Ravings of a Textual Deviant

This is a roundabout way of saying “Mom, check your email.”

Last fall? Winter? Mom asked me to write a few scenes for Dark Pages I obliged. But there was one final idea that had resolutely failed to work itself out. I wanted to do a werewolf scene; originally, I wanted to do something with Oz from BtVS as an American werewolf in London.

Too anachronistic. Wouldn’t work. Much disppointment, the kind that requires a Ghirardelli cure.

On Sunday, Mom brought An American Werewolf in London over to help me along. Unfortunately, it ended up being anti-helpful; anachronism aside, the last thing I wanted to do was write anything for fear that it might even begin to suggest that wretched film.

Fortunately, I’ve managed to come up with something else instead, thanks to the wonderful people over at the Internet movie database. The scene is anachronistic, but not unforgivably so. Nothing to do with any film by John Landis. Written and delivered this morning. Done.

Now I can start stressing out over next year’s new scenes.
