An animated job may loom on the horizon. Such a novelty these days, though my agent reported more cartoon shows are surfacing than over the last three years. A studio exec. wanted to see old school Warners stuff. I sent along an Animaniacs script that never got produced, but has been well-received as a writing sample. Called "The Big Nap," the Chandleresque parody featured the Warner Bros. as private eyes and Hello Nurse, naturally, as the femme fatale. Hi jinx, as they saying goes, ensued.
On the body front, my shoulder really aches from yesterday's physical therapy. The therapist massaged, kneaded and stretched various cuffs, muscles, and joints to loosen the pinched tendon. Clearly, not so easy. Plus there was homework.
As to walking, that's out this weekend. The knee is sore and needs icing. And so, back to the keyboard to finish up a short story as rain falls gently outside and the neighborhood youth serenade the block with a symphony of bass-heavy rap and horn honking.
Welcome to WRITE ENOUGH!

I'm jealous, execs get to read all the good stuff! But that's a good sign, maybe he wants to do something more in the old Warner Bros vein of animation... hmmm...
Entertainment has certainly been out of fashion on the jobs I've recently worked.
No message, no educational content, no recycling, just something funny. That would be sweet.
The toy company that says it wants to do this show with "a strong comedy component" is looking for contrast against other major toy tie-in projects that they are ramping up. All of this so that the usual watchdog groups won't loathe them as much as they might.
