Eighty-three pages of script. Closing in on the last twenty or so of first draft. This is an on-the-hop mad scramble to finish an adaptation of a life story I've optioned.

Three hundred and thirty seven pages of Reboot Your Fucking Computer, the book about my fifteen years working in information technology. In the next few weeks I'm going to post some excerpts while I go through the process of literary agent hunting. More than likely I'll ebook it and put it on Amazon. Details to follow.

Both projects have been written exclusively on my iPad, the script via Celtx, the book via Pages. I'll be cleaning them up and editing on my MacBook.

Oh, and one other tally: a hundred words of email responses to my old pal Graig Weich, which was really just a waste of time since he wholeheartedly subscribes to the George Costanza life motto "it's not a lie if you really believe it".

Graig took issue with some of my 'facts' and challenged me to correct them. I'll be doing that a bit later this weekend. Wouldn't want to let my fans down, and I can now number Graig/Terri among them.
