Done! Kinda

This morning ends with episode six in its final form. I do suspect a full read-through to cause a little re-jumbling of the ending, but the whole thing is together and I think it holds up. Off to work. Share Me

Ep Six Nears the FInish Line

Another good morning sees episode six drawing near its end. The shape of it is done, though I still need to smooth the last 1-15 pages again. Then it will be time for the full read-through. Then it will be truly “done.” Except, of course, there’s the beta reading, and the copy editing. This leaves […]

Basic Building Blocks of Support

Yes. A good long morning in the chair has seen me run through more than half of episode 6 in one setting, and for the first time I think it all flows really well. Perhaps one more day and the whole thing will be basically done. Perhaps. The “final” enabling process to this successful resorting […]

Me and My First World Problems

It’s sitting back in his queue and we’ll […]

Collaborating Again!

John Bodin and I are, once again, committing collaboration on another piece inspired by the Indy 500. These are great fun to write. First, I think John’s a great idea guy, and so that’s just fun to be around. Second, writing about the 500 reminds me of my grandfather, who made his living running a […]

A Fresh Set of Problems

Since I’m now essentially working on two episodes at once, I’ve decided to compartmentalize my near-term the work into three buckets. Prior to this morning, I had bucket 1) Fix up short story to make it, you know, like, a full short story (with a point of being all by itself), and I had bucket […]
