Not a totally new draft, just a tweaked one. I have a hard time doing rewrites immediately, I need time for things to gestate. I think I’m different from most writers in that I’d rather spend a lot of time thinking and write in a mad dash than to write a little each day. I …

Weekend Recap: Nominate me for Awards!
I am still sick, I have been sick for so so long. I mean, I’m 87% better. Which is to say I’m not totally exhausted but I’m still coughing and my nose is still icky. I finished my course of antibiotics, so I’m guessing there’s nothing to do now but hope. My posting is probably …

IMDb Update
1. I truly hate the new designs for individuals on IMDb. It’s ugly and difficult. But there is a way around it — go to by type on the side. 2. I’ve updated and added a bunch of credits to my IMDb page. At the prompting of one of the actors in my short musical …

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 …

Busy Weekend; Bad day for a Migraine
Friday was crazy. I got asked to write a pilot by a web producer, to write a polished first act of a feature for a manager, to edit a short, to add something to a reel, and that it’s possible that I will be promoted to Assistant Editor in January and that I will be …

Up and Down; Script, Web Series, Inktip; Allergies
So the webseries thing keeps ping ponging back and forth between happening and not happening. If it does happen, I’m probably going to lose my Thanksgiving. Theoretically also my Christmas, except I’m not willing to give up my Christmas and my Thanksgiving. So. There’s another short that I’ve been contacted about. I just got the …

Always Something
Last night I had a long production meeting about a webseries that I’ve been tapped to be the Post Supervisor/Lead Editor on. Which is exciting, but we’re not sure when the production is actually going to get produced. So, right now, there are 3 different web series that I’m theoretically on board for but that …

Weekend Wasted, but lovely just the same
I didn’t get any writing done this weekend. I’m still feeling poorly. I’m not sure what it is. I have a history of unreliable health, but I’ve got a doctor appointment Wednesday. Hopefully that’ll clear up whatever this is. I’m just dizzy and woozy. Which makes writing sort of hard, in that it makes thought …

False Controversy, Darwin
I’m a big fan of Pharyngula and PZ Meyers, and I think he’s seen right through some bullshit in this post, or at least, he’s mostly seen through the bullshit. Basically, there’s a film about Darwin that has gotten foreign distribution but hasn’t gotten a distributor in the US. And the producer is claiming that …

Sick, Job Worries
Ugh. I partially hope it’s swine flu. But not really. I’m just woozy, it’s my main symptom. There are some cool things in the works career wise, including a web series that I may be able to edit/color correct the entire series and be paid. I might even get to DP, which would be exciting, …
