Time is getting tighter, however, until I HAVE to have these things done, and they just aren't all coming so quick, and I can't force them. Ah, well. They'll be there soon enough, and I'll just have to work faster on other things later.
I sat yesterday for hours staring at a screen, blocked (and, as usual, wasting time online hoping something would jog something). I'd finished the first 2 episodes of Spacemen from Space (of 6) and while I knew the way the plot in general had to move, I couldn't picture the exact scenes I needed to get it there. Of course, at around 3 in the morning, as I was falling asleep and about to go to bed, something happened, and in 10 minutes I was able to quickly outline the next episode and a half. Maybe I just needed to be drowsy.
And all else also percolates and arrives bit by bit . . .
I was thinking that the next week would interfere with getting work done, as I have to be The Brick's "executive producer" on the Tiny Theater festival next weekend, but as I'll be sitting around The Brick, supervising the rehearsals/techs, I can probably stay in the dressing room and typing most of the time.

And a couple of pictures of our little monsters -- here, on Berit's foot again:
And once again in conflict over their favorite pillow on their favorite chair:
And finally, here's what it's like trying to write a script at home with a VERY VERY needy kitty who doesn't care if his attentions are distracting:
