Only My Scriptwriting

Seventeen Includes Two Establishing Shots

Seventeen Includes
Two Establishing Shots

Another day I didn’t think I would get ten paragraphs written for the Episode One Scene Outline of my Water Wars scriptwriting project. Luckily, not only did I get the ten paragraphs written but I also got seven more, two of which were for Establishing Shots.

That’s right, I not only finished writing the Teaser Act for this Scene Outline but I got the two Establishing Shots for the beginning of Act One written today too. I only needed fifteen paragraphs to finish writing my Teaser Act. And I got them finished with about a half hour of writing time left for today.

I knew I couldn't get more than one numeric scene from Act One today. But I could get the two Establishing Shots that start Act One of this Scene Outline. That’s what I did today. Could I have gotten one more paragraph written today? Probably, but I decided not to do it.

Twenty-nine numeric scene paragraphs I would need to write before I finished writing Act One for this project. That’s how many paragraphs I would need to write if I had gotten Scene One written today. I decided not to do that. It’s better if I have thirty to write instead of twenty-nine. At least I think it’s better.

Tomorrow, I will start writing those thirty paragraphs. Of course, I would like to get all thirty written tomorrow. But I know I will be lucky if I get fifteen to twenty of them written. And it will probably be closer to fifteen than twenty unless it’s like yesterday when I only got ten.

Hopefully, I will get a lot more than ten paragraphs written tomorrow. But after yesterday, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was ten. I don’t think it will be that bad tomorrow, but it could be. After all, tomorrow is a Tuesday. And sometimes Tuesdays can be as bad as Mondays if not a little bit worse. It probably won’t be worse than yesterday, but it could be.

I know it will be at least Wednesday before my brother and I return to our old place. And it may be even later than that. We were supposed to return there today. But we had to wait for something that didn’t come in the mail today either. Hopefully, it will come in the mail tomorrow.

Why may it be later than Wednesday before we return to our old place? It’s because I put in a job application for a Security job today. It’s for a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday position. I may be starting it at the end of this week if my background check comes back soon enough. Applying for this job didn’t affect how much writing I got done today.

I applied for this job before I normally woke up today. What affected my writing was that I only had about four and a half hours to work on this project. And was because of what my brother and I had to do today. We didn’t need to do too much. But what we did need to do took us several hours to do.
