Another week begins but, for us writers, it’s one endless string of weekdays as we struggle through our latest work. In my case, I am bogged down halfway through the third act of my latest script. Sometimes, these simple conversations can be the most challenging as you want your characters to banter but, at the same time, you want to advance the story while shedding light on their respective personalities and backstories. And, of course, you have to find a way to do it in non-expository, conversational fashion. Easier said than done. Especially since I’m having a difficult time concentrating because I’ve been off sugar for what feels like forever – but has really only been about a day and a half. I’m curious to see what kind of effect it will have on my mental acuity and physical well-being. Spoiler alert so far: my thinking is foggy and I’m feeling a little rundown. Will report back in a couple of days – hopefully, by which time, I will be well into Act 4.
Awaiting word on the two fairly detailed comic book pitches I submitted last week. Apparently, it will take a few weeks for the editorial team to review at their next meeting.

I bet that if Otto von Geuricke, the fellow who assembled this baby, was a government-sanctioned scientist working today, any of his peers pointing out the unlikelihood of the unicorn theory would have their twitter accounts suspended.
File this one under “Rubbish Studies”…
Warning: Shocking hazard!
Today’s Yes/No…
Why not? After all, you only live once. And, after eating one of these, probably not for all that much longer.
