Reading the live blog of the Prop 8 trial: http://prop8trialtracker.com/ It’s fascinating, the arguments are incredibly well-crafted on the pro-gay marriage side. The judge is whip smart and seems to be really curious as to why the state is in the business of marriage in the first place. I’d always sort of been leaning that …

3 weeks to Christmas
I wanted to have my rewrite of Bible Con and first draft of Dyke for a Day done by Thanksgiving. I also wanted to have a business plan for the former ready for my trip to SC at Christmas. You know, so I could sort of test the waters for raising the money there. So …

Back to our Regularly Scheduled Programming: Pitching, Zombies, Glee and Otters
So, I have actually had a good couple of days. I had a pitch with PitchQ. They’re a service that records your pitch and posts it online. I submitted a pitch to a specific call and got to go in and record it without paying the usual fee on the website. It was a really …

Strange Dreams: Zombies, The Civil War, Count Olaf, and Obama’s Nobel Prize
From last night: 1. Zombies were attacking and every time anyone felt under the weather they had to be chained up outside on the roof until it was clear that they were not turning into Zombies. I blame F for showing me Plants vs Zombies. 2. I was writing a paper for a history class …

First Act: One person officially liked it
Woo! Minor adjustments and it may be ready to ship off! I’m still waiting on one reader to send their thoughts, but it’s always so exciting the first time someone reads something you’ve written. I also signed up for Zoetrope.com where I put up Bible Con to get thoughts. I have to review 4 other …

First Act: Complete
First acts are probably the easiest. And I write short anyway. This one clocks in at exactly 22 pages, written in just over a week. 9 days coming out to over 2 pages a day, though that’s certainly not how it was written. 12 last weekend, 10 this weekend. Nothing like my 15 page a …

First Day As Story Assistant; Argument with Apparently Illiterate Religious Types
I just had to sign a confidentiality agreement which says I can’t reveal the nature and details of my employment. Does that mean I can’t tell people what I do? Like, if I was an editor on Toddlers and Tiaras, would I have to be like, “I work on a show in some capacity, that’s …

Project Runway 606; unimpressed
I mean seriously, this was a challenge that could have been so badass. Only one person did anything interesting with it. Epperson, or however the hell his name is, did this really cool Firefly inspired denim coat dress thing that was balls out. Everything else was boring, uninspired, or just plain bad. I’m sad pretty …

A real person read my script
We’ll call these people S and T. S is a manager/producer type, T is S’s assistant. F, my creative partner, has a connection with S, in that she really loved Prombies!, the short he and I made that was about erections turning boys into zombies, and she has been in touch with him a couple …
