Good Things Come in 3's
First (presentable) draft of the adaptation is 95% done- just tweaking three specific scenes.
We're getting feedback on the script that Brett plans on directing this year- the Sci Fi story.
and...
I'm doing a rewrite to finesse the dialogue of one the antagonist in my own script. This is after I had Brett read it. And he liked it. A lot. Enough to want to direct it himself. Before the sci-fi script. Whoa. That's huge. This is the best feedback I've ever gotten from him and the most interest he's shown in my writing.
2010 is starting out with a bang- let's keep the momentum going!

2010
We spent Christmas in Mexico, New Year's Eve with friends, and only had mild headaches in the morning. A New Year's Day success story!
After a much needed break, I'm happy to report that Brett and I completed the first draft of our script- we are set on shooting it this year and we both feel really good about how things are going, the interest we're receiving from people who want to be involved and all that warm fuzzy stuff. The adaptation I'm a co-writer on is going well- waiting to see some rewrites and changes. Good stuff, I tell ya.
I haven't had time to make resolutions or come up with any strategic plan for this year. Maybe that's the next order of business.

Tis The Season
Whirlwind of wonderful things! Where to begin?
Let's start with writing projects:
The script is going in an awesome direction. Brett finally had time to work on it and he turned the whole story around. And he wonders why I fight for his time. I guess I'm competing with paying jobs, so be it. Anyway, things are looking good! Definitely on track and moving forward.
The adaptation is getting closer. The co-writier I'm working with (author of the novel we're adapting) has a game plan in place and some strategies on who to give it to and all the politics involved. Very happy.
On the job front:
Yes, I've been waiting tables. And yes, it's leading to better things. I'm now being worked into a marketing position for the catering dept. I'm very happy about this and excited- I love being out in public talking to people and let's be honest; it's much easier to sell people a slab of ribs or a glass of wine than a car or a mortgage. And if the customer is unhappy? Free dessert always makes people happy.
Brett's been busy- so busy he can't go back to school next term. He's even managed to book me on one of his bigger shoots in January, in addition to a shoot I'm helping out on that's coming up in a couple weeks.
And on a vacation front, I leave for Mexico on the 22nd. Where do you buy a bikini in December? I should've paid attention when all the summer clothes were on clearance. CANNOT WAIT. Photos and video to follow.
We had a visitor a few days ago that wouldn't leave- a fluffy "older" kitten that insisted on making itself at home in our home. Didn't hesitate to run inside when the garage door was open or slip in behind us though the front door. We did the good samaritan thing and posted "found cat" signs. Turns out "Fudgestripe" was really "Chanel" who belongs to the kid a few houses down. She's been returned but he told me that if for any reason he had to give the cat away he'd let us keep her if we wanted. Good. Chanel will regain her new name Fudgestripe and all will be well in teh neighborhood of Pinot Ridge.
Well, I've got to start putting all the food together for the game. Civil War thing. Whatever. I'll report back when I return from Canada.
