That&#8217;s not a metaphor. I&#8217;m renting a sixty foot steel structure designed by a mad scientist in the 60&#8217;s. It has electrified razor wire around the perimeter, an underground entrance and a retina recognition system. Oh, and a Starbucks nearby. I&#8217;m embarrassed to admit it, but I usually just end up going over there for coffee and writing in the store. It&#8217;s really better that way, since I can admire the tower from the outside. The rooms inside are terribly decorated.<\/p>\n<p>And besides, I&#8217;m not allowed to blog about the project I&#8217;m writing on anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously with that &#8220;mysterious&#8221; job, I was finishing a new draft of Tony Leech&#8217;s animated sci-fi film &#8220;<a href=http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0765446\/>Escape From Planet Earth<\/a>.&#8221; It was a major overhaul, changing key parts of the plot and creating whole new scenes. I didn&#8217;t get a lot of sleep for a couple of weeks as both of these projects overlapped.<\/p>\n<p>I continue to have very encouraging meetings about my fantasy film dream project. I&#8217;m meeting with some of the top producers in the business, and reactions have been very encouraging.  Soon, VERY soon I must pick a producer so that we can take this out to studios. I&#8217;ve also been sent a script to consider directing. It is a project everyone in town knows about, and it would put me in business with some great people&#8230; that&#8217;s all I can say. <\/p>\n<p>But until then, it&#8217;s back to the secret workshop high atop the electrified mad scientist tower.<\/p>\n<p>Or the Starbucks.<span class=\"frame-outer  \" style=\"float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\"><span><span><span><span><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2388\/2299\/1600\/starbucks_cup-1.jpg\"><img  src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2388\/2299\/200\/starbucks_cup-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I think I need a Carmel Macchiato right now anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t posted in a while because I&#8217;ve been in my top secret tower writing.
