On a personal note...
I know, I know... I've been slacking with the posts... surprising that I get a hard time from readers... who knew I had readers?... anyway, I have somewhat of an excuse...
...I've been busy getting engaged. Yep, that's right, engaged. Researching diamonds and settings, figuring out how to actually pop the question and then taking the plunge has taken up much of my time over the last two months...
So I popped the question last Friday night and then told Stephanie that she had 20 minutes to get ready for a two night vacation... needless to say, after being completely taken aback and surprised by my proposal (she said yes, by the way), she had a hard time packing in that short of time... we ended up going up to Cromwell, north of NYC by about an hour and fifteen minutes, and stay at the Cromwell Manor Inn. The next day we went to Storm King... anyway, a great, memoriable weekend.
As for "Produced By Jimmy Wade", I've continued to get great feedback on the script and have a meeting coming up in October that, if all goes well, will give me some other news to pass on... but good things come to those who wait.
Lastly, I've started my next script... very daunting to think that I'm going to be diving into another story, about politics no less, but I think I've cracked a way to tell this tale. One of those stories that I really don't have a choice about... I have to tell it. I do think there is a market out there for this but a deadline of the '08 presidential election is hanging over my head. Nothing like a little pressure to get the creative juices flowing...
Thanks for reading and I'll post soon... I promise KT. EB

Flicking the Switch...
At my day job, they put on a talent show...
... and as I have the past two times, I'm performing a song on guitar and singing. Haven't been playing much at all the past year as "Produced By Jimmy Wade" has been taking up most of my "creative" time outside of the office.
So for the past two weeks, I've been dusting the rust off and picking up the guitar at least once a day... tomorrow is the big day!
Now, on the title of this post... "Flicking the switch"... this is a phrase that I use for myself when getting ready to perform. Hopefully, when performing (either on stage acting, singing, dancing or out on the field playing a sport) there comes a moment when you can "flick the switch"... now, what I mean by that is if you've prepared yourself, flicking the switch is taking all of that preperation, throwing it out the window and performing. The performance (whatever that may be) could turn out great, OK or burn in flames but at least when I, personally, flick the switch, I know that I leave everything out on that stage no matter what. It's taking a leap of faith that you will perform when needed.
Athletes call this being in the "zone"... and I think that's a good way to put it. So I'll be flicking the switch tomorrow evening... wish me luck! EB
