I never managed to keep up with this show, but I know a few of my friends got hooked on the Donnellys. NBC has uploaded two unaired episodes for your viewing pleasure. “In Each One a Savior” and “All of Us Are in the Gutter” can be found at NBC.com.

Nick, get at your boys about this.

Busy week out here.  All my burners are full and there’s a number of things in the queue that need my attention.  Same is it ever was.   I’ve been using a 2007 date book this year — as I’m notoriously unorganized — and it’s actually turning out to be a life saver.   Put simply, if I don’t write things down I’ll forget.  I have the memory of a tiny animal — it’s horrible.

I’ve been spending some time the last couple weeks planning for San Diego Con.  The anthology I’m editing is dropping at San Diego and it’s important to parlay that momentum into the Next Thing.  I’m developing a comic book pitch that may or may not prove to have legs.  Need to get the pitch off to the usual suspects, a few trusted friends that I respect, to get notes.  Funny, my younger brother now falls into that category.  He just wrote and shot a short film with a childhood friend that impressed the hell out of me.   Gets me excited about the future.

I just received an e-mail from my old screenwriting professor.  He sent me the longline for a screenplay he co-wrote.  It sounds like the mutt’s nuts.   A very intense, topical story.   I’d expect no less from the man that taught me how to write stories.

You know, that gets me thinking.  I haven’t a read a book on the craft of writing in ages.   It wouldn’t be a bad idea to read something new (see above: memory) and stretch those brain muscles.  Any of my writer friends that are reading this, post in the comments section if you’d recommend anything.  I’ve read all the “classics”, I’m more interested in something new.
