundred and sixty single sentences to transcribe tomorrow before I can get to the single paragraphs for this project.

That’s what I really want to get accomplished on my three days off from work. To see if my handwriting matches up with what I transcribe to my laptop. I have mentioned this is previous blog entries, and I will probably to it a lot more. I’ve got a specific pattern I use for my Outlines, and I need to see if what I have handwritten fits into those patterns. If not, do I need to add more words to each paragraph for delete some.

Just before I started writing this blog entry, I checked WDC. The new prompt for this month has been posted for the WDC Short Story, and I was right. This month is ‘What a Character.’ I haven’t read this post yet. So, I don’t know what this Short Story will be about yet. I’ll do that after I post this blog entry. What does that mean for my transcribing?

It means that I will continue working on it tomorrow. As for Wednesday, I haven’t decided what I’m going to do. I may continue working on my transcribing or I may start working on my WDC Short story for this month. I’m not sure which way I will go. It could be either way. A lot depends on how much I get done with my transcribing. If I can get into the single paragraphs, I may start the WDC Short Story Wednesday.
