’09 Highlights, and the Motto for 2010.

I’ve been holed up in the cave, putting the finishing (for now) touches on our pilot script.  Exciting details soon.  In the meantime, here are my creative highlights from 2009, the year that was:

  • Playing with the Indigo Girls.
  • Landing my first studio development deal, creator credit, and network script sale.
  • Recording, releasing, and performing Common Rotation vs. The Dust Bowl Cavaliers.
  • Writing nine more episodes of WordGirl, along with a live staged reading at UCB.
  • Leading workshops on writing and composing in Fairbanks, Alaska and Farmville, Virginia.
  • Discovering the neighborhood with fresh eyes on two wheels– Anniversary Bikes.

As for 2010, we’re still deciding between two mottos.  We just wrapped up “Time to Shine in ’09.”  Huge success.  Current 2010 contenders: “Super Zen in 2010,” and “Vacation When?  2010.”  I like the notion of extreme balance in “super zen,” and for two non-stop workers like my wife and me, committing to a vacation is perhaps the only way to guarantee a break.  Hmm…  Italy? Ireland?  Stay tuned.
