Doc & Kid Work blog

Doc & Kid Work blog

I just started a work blog for one of the scripts I'm working on. If anyone wants to check it out in its nascent state, here's the link. The working title of the script is The Doc & Kid Versus the Fifth Dimension Serial Killers or something to that effect. I'm working out the kinks.

The research I'm doing right now involves historical work from the fringe of science. I'm also looking into psychedelic culture and general oddities, so if anyone has a bizarre story of website they can recommend, submit it to the work site. It should eventually grow to become a suitable shrine to the weird a la WarrenEllis.com but more focused.

Judging from the laughter I keep hearing from the couch, Me Write Book: It Bigfoot Memoir--sequel to the year's feel-good missing link autobiography, In Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot--is proving to be a worthy addendum to its predecessor.

Writing from the Ether

Writing from the Ether

I completed a two-day writing seminar this weekend. It took ideas put forth by Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung and others about using archtypes to effectively create a timeless narrative. The seminar was a nice review, but it wasn't really anything that Campbell didn't cover in more depth in The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Regardless of what the class covered, it was interesting to see what other kind of writers are out there. From the small cross-section I saw, I can safely say that my confidence as a writer grew substantially.
