December the twenty-seventh – A Good Day for My Treatment

A Good Day For My Treatment

It has been a very good day for my movie Treatment. At least it was for yesterday. I’m not sure about today, yet. After all, I haven’t done any writing for today except for this Blog entry and my latest genre Prompt for The Daily One Scene Contest. If it’s anything like yesterday, I think it will be as good a day if not better.

What have I accomplished yesterday? A lot more than I thought that I was going to get written. I got fifteen regular scene paragraphs done yesterday and eight Establishing Shot paragraphs finished. If I can continue doing this good, I will get my first Act finished today. I’ve already completed the Teaser Act and the first five scene for Act One. I might even be able to start Act Two too.

A lot depends on work. Yesterday, it was a little less than about normal. It was very busy, but not too busy. I know what that reads like. It doesn’t make any sense to me either. What I am trying to say is that yesterday at work was almost normal, but not quite. Does that explain it better? I’m hoping that today will be just as busy as yesterday. Thursdays usually aren’t too busy anyway. I hope it’s a typical Thursday.

Whether I get at least fifteen more scene paragraphs done or not, I’m going to continue working on my Treasure Finders movie Treatment. The sooner I get it done, the sooner I can get the first two episodes. Then I can start working on my scripts. If I start writing them. I’ve still got The Bible to do for this project. I might just do that after the Treatments. Then I will start writing the scripts.

I’m not sure if that’s the order that you need to do or not, but I think that it is. Whether it is or not that’s the way I’m going to do it. What is a Bible? I don’t know why the industry calls it that, but it’s a breakdown of what a television series is all about. It consists of the main character backgrounds, the main settings for it, and the episodes for it. No, I didn’t forget to write how many episodes because I disagree with that.

According to the industry right now most American series run about twenty to twenty-four episodes a season. I disagree with that. It should be fifty. Why do I say that? It’s because of the daytime dramas. They do about fifty weeks worth of episodes per year. It cost them about the same amount for five episodes per week as it does one weekly television show. So, if the daytime dramas can do it, why can’t the weekly ones do it. That why I write two years’ worth of synopses for my television shows. That’s one hundred of them. Which equals four or five seasons for the industry.
