A bit of a slowdown in terms of Sonnyboo output resulting from paid work and classes. This isn’t a bad thing, as I like keeping my house and car, and I really really like eating. A lot, both in terms of volume of food particles and how much I enjoy the particles I intake. In the meantime, my mind has been creatively working through several problems (I hate buzzwords like “challenges”). Before I have mentioned the upcoming Uncle Pete’s Play Time clips in process. One of them would have been controversial, at least locally. It relied too much on something real and I have decided to revise it before the animation had gotten too much completed. I am averse to controversy at the moment.

My next narrative piece has been fermenting even more. I marinate ideas in the creative sauce that is my boredom. Learning how to properly wrestle ideas from the muse has been a lifelong pursuit. My muse is a wiley minx that much like a real woman, requires different enticements at different times.

As it is, I have not re-written the piece itself in screenplay for in 15 years (almost to the day). I find these days that I write extensive notes, either typed or handwritten, and just think about the piece over and over until it basically makes the writing process a forgone conclusion, a mere formality at best.

I plan on using the holidays to get a lot more of my unedited material edited. The key word? plan….

It’s fun to lose and to pretend
She’s over bored and self assured”
