Only My Scriptwriting

It's Usually Just Before Midnight

It’s Usaually
Just Before Mindnight

Usually, I don’t write and post these blog entries until just before midnight WDC time, but sometimes I don’t have any choice but to do them earlier or miss another blogging day. Something that I never want to do is to miss another blogging day. This is one of those sometimes. That’s why I’m writing and posting this Blog entry now.

After all, I’m working again this week for the New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day holiday. At first, was was going to go in at my usual time of six PM WDC time to six AM WDC time, but that changed to a nine PM WDC time to a six AM WDC time, aka nine hours later this evening to early tomorrow morning, instead of twelve hours tonight and tomorrow morning.

Normally, I would be doing this much extra work. After all, I am partially retired. I’m limited to the amount of work and pay that I get each year. Since this is the ending of the year, I have a little bit more flexibility with my annual allowance, and since tomorrow is the beginning of a new year, I have some leeway for next year.

What does all this have to do with my writing? It means that I will be continuing to update my movie, ‘The Final Ritual of Hummannan.’ Unfortunately, I’m not ready to start writing the paragraph Story Outline for this movie yet. All I have updated so far is the Act Breakdown. I still have the sentence Story Outline and the Scene outline for this project.

Will I get these Story and Scene Outlines finished by the end of this nine-hour shift tonight and tomorrow morning? That’s hard to say, but it’s unlikely that I will get three hundred and ninety-six sentences written in nine hours, and that’s if I have the nine hours to work on them. It may be more like seven or eight hours to work on these sentences.

What I don’t get written tonight and tomorrow morning, I should be able to get it done by the end of my twelve-hour shift early tomorrow evening to early Friday morning. That’s twenty-one hours over the next couple of shifts at work. I should be ready to start working on my paragraph Story Outline during my two twelve-hour shifts this weekend.

Hopefully, I will start working on this paragraph Story Outline before this weekend, but I’m not going to count on that until it happens. After all, I don’t know how much time I will have at work to work on this project. I may have plenty of time to work on it. Then again, I may not have twenty-one hours over the next couple of days.

It’s not just the number of hours I have to work on these sentences and paragraphs. It also depends on how fast I can get them written. If I don’t have too many problems writing these sentences, I should get them written in the next couple of days, aka the next twenty-one hours. Once again, I’m not going to count on that happening until it does.
