Where Does The Time Go!?

I've been out of touch since I have been so busy. Cat and I are knee-deep in the television spec (Act 3 is already done!). I give the credit to Cat for being such a good whip-cracker. This might be the fastest we've ever written something. The results are good for a rough, first draft. I'm pleased.

I suppose since a writer should write everyday, and we've been doing that, I just found myself behind in my little updates. I apologize to my fans.

Our manager sent two of our writing samples (a feature and a short) to the director and producer of the horror movie that has a treatment but no script. We'll see what happens with that.

Today, we are getting together to write (hopefully finish the script!), and watch a movie that our manager said had some interesting, horrific elements to it. He brought it (and some other films) up in the notes on our "horror" (that pesky word!)/thriller feature spec. His notes are great, and we're pleased. We meet with him later this month to discuss things.

Oh, and Tom will appreciate this, I have been enthralled with an OLD movie... SUNSET BOULEVARD! I don't know why, or how to even explain it, but I love the movie. There is something so dramatic, crazy, and almost voyeuristic about it. Maybe the fact that the lead is a writer. Who knows? It's a little campy, but still utterly watchable. If you haven't seen it, I say (and we've been dying to hear this, haven't we?) Watch it, dammit!

All right, it's time for me to get ready and go. It's raining here today (quite a bit, actually), so it's the perfect day to curl up in front of Cat's laptop and create some magic. Then, we'll watch the movie and celebrate a well-done first draft.

Every once in a while, I get that good feeling that we're gonna make it after all. Still, anything can happen, but I can promise you one thing. No matter how busy I get...
