Only My Scriptwriting

This Last Weekend and Today

This Last Weekend and Today

There has been more bad news than there is good news over the past few days regarding my scriptwriting project. The good news is that I finished writing my Sentence Act Breakdown, Story Outline, and Scene Outline for my movie, Skinless. Unfortunately, I finished this project early Saturday evening while at work.

The rest of this weekend this last weekend I started working on my latest movie, The Life of Billia Lonce. I already had a synopsis written for it. Now all I had to do was expand on it to include individual storylines for each Act in this movie. That took me the rest of my Saturday evening and early Sunday morning to finish doing it.

I can’t remember how long it took me to finish writing my movie, Skinless, without looking at the blog entry from yesterday. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to do that right now, but if I remember correctly, I had about five hours to work on this latest movie.

Unfortunately, it took me almost all of these five hours before I could finish this detailed synopsis. Of course, part of the reason why I didn’t get more written during my first twelve-hour shift this weekend was because of work, but it was mainly because of this detailed synopsis.

The only thing left to do was set up the characters for this latest movie. That is what I was doing for my second twelve-hour shift this past weekend. Unfortunately, I didn’t get all the way through this phase of setting up for this movie. There are several reasons why I didn’t get through this phase this latest weekend. One of them is how complicated it is.

Billia had five Young Ones with four lovers during her early adult life, and Helleni had three Young ones with one and only one love of her left. These eight Young Ones had two or three Young Ones, plus a love for most of them. The Younger Ones of these eight Young Ones had ten Youngest Ones. All of these Young Ones were because of Billia or Helleni.

Overall, there were about a hundred, maybe even close to two hundred Young Ones, Younger Ones, and Youngest Ones that started life with either Billia or Helleni. That’s a lot of names to remember. It’s worse than that, though. After all, this isn’t a one-character-name kind of movie.

The inhabitants of this planet have two names, but they aren’t a first name and a last name. They are a first name and a second name. Most planets and storylines I have written have one name, but this planet has two, and no two names are the same. That’s what makes them different.

It was hard for me to remember all these names. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time during my second twelve-hour shift at work this last weekend to remember all of them. I still have the Youngest Ones to remember. True, most of these Supporting Cast characters won’t be in that much of this movie, but they are a big part of The Life of Billia Lonce.

That’s enough for what I did over the past weekend while at work. Now comes the time for more bad news. Today, I didn’t have too much time to work on my DeathBringers project. I did have a few hours to work on it, though. Unfortunately, I didn’t get too far along with it because of all the updating I needed to do on it. I still have a lot left to do on this Episode.
