Only My Scriptwriting

The Hard Way Again

The Hard Way Again

Today was almost a disaster for the Episode One Scene Outline for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. If I didn’t have to do it the hard way again, I probably wouldn’t have gotten even ten paragraphs today. That’s how hard it was for me today. What happened to me today, I don’t know.

Well, that isn’t exactly true. My brother and I didn’t have a lot that we needed to get done today. But what we needed to do took us most of the day to do it. I didn’t get started working on these paragraphs until I only had about four and a half hours to work on them.

I should have gotten at least ten paragraphs written in about four hours. But I didn’t because my brother and I weren’t finished for the day after all. We had a couple of more things to do. As a result, I only had about three and a half hours to work on this project. Luckily, I had enough time to write seven more paragraphs for this Scene Outline.

Don’t ask me how I wrote them because I don’t know how I did it. All I know is that once I started writing these paragraphs I couldn’t stop until I finished them. I thought I would need to go Cold Turkey to finish writing them. But I didn’t need to do that either.

What about tomorrow? Will I be able to get at least fifteen more paragraphs written tomorrow? That depends on what my brother and I need to do tomorrow. At first, I didn’t think I would be getting too much writing done tomorrow because my brother and I returning to our old place. But that has been postponed until Thursday or maybe even Friday.

I’m hoping I was going to get another seventeen tomorrow to twenty-two that would include the two opening Establishing Shots for Act Two. That would be for the seventeen. If I got the twenty-two that would include the first five scenes of Act Two. I won’t count on any of this happening until it does.
