Getting Back Into Things

“Around the World in 80 Days” finally made its way back to my son and I. Vivienne from Serendipity sent it on its final leg around the world, from the UK back to Canada. I’ll be sending it on a shorter North American tour later this month as well, and will have photos up this coming week.

I’ve started another course through UCLA Extension, and this one is Beginning Writing the One-Hour Drama for television. So you can expect to see some comments about TV writing in the months to come.
