Hello. I’ve missed you.

Many things have been percolating in the last month (see how I’m keeping the coffee thing going?). It’s been exciting to work in so many directions at once, in so many areas of the business. But it gets a bit schizophrenic to multi-task so much.

In addition to writing a new screenplay, I’m taking one of my feature projects to comics and developing it as a graphic novel. It’s sci-fi action and involves big robots. Hopefully I’ll be able to talk more about that soon. I continue to write on my young adult adventure novel, which is just plain fun. Let’s just say any day you get to write the words, “The electroguns ripped into the zepplin’s control deck,” it’s a fun day. And then there is the big fish I’m still trying to reel in: my next movie. I sit down with a studio next week to talk about one. Who knows?

Lately I’ve been talking to lots of different people who are telling stories in lots of different ways. Seriously — I’ve sat down with toy companies that are starting entertainment divisions, and film moguls who are investing in web content. The industry is changing so much and so fast, that features are looking at television and television is looking at the web and the DVD guys are um, investing in frozen yogurt shops. Everyone is either laying low or placing crazy bets. As one producer put it, “It’s the wild west these days. There’s no one way to do something.” I try to take comfort in the fact that I am still the storyteller and good stories will always be needed, no matter what technology or venue they are told in.

While I wait for the mighty, slow, rusty wheels of corporations to turn, I’m still launching another series of TWITTERSODES starring that simian badboy, Roger Cosmonkey. This time the story has some more complexity and I’m lampooning a totally different genre. I think you’ll enjoy. I’ll be tweeting out an encore performance of the original Cosmonkey series on JULY 11, just before the San Diego ComicCon. Then after ComicCon, I’ll be launching the NEW SECOND SERIES on JULY 25th. And if you see me at the Con itself, I’ll be a shameless walking promotion, wearing a space monkey T-Shirt and spreading the love with a bag of postcards. Don’t worry, if you follow me on Twitter (@RealCoryEdwards), you won’t miss anything because I will bug you about all of this incessantly.

My creative juices keep flowing, even when my arch villain “Studio Development” dogs my every move. Sometimes all I need to reboot is a dark room and some popcorn. I’m so glad that J.J. Abrams gave us “Super 8” this summer. Bravo. It was like a nostalgic “movie time machine” for me. That’s the STUFF, man. The multiplex is my main source of inspiration and that film has given me rocket fuel for months.

That and all the lattes.
