My sister, Bear, has finally totally accepted that I'm going pro again, one way or another. I've been waiting for her to draw said conclusion, and abide by it, for almost a year now. When I started writing "Defiled" and expressed my intentions to sell it, she wouldn't discuss it. Period. End of statement. She'd actually go cower in the office, hoping I wouldn't follow her and talk about it. This afternoon, she comes out of the office and proclaims, "WGA is going on strike. Everyone is filming back-to-back seasons, even SVU -- they're filming nine and ten concurrently. No one's getting hiatus...the industry is freaked." Okay. I already knew all that...but here's the important thing: She researched it on her own and she came out and said it, and thought it was important for me to know. Then, we started discussing the situation. I explained that, by the time the WGA strike is over, I'll have no less than three spec scripts (which is what I really need to get an agent) -- and I'll be ready to go with them, because I'm not union. (Yet.) All the WGA people aren't supposed to write anything while they're on strike. Plus, by that time, SVU will probably be completing a wide story-arc, which means (hopefully) they may be ready for something new. Like "Defiled," "Unconditional," or "Blaze." I feel a lot less edgy and anxious over it all. I finally feel like I can concentrate on writing, and not worry about selling for the moment. At least until the situation with Writers Guild shakes out. With Adam Beach signed for a 6-year contract, if the show's ratings hold (please God!), then I have more of an opportunity. Finally. Something I can construe as a more hopeful situation. -------------------- Happiness is: A third-generation Glock 34 (9-mill), with 5 extra nine-shot clips and a speed loader! * * * Avatar courtesy LSMunch.

It seriously is a strategy game, and people who talk with me about it call me 'cold, calculating and ambitious,' like that's a bad thing. LOL! I'm determined. "V for Vendetta" rocks. It's one I'd like to buy, eventually. My sister's seen it about 8 times. LOL! I have to admit, I've seen it a few times and notice something different each viewing. -------------------- Happiness is: A third-generation Glock 34 (9-mill), with 5 extra nine-shot clips and a speed loader! * * * Avatar courtesy LSMunch.

You met him? You met Teh Belz? The one-and-only Richard Belzer, personal hero and greatest actor/comedian/writer/talk-show host/radio host ever?

Munch's Rabbi & Keeper of His Deepest Secrets Group: Admin Posts: 3,879 Member No.: 23 Joined: 13-August 06	M25, I think Sterling meant Peter Hermann, who's starring in Eric Bogosian's "Talk Radio." Sterling, I'm sooooo glad you got pictures! Yay, you!!! Not to worry, if you'd slipped him a copy of "Defiled," he would have had to burn it and pretend not to know about it. It can only be submitted via an agent. I deeply appreciate the thought, though -- you ROCK! I guess that means you had a pretty good trip, eh? Seriously, I'm thrilled to got to see Mariska's hubby. Gawd, he is so cute! -------------------- Happiness is: A third-generation Glock 34 (9-mill), with 5 extra nine-shot clips and a speed loader! * * * Avatar courtesy LSMunch.

I always go to NYC hoping to meet some actor/actress x3 Course I never find one but hey it's fun to pretend I might one day But I agree, you must show pictures. And yes, he is cute <33 -------------------- I've been pretty civilized these past few years, but people still see me as an unpredictable cat ~Munch, People's magazine

Munch's Rabbi & Keeper of His Deepest Secrets Group: Admin Posts: 3,879 Member No.: 23 Joined: 13-August 06	Ooooooooooh, fun! Seriously. A local police lieutenant has agreed to meet with me, regarding "Unconditional." It might happen late this week or the first part of next week. He's realy sweet, we're already on a first-name basis, and he's willing to give me as much time as I need if I'll meet him down at our equivalent of "One PP." I've got John in all kinds of trouble right now, and I need the wunnerful cop to help me get his career and life back. (I have a few ideas of my own, but you know how I like to makes things nicely twisty.) At least, this time, when I see the cop I'll have a better opening line than, "Is that Glock a .40-cal or a 9-mill?" LOL! All joking aside, this will finally get "Unconditional" off to a rapid start. -------------------- Happiness is: A third-generation Glock 34 (9-mill), with 5 extra nine-shot clips and a speed loader! * * * Avatar courtesy LSMunch.

LOL! Sure, when it's finished you can read it. It wil be a while before it's finished, though, since I have to meet with Omar the Officer -- then I have to write the thing. I have been working on a detailed treatment, though, as far as I can without having verified things with the BPD. In my computer, stealin' my script! LOLOLOLOLOLOL! You are teh funny! Sexual favors? If anyone's gonna pimp this thing, it's me -- especially after writing "Dark Delicacies." Bwahahahahahaha! Care for some champagne, Belz? ::: as if! ::: "Biotch"? ROFL! Every time I hear that, it cracks me up, because my totally naive sister still refuses to believe it refers to anything except someone who works in the biotechnical field. (Yes, she does have her head up her backside at times!) -------------------- Happiness is: A third-generation Glock 34 (9-mill), with 5 extra nine-shot clips and a speed loader! * * * Avatar courtesy LSMunch.
