Only My Scriptwriting

Still Messing with Me

Still Messing with Me

OneDrive, aka The Cloud, is also messing with me today. When I got to work, I tried to bring up my documents for Episode One, but I had a lot of trouble doing this. First, it was the sentence Scene Outline. Then, I had problems with the sentence, the Act Breakdown and the Story Outline.

Every time I thought that I could start writing my sentences for Episode One, something happened. All three of these documents kept freezing. I couldn’t do anything but force my laptop to turn off. It took me several tries, but I finally got them to stop freezing.

Unfortunately, it took me almost an hour before I could start writing these sentences. Which means I only had about ten hours to finish writing these sentences for my Episode One Act Breakdown, Story Outline, and Scene Outline. That equals two hundred at twenty-eight sentences in about ten hours, or about twenty-two sentences every hour.

I thought that I would make it at first. I even thought I could start Episode Two, “Not Hiding in Darkness.” After all, I finished writing the Act Breakdown and the Story Outline in about two hours. That left about seven hours to finish writing the one hundred and fifty sentences for my Scene Outline. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way.

At least, I didn’t think that I would. After all, when I took my first second personal care break for the day, I had only gotten seventy-five sentences written for my Scene Outlines. I figured that I would get one more Act written in about the three hours I had left.

Luckily, for me, I not only wrote Act Three, but I also wrote Act Four and the Tag Act. In other words, I did get these two hundred and twenty-eight sentences finished during my twelve-hour shift at work early yesterday evening and early this morning. That’s not all, though.

I had about an hour to kill. I thought about starting Episode Two, but I probably would have only gotten the Act Breakdown written during that hour. Instead, I decided to write my blog entry for today. Of course, I won’t post it until just before midnight this evening, but I will have it written so that all I need to do is post it.

The good news is that I won’t be working on my Water Wars scriptwriting project during my days off from work. I will continue working on it next weekend. Instead, I will return to my DeathBringers scriptwriting project. I can’t remember where I was on that project, but I know I was working on the sentences for the first four episodes of it.

Speaking of my DeathBringers scriptwriting project, I know where I left off the last time I worked on it. I just started writing Act Two of Episode One, “Everyone Should Know,” when I stopped writing it. I don’t know why, but I stopped writing these sentences after six.

It’s not like me to stop before I finish writing all the scenes for that character, but for some reason, I did this time. Whatever the reason, I still had nineteen more sentences to finish Act Two of this episode. Not only did I finish writing them, but I also finished the rest of Episode One.
