At this point, our sci-fi script is on hold while we take an indefinite break to work on “Other Things.” What other things?

Well, at the very least, we’re doing some projects for Simply Charlotte Mason in November. Those will be fun and challenging. We’re hoping to push the quality up from previous attempts.

What else? We were working on a short, but the script called for a couple of actors we didn’t have. So we tossed that out, and now, bringing back a catchphrase from the iSundae II days, we are working on short, fun projects. And no, we can’t tell you much about them, because we’ve brainstormed a whole page of ideas and we have no idea which one(s) we’ll pick.

Since the last update, we’ve been tossing around many, many other ideas, but nothing has really clicked with us. So what prompts this update?

We have a new idea that reworks our current script. It’s somewhat different and somewhat new. Some of the biggest problems with the old draft have been solved, but new ones have been added (of course).

We’ll see how it ends up working out. I’m optimistic!

(And keep an eye out for a book review post. I just need to find time to do it.)

Yes, we’re all still here! Sorry it’s been awhile since our last post.
