That happens to the best of us. And I am living proof at present how one can lose track of something. I started to put the TV series Engonos into final draft and whilst I was copying the blog text over, I started to realise how much I had already written, it has been three years and over time I had ‘completed’ season one. 

Now I start to see how much (and how much I still cannot find) and that is driving me literally insane. Fortunately I had made a reference in one blog and that helps. But beyond that I had written a hell of a lot more. Almost enough to put it into a novel (a big one). As such I am happy that I am now reshaping it and shape the setting of the first season. I wonder if it all becomes season one, or if part becomes season 2. All things I have to contemplate for the future reference. And I am happy that I was so thorough in labelling it all, if I hadn’t done that I would be forced to investigate 2134 documents (good luck with that idea), so there is still space to improve my system, but in the end it was never about the script. The scrips came later. In the first setting I wanted to keep my writing skills and my creativity high. And I had been writing since 2013. The script setting did not occur to me until 2020/2021, so I had several ideas set on paper. 

And now the idea has taken root and I want to move it all to script because writing like an optional writer is one, writing a script is something massively different. So I will rewrite sections, rewrite how dialogues work and how scenes are set. As such the first script is shaping scripts 2,3 and 4. The first was a movie, the second is a mini series (6-8 episodes) named Residuam Vitam, script three is Engonos. A TV series set to a limit, I am now at season 3 (in theory) and the 4th is a closed ending TV series called Residuam Vitam set over three seasons with an open ending. So as I hit a snag (which I already did) I convert the other series until I hit that mark, So whilst I ‘solve’ the other issues, I get enough exercise to set the other stages to a lessened ‘issue’. I know that it is not the greatest solution, but as far as this goes, I want to transfer as much as possible, so that I can get to most of the issues in a short span. 

It might not be the most clever way to resolve issues, but as I see it, it makes sense to me and I can’t call myself a script writer yet, so there. 😛

And overall the amount I have written for Engonos is a little overwhelming, that apart from the fact that the episodes aren’t going linear (as I wrote it), so now I have to copy the text and then convert what I have written. I get that it is not the greatest path to ride, but I never had a script in contemplation of what I had written, and there are the ideas that I never put in script as I had more pressing matters. And one script I ‘handed’ to Matt Damon (I wrote that last week and his project greenlight on August 14th 2025), so there is another script in the making, but not by me.

And for now this is it. It is 2 am and I am having a cold, so that is why I am not snoring deep into the night. My nose is blocked and I wake up every 20 minutes gasping for air. As such I thought out was a good idea to write this blog and arrange some of my files for Engonos.

As time grows towards 03:00, it is time to get a few ZZZZZZ’s for as long as I can get it. Have a great day and I hope you are not afflicted by a cold like I am.

Gezundheit!
