A blog devoted just to my scriptwriting. That’s all I’m going to blogging about here. |
Less Than Yesterday I’m not going to get an episode a day written over the next four days while at work, as I was hoping that I would do. Of course, there was always a chance I wouldn’t do that anyway, especially if I had to update Episodes Two, Three, and Four of my DeathBringers scriptwriting project. I could have possibly done it, but there’s no way I can do that now. I base my logic on last weekend when I got the forty-two paragraphs written for the Episode One Story Outline. It’s true that I didn’t like the way it turned out, and I started creating an update for this episode, but I still got the forty-two paragraphs written during my second twelve-hour shift at work. There’s no reason why I couldn’t do it again. Even though I did write forty-two paragraphs in one twelve-hour shift at work doesn’t mean I can do it again, especially four days in a row, but after today, I will never know if I could have done it. I wanted to start working on the Episode One paragraph Story Outline when I return to work early tomorrow evening, but I can’t do that now. Why can’t I start working on my episode paragraphs tomorrow evening? It’s because I still have a little over one hundred and twenty-five sentences to finish my second Scene Outline for the Episode One update. I wanted to get that done today, with writing one hundred and fifty-seven sentences today for this project, but I didn’t get close to that many written. I only got about twenty-five sentences written today, give a take a few. That’s about five to ten fewer sentences than I got written yesterday. Why did that happen? It’s because of the day that I have had today. It started with me only getting about five hours of sleep last night, if that many hours, and it got a whole lot worse from there. My brother and I had a lot more to get done today than we usually do on a Wednesday. As a result, I only had about two hours today to work on these sentences. It wasn’t just the amount of time I had to work on these sentences, though. I also had a lot of trouble concentrating on writing them. After all, I have been feeling weak and tired all day today. Some of that weakness and tiredness may be from a lack of sleep and the winter weather creeping up on us, but I don’t think that was the only reason why I didn’t get more sentences written today. If it were just that, I probably would have matched the number of sentences I wrote yesterday, aka thirty-five. I probably may have gotten a few more than that number today. After all, thirty-five is the equivalent of seven paragraphs, or about three or four paragraphs every hour that I had time to write. That’s how it worked out yesterday. It should have worked out the same way today if I had written another thirty-five. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen to me today. I only got about the equivalent of five to six paragraphs written today. Will I get one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and thirty sentences written during my first twelve-hour shift starting early tomorrow evening? That’s the equivalent of twenty-five to twenty-six paragraphs written during that time. I should not only get that many written tomorrow, but I should also be able to start writing this paragraph, Story Outline. |
