December the thirtieth – Better Than Friday Because of OT

Better Than Friday Because of OT

Yesterday was a very good day for writing my movie Treatment. After all, I got Act Three done. I was hoping that I would be able to do that, and I did. In fact, I had time to do a little bit more with Act Four, but I decided not to do them. It would probably be only one or two regular scene paragraphs and a few Establishing Shot paragraphs. Then again, thinking about it now maybe I should have done them. If I would have done two regular scene paragraphs, I would have done an even twenty.

That’s if I could have done two of them. Which I probably could have done under the circumstances. I only had about an hour left until the end of my shift and usually, it starts getting a little bit busy in that last hour. Yesterday it didn’t, but it usually does. It wasn’t a typical Saturday anyway. True, it wasn’t very busy, but it was busier than usual. Not too busy to slow me down too much with my writing, but it did slow me down some though.

I did have some trouble with several of my paragraphs. Not as much with the six-line ones, but I did with the fives. Even one or two fours caused me some trouble. I don’t usually have too much trouble with my fours, but yesterday I did. Most of the time it’s my fives that give me the most trouble. Sometimes it’s the sixes, but very seldom is it the fours or threes. Yesterday was one of those seldom.

I’m going to try to get Act Four done today. If I do, then I will be getting twenty regular scene paragraphs done and about five to eight Establishing Shot paragraphs. It’s probably only going to be five ESs, but there may one or two more, maybe even three more. I don’t know if I’m going to be able to do that many or not, but I’m going to try. If it’s a typical Sunday at work I think that I have a very good chance at doing it.

May even be able to do a little bit of Act Five too, but even if I have the time to do it, I probably won’t. after all, if I finish Act Four then I will be halfway through my movie Treatment. That’s a good way to end my last day at work this week. At least I think that it is.

What am I going to do for my two days off? I’m going to continue to work on this movie treatment of course. I just don’t know how much of it will get done. Especially, on Monday. There is at least one thing that I need to do Monday. It shouldn’t take too long to do it either. I’m not sure what else we need to do Monday, though. Usually, Tuesdays aren’t too busy, but with it being the first day of a new year it might be. Whether my days off are busy or not, I should have at least a few hours that I can work on this movie Treatment.
