Sitting here installing updates on my computer, I took the opportunity to complete some homework for Jo-Ann. I just hustled off to her synopses of my scripts and updates on all the pies I'm dabbling my fingers in. I hope this gives her the ammo to get my material in front of the folks who want it. I know they're out there, somewhere!

The independent project is pretty much done at this point. I did a treatment, plus one with an alternate ending. I dragged my feet on the alt ending, because I wasn't 100% behind the requested change. But in this case it's not my job to be behind the change, but to make the change work. So I did my job.

Dammit if I don't really, really, really like a couple of very good character moments that came up out of this alternative. Now I don't know if I want to go back.

That'll learn me to do my job well.

One of the things that Jo-Ann mentioned is that she doesn't feel Jennise and I need to add the Grey's Anatomy spec to our portfolio -- it's strong enough as-is. That relieves both of us, since we've reached a particularly vexing moment that we haven't been inspired to write through. It takes the stress off of producing the spec, and we can attack it at our inspiration and leisure.

Now it's off to the Fork-Tailed Devil ghost story and my new cowboy movie, plus keeping an eye out for opportunities to get our scripts out to places -- now that we're repped!
