Other Than Scriptwriting

The Last Six This Time

The Last Six This Time

Whether I go Cold Turkey for the last five or six single paragraphs in whatever Story Outline I’m working on for my Water Wars scriptwriting project, I will be writing fifteen single paragraphs for that day. At least it has been for the last few days. The last two days have been because of Cold Turkey. Hopefully, that won’t be my average too.

I only needed nine, the Tag Act, single paragraphs from Episode One, Some of the Adults, to finish writing this Story Outline. Unfortunately, it took me almost the entire day to write those nine paragraphs. Why did it take me so long to write those nine paragraphs? What is the usual reason? It’s because I only had a few hours to write them.

Mostly what my brother and I had to do today was my fault. It was my fault because there was something I needed to do yesterday, and I forgot to do it. That wasn’t the only thing my brother and I had to do today. but it was the main reason. That’s why I only had about three hours to work on these paragraphs. After all, I only had three hours today.

Three and a half hours again if I count the thirty minutes of Cold Turkey before I started writing this blog entry. Only this time it was six single paragraphs I needed to get fifteen paragraphs written today instead of five. Normally, I would have to start a new Part or Episode. But I didn’t have that problem today. At least not too much of one.

Maybe I’m getting better at writing these single paragraphs or it’s another reason. But I usually have some problems getting started on a new Part or Episode. I didn’t have too many problems with Episode Two, Not Hiding in Darkness. Why do I have some problems starting a new Part or Episode? I don’t know why it is sometimes, but it is a problem for me.

Hopefully, I can start getting more than fifteen single paragraphs written per day. After all, I have two other episodes after this one before I’m finished with these Story Outlines. That equals one hundred and fifty-six more paragraphs left to write. That’s a lot of paragraphs if I keep writing fifteen per day.

If I keep writing fifteen single paragraphs per day, it will take me about a month to finish writing these Story Outlines. Why will it take me that long to write them? it’s because I will have at least one Short Story to write in about two weeks. So, I will only have about four weeks to work on this project if I’m lucky.

As far as I know, my brother and I don’t have too much that we need to do tomorrow. I know he needs to do some things. But I don’t think I need to help him do it. I’m sure we have a few things we need to do together. Hopefully, it won’t be too much. And I will still have plenty of time to work on my Water Wars scriptwriting project.
