Next!

Ever since I've finished my screenplay Too Many Tonys I've been trying to decide what project to work on next.

I've got several in the queue, including the one I mentioned here, previously--Citizen Z. E. D.--which I'm really excited about, and terrified of, all at the same time.

I debated with myself about starting that one, but my better nature reared up and said, "No. You are not ready."

So, I've been looking over the other ideas I have lined up, and they've all been shuffling their feet and avoiding my gaze, hoping I won't call on them.

Finally, though, one has stepped forward and announced, "I'm next."

Therefore, I'm going to start developing this idea, which is a TV show based on my novel, The Sorcerer's Daughter, which I'm going to call The Sorcerer's Daughters. It's set several years after the end of my novel, and even though that work will never see the light of day, it can inform and clarify the back stories of several of the characters in this story, and save me from having to start from square one creating the milieu it's set in.

Which makes me happy, as I'd hate to see all the work I put into creating that world and writing that novel go to waste.

My learning how to use Apple's Final Cut and Motion software proceeds apace. I've been playing with Motion lately, creating the video I mentioned here previously using my song "Far From the Sun." I've got a ways to go on it--I'm nearly at the end of the song but it'll need to be refined, retimed, rethought, etc., etc. Maybe in a few weeks I'll have something worth sharing with the world. Rest assured that if I do I'll be sure to announce it here so you can click over to see it for yourself.

Of course, nothing's stopping you from visiting the link to your right to at least hear the song--plus several others--right now. Hint, hint . . .
