the write stuff

i took today off work to do work of another kind. not that i really consider writing work, well at least not at the moment. i have to get draft 2 of the script finished in the next couple of days (i did want it by the end of june but i didn't make it). since i have this grand plan for this year to get out drafts of a feature, a novel and the outline of a tv mini-series i need to work to deadlines. so far i'm on target. go me.

since i tend to do my writing first thing in the morning i was up my regular time and sitting in starbucks by 7.30am. stuff got decided and worked on and i have two possible endings now, but as i like plan A better, i'm sticking with that for the time being.

later in the afternoon i found my way back to my old tv and more doctor who. remember this is also "research".


tom baker's state of decay with companions romana and adric. i thought i had escaped the fetish of the day when revisiting yesterday, but no, vampires make an appearance here as well. but of course, they were overcome.


the ark with william hartnell was interesting. i hadn't seen this before, nor had i come across steve or dodo as companions. it's been an interesting voyage travelling back in time with the doctor.

when the evening came i hightailed it across town to abbotsford and the aviary for dinner with jenn, jamie and tim.
