Only My Scriptwriting

They are For a Saturday

They are For a Saturday

I think the most I have written for my single paragraphs is seventy, and I think that was done a few Sundays ago. If that’s true, then I have beaten that with seventy-three I got written for the first episode of my Water Wars scriptwriting project. it’s better than that, though. I also did them on a Saturday.

I’m not sure when it comes to the number of scenes that I have gotten written in one day, but if I do remember correctly, it was twenty-one. I think I have gotten a couple of them so far. Maybe two or three at the most, but I’m sure I have gotten at least one. Whether it for a Saturday I don’t know.

Think the twenty-one scenes per day was done on a Sunday a few weeks ago when I did the seventy single paragraphs, but I’m not sure about that. It probably was on that Saturday, though. After all, I average three single paragraphs for most of my scenes. The fives and tens are normally four paragraphs because they are nineteen lines/seconds long.

That sometimes is different though. Sometimes I get four single paragraphs in a scene other than my fives and tens, and sometimes it’s even more than four. It doesn’t happen too often, but once in a while I have five single paragraphs per scene. Usually, because there is a dialogue going on within it. That happened earlier today with me.

It all adds up that way. Sixty-six for the twenty-two scenes that I did earlier today. Plus, the two extra single paragraphs for that one scene that wasn’t a five or ten and the five fives and tens that were an extra single paragraph. Add them all today and I get seventy-three single paragraphs and twenty-two scenes.

I’m not going to count on it until it happens, but I hope I can do as well or better tomorrow than I did today. it’s possible. After all, I normally get a little bit more written on a Sunday than I do a Saturday. Every so often, it’s the other way around, but mostly it’s a little better on a Sunday than it is on a Saturday.

Unfortunately, I’m starting Act Three of this episode, and Acts One and Three aren’t usually as fast as Acts Two and Fours. The Teaser Acts are a lot like Acts One and Three because they start a Part or an Episode. As for the Tag Acts, they are usually a little faster in writing like my Acts Two and Fours because they end a Part or Episode.

That’s right. Not only did I get seventy-three single paragraphs written earlier today at work and twenty-two scenes, but I also finished Act Two of this episode. I’m starting Act Three today. So, if I do another twenty-two scenes again I may be able to do another seventy-three single paragraphs because of my Establishing Shots.
