Other Than Scriptwriting

What's Wrong with Me Now?

What’s Wrong with Me Now?

The above blog title asks a very good question. Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to it because I don’t know what that is. I don’t know what’s wrong with me right now. That isn’t exactly true, though. Emotionally, I don’t know what’s happening to me, and physically it isn’t too much better, but physically I am slightly better.

It's a lack of something, but I’m not sure if it’s a lack of sleep, a lack of concentration, or probably both. I think it’s a little bit of each combined. Even though, they lack the other one slightly too. Does that make any sense? It doesn’t to me, and I’m the one writing it.

I don’t think it’s a lack of sleep because I got plenty of sleep last night. It could have been better, but about seven hours should have been plenty. At least I think it should be. It’s a lot better than it has been the last few days. I’ve only gotten about six hours of sleep within the last several days. If I even got that much sleep.

If there is anything wrong with me, it’s my lack of concentration. That would explain why I barely got ten single paragraphs written today for the third Novel Outline for my SpaceHorrors scriptwriting/novel/short stories project. Unfortunately, that’s not the worst of it.

What I did write today I didn’t like. Maybe that’s why I only got ten single paragraphs written today. It’s because of the way I’m feeling about the third Novel Outline for the October Prep Challenge this year. This Movie Introduction is supposed to explain my SpaceHorrors television series, but I don’t think it’s doing that.

At least I don’t think that it is. The last few days I have been writing about my grammar problems, my writing style, and my rewriting. I’m starting to think it’s a lot worse than I thought. I was only going to be doing some rewriting, but now I’m thinking it may be a lot more than some.

I don’t like to do this, but this novel Movie Introduction is important. Unfortunately, I may have to start this series almost from scratch. Not just the single paragraphs for my third Outline, but for the single sentences first and second Outlines too. If I do, I need to start doing it now. The big question is, should I do it or not?

The reason it probably won’t be a total scratch is that I will have what I have written so far to help me refine it. A lot of it I can still keep. I just need to tweak it slightly. At least I’m hoping that’s all it will take, but I’m not going to count on anything until it happens.
