Only My Scriptwriting

Five to Ten More

Five to Ten More

Forty-two paragraphs were written for the Episode Three Scene Outline, which is good writing. Especially, since two of them were Establishing Shots. At least forty-two is good for me. It should have been five to ten more paragraphs, though. After all, it was a twelve-hour shift.

All I needed to finish Act One of this episode was twenty-five paragraphs. I got them written about halfway through my shift. That equals about four paragraphs for every hour. It also equals about fifteen minutes for every paragraph. I prefer it to be about ten minutes for each paragraph, but fifteen isn’t bad. It’s just not as good.

I don’t know what happened with Act Two of this episode. Normally, my Act Twos and Act Fours get written faster because they end the first half of a Part or an Episode. The Act Fours don’t end the second half, but they are more action-oriented like Act Twos are.

I only got seventeen paragraphs written for Act Two of this episode for my Water Wars scriptwriting project overnight. That equals about three paragraphs for every hour and about twenty minutes for every paragraph. That’s not good writing in my opinion. It should have been four and fifteen like the first six hours. I don’t know why it wasn’t.

The first six hours of my twelve-hour shifts are a little slow with this Post. It feels like I have worked at least six hours if not an hour or two more. The second half of this shift is a lot faster. It’s more like about four to five hours instead of six.

If I had gotten the extra five to ten paragraphs written overnight earlier today, I would have averaged the four paragraphs and fifteen minutes I did in the first six hours of my shift. The five paragraphs would have almost been enough by themselves. The ten paragraphs would have made them closer to ten minutes for every hour.

I know I started doing my updating a week or two ago, but before that, I didn’t do any writing on Sundays because I only worked six hours on Sundays. I will probably start doing that again today. After all, the only reason why I did it then was because of the updating.

Another reason why I probably won’t be doing any writing starting in less than an hour from now is because I have all day tomorrow before my next blog entry. I know that my brother and I have a few things we need to do tomorrow. I don’t think it will take us too long to do them. I should have plenty of time to work on these Scene Outlines.
