https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1458166822260330498 This business is alternately exhilarating and disheartening. Every time I set aside an idea or a script, I can't help thinking back to Dark Matter and how I spent years developing those characters, their respective backstories and arcs, with no guarantee that they would ever come alive for anyone else besides me. And I…
Trek to Koreatown!
With the end of Daylight Savings Time, now, instead of waking up at 6:00 a.m., Akemi is waking up at 5:00 a.m., thus ensuing that instead of waking me up at 6:00 a.m., she is waking me up at 5:00 a.m. Suji, meanwhile, is not a fan and doesn't understand why her meals and bedtime…
You’re Blocked!
Although I maintain a fairly accessible social media presence here on this blog, over on reddit, but especially on twitter (P.S. If you're looking to get in touch with me via linkedin or Facebook, you may be waiting a long time for a response), I've adopted a new approach to online interactions. Namely, the liberal…
November 5, 2021: End of Week Blog Extravaganza!
Hitting the gum with Donna Darko. My left shoulder issues remain, thus eliminating push-ups and dips from my morning routine, but I was back to full running on the treadmill now that my back strain has cleared. I'm reminded of the time Akemi and I were in a Japanese restaurant and an elderly customer got…
November 4, 2021: Fall is Upon Us!
Fall is upon us! I celebrated today by painfully donning five layers of clothing (I shit you not) so that I could take the 30 minute walk to physio where I painfully shed the five layers so that they could work on my bad shoulder. Akemi, of course, accompanied me to ensure my safety. We…
November 2, 2021: Meanwhile, on the home front…
Damnit. I didn't get around to watching any horror movies today. Instead, I spent my afternoon focused on something far scarier - the stock market. Nog season is upon us! It may seem pricey, but remember...this is in Canadian dollars which converts to about thirty-five cents USD. On Sunday, while visiting our local farmer's market,…
November 1, 2021: Time for a horrorific wind-down?
Yatta! Delivered the second draft of the Powder Mage pilot today incorporating the great feedback I received from author Brian McClellan and my fellow producers. One more pass and we'll be set to go. Very excited about this one. It's a hell of a lot of fun. You're going to love it. As I await…
October 31, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Settling down for her afternoon couch nap. The pre-walk check-out. Looking good! Mid-massage. In our matching sweaters. Carpet run...

October 29, 2021: That’s a wrap on this week!
What are some of the best horror movies you've seen in recent memory? I'm thinking of doing a Halloween marathon. Today was a writing and research day. Tomorrow will be the same, but will have the added bonus of a long overdue zoom chat with one of my very favorite writers, Carl Binder! The last…
October 28, 2021: Things are moving along nicely!
https://twitter.com/BrianTMcClellan/status/1453462925667192844 https://twitter.com/BrianTMcClellan/status/1453515198048849921 Exciting, no? Received a great set of notes on the draft so I'll be spending the next few days on rewrites and aim to have the new and improved Promise of Blood pilot out by mid next week at the latest. Meanwhile... https://twitter.com/BrianTMcClellan/status/1453370617139445763 The interview should be out in a few weeks. In…

October 26, 2021: Annual Check-Up Day!
I slept fitfully last night (as is the custom whenever I have to wake up for an early appointment the following morning), waking up at 4:00 a.m. and then trying to fall back asleep for another two hours before giving up and getting up. Today, of course, was the day of our annual check-ups and…
October 25, 2021: Tomorrow, I’ll be poked, prodded, tested, and have my diet critiqued by a nutritionist.
This morning, I completed what I'm calling the "One Step Removed From the Polish" draft of my sci-fi/kpop mash-up for that big production company - streamlining, gamifying, adding a few more fun visuals and characters beats, and front loading a few of the surprise reveals into the pilot. One in particular will have viewers catching…
October 23, 2021: The Saturday Brief!
I'm thinking of getting back into the matinee swing of things. There's nothing I like more than taking in a midday movie in an almost empty theater. Hard to believe it's been over two years since the last time. I want to go back but... is there anything worth seeing? Do tell. Today's Yes/No.... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1451908598699864064…
