Amazing weekend and my brain is cooked, baked, fried, and ready for the trash compactor. A good writing break but truly, I’m eager to get back to writing/finishing this book.

Saw all sorts of friends, colleagues, etc. Hung out with kradical a bit as he sold copious quantities of his awesome Farscape graphic novel and comix. (A definitely MUST read if you’re a fan of Keith and/or Farscape).

Best panel: “We Control The Vertical” A good dozen TV Writer/Producer types discussing the challenges of writing for what I’ve come to consider the best medium of all for strong story.

Kewlest encounter: Stan Lee
2nd coolest: Martin Wood and Amanda Tapping
Best teaser-trailer: Stargate Universe

Of course, my new R2 pal was truly the best of the best.

More photos on my LJ Gallery and a few more over at my facebook.

Ready to Stop Circling and Start Rewriting? If you've got a draft and a diagnostic full of red flags, you don't need more coffee and willpower. You need a plan, a structure, and a room full of writers doing the work alongside you.

The Screenplay & TV Pilot Rewrite Workshop runs July 11 through September 26, 2026 — twelve Saturdays, 2:00 PM ET, live on Zoom. Small group. Real feedback on your actual pages, every week. A six-phase framework that moves from structural diagnosis all the way through line-level polish.

You'll leave with a rewritten script. Not a half-finished revision. A rewritten script. Registration is now open.

Ready to Build Dialogue That Actually Works? All of this is easier said than done. (Yes, pun intended.) Which is why we do it together, live, with your actual characters.

Build-A-Dialogue is a free three-hour workshop — Saturday, June 6th, 2:00–5:00 PM ET, live on Zoom. No theory lectures. No homework. Just writing.

Hour 1: Voice. Hour 2: Subtext. Hour 3: Conflict. You'll leave with completed exercises, a Character Voice Sheet you can reference for your entire manuscript, and a Subtext Diagnostic for testing any scene in your current work. Registration now open.
