this is one of the most important parts of shifting.

scripting is basically writing a fan fiction of yourself in your desired reality. your script can be as detailed or generic as you want i recommend more details, but you can do whatever you prefer.

you can make yourself...

         a character in a book/show/movie (ex. make yourself be katara from avatar or superman)

         the exact same as you are in your cr

         a whole new character that you make up

here are some ideas to help you write your script

gather ideas: before you start writing your script, you want to think of general ideas

         what's your desired reality like? is it from a book, show, movie, comic, anime, manga, webtoon etc. or did you make the whole thing up?

         when and where does your dr take place?

         is your dr a fantasy world or based on real life?

         who are you going to be?

                  a hogwarts student?

                  a princess/prince?

                  someone that already exists? (ex. a celebrity, a character from your dr, etc.)

                  an anime character?

         what is your family like?

                  are they rich?

                 do you have any siblings?

                  is your family famous?

                  where do you and your family live? do you live with your family?

                  is your family closely bonded? why or why not?

                  does your family have a tragic history? if so, why?

you can write down rough ideas until you have enough to write a script with.

starting to script: depending on what you want so script, you can use these kinds of scripting for good organization

the timeline - i recommend doing this before moving on to more detailed scripts. you'll pick out important events in your dr self's life. if possible, pick out exact dates and write a bullet point or two describing the event. here's an example:

         09.04.1971 - my birthday, born as oldest child out of three children, born in hospital in wellington, new zealand

         june 1983 - my family moves to the united states for my mom's job, blah blah, blah blah

         september 1986 - blah blah, details

         date - details, blah blah blah

making a timeline is a great step towards creating a whole ass script because you can get a rough idea of what you want to script.

character scripting: this is scripting a specific character.

         can be a family member, friend, enemy, crush, whoever you want

         it isn't necessary, but i highly recommend it

          at least script the yourself, closest friends, family members (unless you don't see them much), enemies and crush
