Only My Scriptwriting

Probably More Updating Needed

Updating Needed

(Continued From Yesterday’s Blog Entry)

I can keep the paragraph Story Outlines for my scriptwriting projects because, with a typical Short Story, the margins are one inch long on all four sides, but the paragraph Scene Outlines are a Transcript style of script. I don’t need to change the margins for my paragraph Story Outlines, but I will for my paragraph Scene Outlines and scripts.

I thought that I had set up the formatting for my scripts that I could use for my paragraph Scene Outlines, but it looks like I haven’t done that until now. I have already updated my paragraph Scene Outlines for my DeathBringers scriptwriting project. It should be the same for my Water Wars scriptwriting project, but I don’t know that yet.

I’m returning to work this evening at eleven PM WDC time. That means I’m returning to my Water Wars scriptwriting project, but before I can return to working on these Scene Outlines, I will probably have some updating to do. I shouldn’t with the formatting, but I will with what I have written so far with these paragraph Scene Outlines.

I may have a big problem with my Scene Headings most of all. After all, some of my Scene Headings barely make it in a sixty-five-character line, but with the current formatting, it will only be a sixty-character line. I don’t know how I will drop these Scene Headings by five characters, but I will figure out a way to do it. I just don’t know how I will do it yet.

It won’t be as hard with the scripts as it is with the paragraph Scene Outlines. After all, I use Scene Numbering in my paragraph Scene Outlines. I don’t use Scene Numbering in my scripts, but I do in my paragraph Scene Outlines because I want to show what these scriptwriting projects should look like if they are television Movies, etc.

The Scene Headings won’t be the only thing I will probably need to update on these Scene Outlines. I will also need to update some of my paragraphs. After all, under my old format, I had a sixty-character line, and now I have a fifty-five-character line. I may not have too big of a problem with some of these lines, but then again, I might.

I have a lot of big words, and these words can be a big problem because of their length, especially at the end of these lines. After all, I don’t end lines with more than five spaces. I will figure out how I can update these paragraphs. I just don’t know how long it will take me to do this. Hopefully, it won’t take me too long.

I hope that I will be working on Part One of my Scene Outline for my Water Wars scriptwriting project, but I may not get to do this later this evening or overnight tomorrow morning. It all depends on how long it takes me to update these Outlines. I hope it won’t take me more than eight hours to finish this update, but it may.
