A blog devoted just to my scriptwriting. That’s all I’m going to blogging about here.

The First Half of the Forty Today
The First Half
of the Forty Today



I was going to use the blog title for this blog entry to be, ‘Twenty Paragraphs, the Hard Way,’ but it was too long to be broken up so that the second line would be slightly bigger than the first line. So, I decided on the title above to be my blog title for this blog entry.

It could have gone either way. After all, I did get twenty paragraphs written today for my movie Story Outline for my movie, ‘The Final Ritual of Hummannan.’ I also got the first half of the forty paragraphs that I needed to write today. Unfortunately, I had to do it the hard way.

What do I mean by writing these paragraphs ‘the hard way?’ It means that the last four paragraphs I had to write Cold Turkey. That means that I had to write them with no distractions. I’m somewhat surprised that my brother didn’t interrupt me during this time, but he didn’t.

Speaking of my brother, it was what my brother and I needed to do today that made me half to go Cold Turkey to finish writing these twenty paragraphs for my movie Story Outline. Once again, I was wrong again about how much time I would have today to work on this scriptwriting project.

Unfortunately, I only had about five hours to work on this Story Outline. That’s about four paragraphs every hour, about fifteen minutes for each paragraph. That should have been plenty of time to write these twenty paragraphs, but it wasn’t. After all, I did have some updating to do.

Now, I didn’t have to start this project over for one reason or another, but I did have some updating that I needed to do with my sentence Act Breakdown, my Story Outline, and my Scene Outline. Luckily, it wasn’t a lot of updating, but I did have some updating I needed to do with these documents.

I mainly had changes that I needed to make to my Story Outline and my Scene Outline, but I also had to update my Act Breakdown document a few times. It could have been worse. After all, I could have needed to do a lot more updating for these sentences than I ended up doing.

What does all of this mean for the last twenty paragraphs I need to finish writing this phase of it? It means that I only have twenty paragraphs left before I finish writing this phase of this project. Will I get these twenty paragraphs written before I return to work this weekend?

That’s a very good question, and I think that I have an answer for this question. I should be able to get these twenty paragraphs written tomorrow. After all, I wrote them today. There’s no reason why I can’t do it again. I’m not going to count on that until it happens, though.

I think that I can get these twenty paragraphs written tomorrow. Not only because I wrote twenty paragraphs today, but I have been writing at least that many paragraphs for the last few days. There’s no reason why I can’t do it again tomorrow. At least I hope that’s how it will be tomorrow.

The only reason why I can’t get these twenty paragraphs written tomorrow is that I don’t have the time to write them. I will need another five to six hours tomorrow to write these paragraphs. If I can get these five to six hours tomorrow, is shouldn’t have any problems finishing these paragraphs.
