Happy Friday!Quick business update:We officially attached a cool producer to my HALF-LIGHT feature spec. We’re putting together a list of directors to go out to next. My if/come deal with the studio for a new sci-fi thriller series should be closing soon. I turned in a concept doc for a potential OWA job on the feature side. I have a feature pitch that we’re hoping to get on the books with a studio soon, a direct result of my interest in putting a modern spin on public domain characters. I had a staffing meeting for a great show. When I look back I’m proud of my output since the beginning of the year but It’s been a ton of unpaid work to (hopefully) get paid work. The idea that a lot of it may never see the light of day is discouraging. But, that is the job. They’re just ideas. I’ll make more of them.The downside of the past few months is that there hasn’t been a lot of time to work on original stuff. Item #1 on that list was written in 2021, items 2-5 are based on other people’s material. When I have a few hours to spare I work on the novel but it’s hard to get any momentum. I have just enough time to look at it and go, “Well, this is terrible,” and think about ways to make it better. There are always ways to make it better.
