Only My Scriptwriting

Better Than Fifteen?

Better Than Fifteen?

I may be wrong about my fifteen average. In the last couple of days, I have gotten more than fifteen single paragraphs written for Part One and Part Two of my Water Wars scriptwriting project: Sixteen yesterday and seventeen today.

That’s right, I got seventeen single paragraphs written today. I wrote thirteen paragraphs to end Part One of the Movie Introduction for this television series and four for Part Two of this Movie Introduction. It could have been a few more if not for what my brother and I did today.

My brother and I didn’t have too much we needed to do today. But what we needed to do took us about an hour to accomplish. An hour I could have devoted to my writing. If I had that extra hour, I could have probably gotten at least three more single paragraphs written in that hour.

Don’t ask me how I did it because I don’t know. All I know is once I started writing these single paragraphs I couldn’t stop doing it. Of course, the hour I took with my brother slowed me down. But it wasn’t that bad. Especially, since we did that before I started writing.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be the same way if not a little better. I may even get those three extra single paragraphs. After all, as far as I know, my brother and I don’t have anything we need to do tomorrow. If that’s true, I may get more than fifteen paragraphs written tomorrow too.

Of course, I have thought this way before about what my brother and I needed to do in a day only to be wrong about it. That could happen again tomorrow. I don’t think that it will this time. But it could. That’s why I won’t count on anything until it doesn’t happen.

This may be another somewhat short blog entry. But it’s not a short one. Short blog entries are about five paragraphs long. Blog entries like this one are about eight to twelve paragraphs long depending on the length of these paragraphs. They don’t go over a page long.

The long ones are the ones that go over a page slightly. What I mean by slightly is about two to four paragraphs into the second page. It turns out this will be a slightly long blog entry after all. after all, I have just dropped to the next page while writing this paragraph.

When I started writing about this being a shorter-than-usual blog entry, I didn’t realize I was that close to going into a second page. That happens a lot. But it’s usually at the beginning of a blog entry I write that it will be a short one. Not toward the end of it.
