Hiatus

Season One is done.  There will be a brief hiatus before Season Two begins.

I am still unemployed. I feel that I am about to cross that bridge into not-funny-anymore territory very soon.  Don't misunderstand.  I am working a lot.  I have several projects in the works, all of which are exciting and new and almost cripplingly ambitious.   Also, one of my scripts made it into the second round of consideration for the Sundance Screenwriters' Lab.  The deadline to send in my final draft is very soon so I've been working diligently on my rewrite.  (Now I get to say that I have the near-approval of Sundance.  Or, more succintly, "SUNDANCE, MOTHERFUCKER.")

To top it all off, I'm moving to a new apartment at the end of the month.

The Captive Man has been good for me.  It keeps me busy, for one thing, but it also allows me to practice and grow.  Here are a couple of things I've learned:

1.  The best method for applying peanut butter to your dog's balls is to use the back side of the spoon - the convex side.  This allows for a smooth peanut-butter-to-scrotum transfer.

2.  I love writing.  Truthfully, I've always known this about myself but I suppose now I've learned to extract joy from it.  To paraphrase Bradley Whitford, in my everyday life I feel like I'm swimming against the current, when I'm writing I feel like I'm surfing.

We'll be back soon!
