Not a super productive day on the writing front.  Ended up completing all of a single one-liner for Northern Gothic.  Although, truthfully, it's no surprise given how much of a struggle it is to distill a series down a single logline.  This weekend, I'm going to try to focus on the rest of the series…

Yesterday, Akemi and I visited one of our favorite lunch spots - Bar Raval - after approximately two years.  TWO YEARS!   Hard to believe. Their signature latte with a touch of spice. Among their varied conservas, the scallops are our favorite.  Served with a side of chips. The sobrassada, a raw, cured sausage laced…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

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…
