Okay, I'm about to lose it. After days of exhaustive online research, I finally found: a) a suitable doggy daycare in Toronto and b) a couple of potential neighborhoods within reasonable driving distance of the studio. Progress! Until today when I realized that I was looking at the wrong studio. To be more precise, the…
February 24, 2011: Nicely formatted. Your grammar is beyond reproach. As for the rest of it – well, you may want to cancel that weekend trip.
With the first drafts of both scripts out, I woke up this morning prepared to do something different, only to spend the day doing something not so different after all. Rob dropped me an email to inform me he'd spoken to a couple of the production's participants. They had a few notes. But, Rob assured…
February 22, 2011: Well, I guess these scripts aren’t gonna rewrite themselves!
Went through several more of the boxes sitting in my crawlspace, threw it more stuff, came across more forgotten treasure: For lunch today - Alex got back to me today and provided some excellent feedback. I started work on implementing the notes on both scripts with an aim to putting out the next draft…
February 21, 2011: Script and bible work! My Vegas line-up! My dieting dogs! And WHY are WE capitalizing RANDOM words?!
I'm simultaneously exhausted and wound up, ready for bed yet hankering to finish work on the half dozen tasks I've been hopping between all day. Because of a minor hand injury I sustained yesterday, I was unable to hit the weights this morning so I skipped my work-out and focused on writing that series bible.…
February 10, 2011: Zipping along! Diet dogs and ruff exercise regimen! February book of the month club reminder!
While our finalizing and closing our deal has been a long, complicated, and laborious process, this script has been just the opposite. I got another nice little run going again today and hit the 41 page mark. Some fun exchanges, a couple of surprises, and two novel action sequences later, and I'm looking at putting…
February 9, 2011: Scripts! Spartacus! And Portly Pups!
This script is going swimmingly. After my traditionally slow start in hammering out the teaser, I got a nice little rhythm going and made some major headway over the past couple of days, hitting the 25 page mark yesterday before coming to a screeching halt this morning. Tricky scene. After spinning my wheels for a…
February 3, 2011: Toronto Day #3!
Today, we were back at the production offices/killing fields to finish beating out episode 2. We arrived to find Rob waiting for us. Also waiting for us was our second treat in as many days, compliments of Mr. Cooper. This time: bagels, cream cheese, and rugelach that, as far as I could tell, came in…
December 24, 2007: Release the Holiday Hounds!
In my family, we like our Christmas trees like we like our dinners: eclectic, colorful, and of occasional dubious taste. Check out this year’s artistic evergreen - all angels and ice skates and sparkly gold violins, decked out like David Arquette hitting the town. Nothing says Christmas like a brightly festooned pine - with the…
