Only My Scriptwriting

Keep Getting New Records

Keep Getting New Records

Did it again. I set a new record for single paragraphs on a weekday aka Thursday morning. It was for Part One of the Movie Introduction for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. that’s not all, though. I think I also set a new record for the number of scenes written on a weekday.

Earlier today, I got eleven scenes written. If I remember correctly, I have had a couple of tens and at least one eight and nine, but I don’t think that I have ever done an eleven. Eleven is considered bad on the weekend, but during the weekday it’s very, very good. At least I think it is.

Don’t ask me how I did it. Because I don’t know. All that I do know is that once I started writing, I couldn’t stop doing it. The only thing that did was work. Especially, my two rounds that I do during the weekday shifts. Combined that’s a little bit over an hour.

The camera watching also took up about an hour. Each hour I need to watch the twelve cameras full screen. About fifteen to twenty seconds for six of them. around thirty to thirty-five seconds for the other six. Why these odd numbers? It’s because I like to start them on the fives and tens.

By starting them on the fives and tens second mark, it usually adds a second or two to how long I watch that camera full screen. Sometimes it’s even three or four seconds. Normally, it’s about two or three, but it can be one or four seconds sometimes too.

No matter how I look at it, it takes me around six to ten minutes per hour to watch these cameras. That includes the paperwork I need to do with watching them. if I add up the rounds I do, the cameras watching I do, and the paperwork, I only have about five hours of writing time on a weekday.

Earlier today, that averaged seven single paragraphs per hour. That what I must have done. After all, I got thirty-five single paragraphs written earlier today. a new record for me. The last one was last week at thirty-two. So, I did three paragraphs more than last Friday.

At least I think it was last Friday. it may have been Thursday, but I don’t think that it was. Whether it was Thursday or Friday, it was still thirty-two. So, no matter how I look at it, I did three more single paragraphs today. That’s why it’s a new weekday record.

That’s not the best part, though. Doing eleven scenes today means I only have three more scenes to write before I end Part One of the Movie Introduction for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. About ten single paragraphs. I should get them done before I do my first round tomorrow.

It also means that I’m going to be starting The Script for Part Two of this Movie Introduction tomorrow. I’m not sure how many scenes or single paragraphs I’m going to get done tomorrow for part two, but it should be about five scenes and around fifteen paragraphs. Give or take a little.
