Oh, Yeah — I Have a Blog, Don’t I?

A little while ago, the Missus, of all people, called me on the fact that I hadn’t posted since Monday night.  I suppose I have no excuse.  Well, I do — there’s the whole day job/fatherhood thing.  And the video game I’ve spent way too much time playing.  But I haven’t touched the Wedding Comedy since [...]

It’s Official….

… I am completely, 100% sick of the Wedding Comedy, the latest (and hopefully final, for now) draft of which I just emailed, technically making my Monday deadline even though we’re at least four hours past the end of the work day.  At this point I’ll take what I can get.
I have this terrible feeling [...]

Here We Go Again…

The good news is that the producers really like the new draft of the Wedding Comedy — they think that with one more polish, it will be ready to take out to talent. 
The bad news is that they want the polish by Monday.
At least they supplied me with several pages of nit-picky notes which will [...]

Finished (For Now)

 
 So yesterday I handed in the revised draft of the Wedding Comedy, all polished up, dumbed down, and minus eight pages to bring it in to a low budget friendly (or at least friendlier) 102 pages.  Any good?  Who knows — I’d like to think so, though at this point, my opinion is the last [...]

Sprinting

As much as I’d like to, for the past few days I just haven’t had the time to write a decent blog entry.  I’ve promised the producers the latest draft of the Wedding Comedy by Monday, so I’m working as hard as I can… WHEN I can: between the day job, the Peanut and the [...]

Breaking Up the Band

This week I found out that my writing group is going on indefinite hiatus, at least in its current incarnation. Our mentor/moderator Tim is bowing out for the foreseeable future; my buddy Dave had already decided not to continue at all, and I recently realized that I wouldn’t be able to attend anymore anyway after [...]

Bad Dad Strikes Again

We’ve been dreading it like cancer — day care for the Peanut.  It finally happened today.  The crying began last night and continued all the way over to the day care center.  The sound of that weeping broke my heart even further than it already was.
The baby, on the other hand, couldn’t care less; she just kept sleeping [...]

Citizen Game

So the Missus’ sister visited again for the three day weekend, providing me with the much-needed opportunity to get some serious work done on the Wedding Comedy rewrite.  I’m at the Act II break now; hopefully by tomorrow night I’ll have completed this first pass through the revised draft.  With any luck, everything will be [...]
