The Water Wars Spreadsheet

The Water Wars Spreadsheet

I’m still working on my spreadsheet for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. I thought that I had it figured out, but when I tried to plug the character name initials into the scene number part of this spreadsheet, there were too many scene numbers that were the same for two different back-to-back Acts.

I don’t mind if there is an Act between the two Acts, but not when they are right next to each other. I spend the rest of late yesterday evening and overnight early this morning trying to correct it. I think I have finally fixed it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any time to plug the character name initials into the spreadsheet yet.

When I return to work tonight, about eleven hours from now, I will continue to work on this spreadsheet. Hopefully, I will get it right this time. If not, I will try it another way. I have already done that with this update. What do I mean by that? It means I have tried another way.

Instead of the one hundred scenes for the main characters and fifty scenes for the secondary characters, I have made it one hundred and two scenes for the main characters for this project and forty-eight scenes for the secondary characters. Why did I do that?

It’s because the main characters will now each have thirty-four scenes for each Part or Episode, and the secondary characters will have eighteen scenes each. At least, I hope that’s how it will turn out. I won’t know that until I get the scene numbers part of this spreadsheet worked out. Hopefully, I will get that worked out right away.

Besides the number of scenes for every character, there is another big change now. It gives the secondary characters some Scene Fives and Scene Tens. Under the new format update, the secondary characters of Reen, Voonc, and Kiirra will have ten scenes that are either Scene Fives or Scene Tens. Hopefully, they will come out even.

The same is true for the main characters of Chaad, Suuri, and Hoolle. Only instead of ten, they will have twenty Scene Fives or Scene Tens. They won’t come out even either, but hopefully, they will be a close second. It all depends on when I can get the Scene Number part of this spreadsheet done.

After I get this part of this spreadsheet done, I will set up the numeric scene numbers with the individual characters associated with these scenes. Only then will I know how even the scene numbers are, especially the Scene Fives and Scene Tens, as well as the total for each character.
