This is how it happens with me …
I’m bee-bopping along, quite enjoying myself as I fill page after electronic page with magic and blood, evil and Saints, everything wrapped in the suspicion-driven world of 5th Century Constantinople as the Church declares war on itself, Old Rome under attack from the upstart New Rome, Christianity splitting in two, all of it seen through the eyes of my tortured, trapped immortal Martuk.
And then I stop and slam out a Network-friendly sitcom pilot.
Wait, what?
Yeah, I know, right? Even surprised myself with that one. But there it was, a half-hour sitcom. And a damn funny one at that. Had the idea on a Thursday, wrote it on Saturday, rewrites on Sunday, Pitch Doc including future episodes and Season One Arc on Monday, in the hands of my attorney on Tuesday, a conference call with WME (William Morris Endeavor) coming up after the 4th.
It’s just, like, what? How did I go from flesh being peeled from a screaming Priest to yukking it up with four friends in Austin, TX?
Hell, even I don’t know how my brain works sometimes. (^~^)
