Spotted at the Hope & Ruin on Sunday.

I’ve started keeping a written log of what I do at the desk all day, and today’s page is already half-full. Inbox 13 after two hours’ grinding, the boards are marked up and I had a small breakthrough on something I’m developing for a friend — one of those small details that appear completely unnecessary internal logic / dressing until you get it and you realise it speaks to the whole thing. And to get it, I had to go against one of my long-standing rules, which is: “hyperspace” is magic handwavium bullshit. Sometimes you have to give up old thinking to get at the new idea, right?

I want to get some notes down later about “blogs,” which also goes against the long-standing rule of us old internet dinosaurs — “blogging about blogging.” But I need to get some thinking out in front of me where I can see it properly and work with it.

Well, this was a surprise. A promo CD from Clay Pipe Music! Doesn’t seem to be online anywhere yet — maybe I’m not even supposed to be posting this! But thank you so much for sending it to me. It’s going into the machine as soon as I’m done typing this.

It’s pushing noon – have already processed some show design material and the new social media assets from our team at Netflix, been insulted by Molly Crabapple, and wrestled the inbox down to 15. I have a phone conference later, but now I must descend into a Batman script and lock down the back end.

The wind is booming over the Estuary. I’m writing this as a weekend note to maintain practice and am going offline as soon as it’s done, back Monday(ish).

I have a script to finish, several development documents to extend or land, and a worsening case of eyestrain, so I’m looking forward to getting the hell out. We’ve gotten the show trailer out into the world, so I can dial back on the social media management and monitoring now and return to a more normal way of life.

I swear to god, there’s got to be a way of making posting from the phone more like posting to Twitter. I need to figure that out. I need to figure a lot out. The whole 2020 process needs some adjusting.

Off to open a bottle of wine.

Gift this morning.

At least one phone conference today, big CASTLEVANIA S3 day, keeping an eye on the weather because I’m on the road this weekend and there’s a big storm coming, already processed a bunch of work emails, marked up the boards and we are full 1000mphclub. And my coffee machine died so I’m waiting on a delivery slot for a replacement because this is NOT a day to be without a decent shot of espresso.

Escaping the house for an hour before I go into a phone conference, sheltering from icy rain and ignoring email

We’re going Full Dark Cosmic over here today. Also racing the clock to finish some stuff before we hit another CASTLEVANIA Season 3 milestone. But who cares I’m in spaaaaaace

Good morning. Today, having already processed the overnight email, I am fiddling around with my newsletter template and intents. I’m taking this coming weekend off, as I’m out of town, so the newsletter comes back on Feb 23, and that gives me a bit of time to rethink it a bit.

Inbox: 3, because I am a powerful monster, filled with coffee and determination. And procrastination.

May be time to revisit the Newsletter Development blogchain.

Late note today. Last night I filed two script drafts and consequently I’m a little fuzzy around the edges today. Especially after the volume of email I’ve processed. I’m still around Inbox 13.

Today I need to be working on something else, but did a bunch of reading instead, and may just sit and think for the rest of the day and see what the wind blows my way.
