Day of the Ninja

Today, in case you hadn't heard, is the Day of the Ninja. An auspicious day to break an unintentional month-long silence, especially if you know anything about what I've up to for the past three months. Also, Naruto is a ninja. Never forget.

The short story is that I've been very busy. Pillow Crisis is back in play with our overseers at the studio, and the Lobsters vs. Butterflies outline is nearly complete. I've watched about 30 movies in the past month, read half as many books, and have spent too much time listening to the Naruto Original Sound Tracks. LvB has seeped its way through my skin and into my bloodstream, as I compulsively spend the majority of my day thinking about crustaceans and insects. Even when I would prefer not to.

Over the past two months or so, I've learned a lot about self-employment workflow. Most of my upcoming posts will concern the lessons of making your own work.

What else? I went home for Thanksgiving, won $20 off a single pull of a nickel slot machine, and managed to not buy any clothes. I caught up with a friend who doesn't read this blog, and he said, "You've had a very exciting year."

And 2006 is a bottle of melatonin compared to 2007. My next post will concern the timeline for the next six months. It involves one newly completed screenplay, brand new negotiations with the studios, Europe, Asia, and some very intriguing guest stars. And these aren't even the possibilities - these are just the ACTUALITIES.
