Only My Scriptwriting

Yesterday and today: A Lack of Concentration

Yesterday and today:
A Lack of Concentration

I don’t know how long this blog entry will be today. I’m not even sure I can stay awake long enough to finish writing and posting it before midnight WDC time. After all, I have been feeling weak and tired all day today. Unfortunately, that’s not all, though. It hasn’t been just today. It’s been like that since midnight WDC time last night.

It all started about midnight WDC time last night. I had about six hours to start writing my paragraphs for the Episode Three Story Outline. During those six hours, I only got seven paragraphs written, aka the Teaser Act. Why didn’t I get more written during those six hours? It’s because I was feeling so weak and tired by then.

Why was I having so much trouble staying awake yesterday? I don’t know why I was feeling so weak and tired during my first official twelve-hour shift at work early yesterday evening, starting at six PM WDC time until six AM WDC time. After all, I got plenty of sleep earlier that day. It wasn’t eight hours of sleep, but it was about six to seven hours.

That should have been plenty of time for me not to feel the way I was feeling all during this shift, and it affected my writing. After all, it took me about six hours to finish writing the Episode Three Scene Outline, and that was only fifty sentences, aka about ten paragraphs. Why did it take me so long to finish this Episode Three Scene Outline?

Unfortunately, I don’t know why it took me so long to write these fifty sentences. Normally, I could maybe blame the gloomy and misty weather that happened all during my shift yesterday evening and this morning, but I don’t think that’s the reason why it took me so long to write these sentences. It must be because of the way I was feeling during this time.

No, I didn’t fall asleep overnight last night, or even doze a little, but I did have a lot of problems staying awake, and not nodding off. I think that’s why I only got seven paragraphs written during the last six hours of my shift earlier today. How did this happen? Why did I only get about seventeen paragraphs written during this shift?

It’s not just what I did or didn’t do during this first official twelve-hour shift this week. It also has to do with what happened after I got off this shift today. I have also been feeling weak and tired all day today, and I don’t understand why this is happening. After all, I got plenty of sleep after I got off work today.

I only got about six to seven hours of sleep earlier today, after I got home from work, but that should have been plenty of sleep for today so far. Why wasn’t it? That’s what I want to know. I may never know the answer to these questions. Hopefully, it won’t be this day during my next two twelve-hour shifts at work this weekend.
