“Been busy,” says the bad boy!

I’ve been a bad boy. And yet, like most bad boys I cry, “IT’S NOT MY FAULT.” But it is. I have been so busy I have not updated my blog in forever! Which is a shame because I love going back over my blog and remembering all the things and processes and ideas that shaped the years past.  Instead of apologizing let me update:EQUINOX is very live. I just released page 24! Check it out. I LOVE it! (I got thrown a loop when my letterer had a kid and oddly couldn’t finish the project J I had to re-hire someone with time on their hands and not an infant. I have a new guy: Keith who is great!)WICCA...

Genuis! (did I spell that write?)

Re-writes are a slow tedious business. Even when inspired it's painstaking. A little finagle in the prologue and all this other stuff has to change. Not like a ripple.

BUT as I'm sitting there I'm reminded what a great story Oliver Twist is AND how awesome the music from Oliver! is. (Don't you love I feel compelled to add the exclamation point?) So the ole brain started a tickin'. And I came up with a fun musical concept where I could tell the story of Oliver! as a storyteller and use a bit of music from the show. Honestly I don't know...

No please not another project David!

Yes. Should I apologize? Me thinkest not! I've been terribly busy organizing Wicca, please. We're shooting in January. Oh boy that is soooooon! Got most of the cast and some directors lined up. I think it's gunna be superlatively awesome! BUT new project on the horizon: Blood Wedding. Yes I am re-writing Lorca's genius play as a contemporary bi-lingual novella. How dare I? Indeed! But hopefully the master has a sense of humor because if this turns out even half as funny as it is in my head (and outline) audiences will line up around the block or at least through the basement of the Mexican Restaurant I hope to play at this spring! Wish me luck and...
