A blog devoted just to my scriptwriting. That’s all I’m going to blogging about here. |
About What I Expected It to Be Yesterday My personal goal with these scriptwriting projects is always the same. I want to get as many paragraphs written as I can each day. Sure, I got a specific number of them that I want to get done. And that number depends on whether I’m working on an Outline, Treatment, or a script. True, paragraphs don’t really count in scripts because they are written differently. But they are still the same because they are part of a daily personal goal. At least they are with me. Yesterday, my personal goal was to get ten scene paragraphs written at work. I wanted to do fifteen to twenty. But my goal was ten. Which it usually is. After all, no matter how bad it gets at work I can normally do about ten of them. Unfortunately, I didn’t get ten written yesterday. I only got fifteen of them done plus two Establishing Shots. And it took me almost my whole shift just to do them. What is the usual reason why I don’t get more writing done? That’s right. It’s work. And in a lot of ways, it was work yesterday too. Not the work itself, though. that was a normal Saturday. It wasn’t very busy at all there. I had plenty of time to work on my writing. But I had to do most of it with the sun trying to blind me. That’s why I wrote above that it was sort of work’s fault. For almost the first six hours of my shift, the sun was my problem. But it wasn’t really a problem with my writing, though. It did slow me down a little bit. Only it wasn’t too bad. I did average about two paragraphs an hour during that time. That may not mean very much to most. And in a lot of ways, it isn’t with me either. But considering where I work, it is a lot of writing. The sun trying to blind me was a big problem yesterday for me. But I expected it. And I worked around it like I have been forced to do for the last six or more months. So, I’m kind of used to it. Especially, if it says so on my cell phone. But whether it does that or not, I’m still going to consider it as what is going to happen that day. And it’s only going to get worse before I might get a little bit better. After all, summer is coming up. So, I’m going to have to deal with it then anyway. I’m not sure what the weather is supposed to be today without looking it up. But I’m not going to do that anymore because it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s accurate or not, I’m going to treat it as if it is sunny because it probably will be. It may not be completely sunny. But there most likely will be the sun. Will it affect my writing? It might. But I don’t think that it will. True, it may slow me down a little. It won’t slow me down that much, though. I still should be able to get at least ten paragraphs written. And it will probably be a little to a lot more than that. After all, today is Sunday.
