I was speaking to my good friend and fellow writer/producer Alexander Ruemelin during one of our recent weekly zoom chats, and he floated the idea of writing a novel. Apparently several of his screenwriting pals have taken this route, establishing IP and then selling the film & television rights with themselves attached. It’s essentially what I did for Dark Matter to differentiate it form the pack and, after talking with Alex, something I’m considering for a couple of my pilots that have, thus far, failed to gain traction. On the one hand, they’re pretty high concept and I have no doubt they would find an audience; but on the other hand, I would have to sit down and write a novel. Years ago, I was invited to submit a short story to a dark superhero-themed anthology and it took me some nine months to write. I’d hope I’d be a little quicker now, but who knows?
Next year is Sharky’s year!
Thinking of getting back into reading comics. Last time I tried earlier this year, I gave up after checking out three underwhelming series. Any comic aficionados out there able to recommend a great ONGOING series? And, by ongoing, I mean a current run with the same creative team or writer?
That’s the closest I ever came to roughing it.

Apparently, Dana Bash’s lemon squares are to die for!
