The Long Awaited Update

First of all, if you didn't see "The Good Wife" last week, watch it on the CBS website. It's the episode I wrote and it will be up until next Tuesday. After that, you can watch it on www.hulu.com. It is called "Unplugged."

And after that, go to our book store's new website and start ordering there instead of Amazon. Think of it as supporting a small community in the Appalachian mountains, where it is a hub for congregating. Or think of it as keeping Caleb in jeans and tennis shoes.

Next go to the photo album of Caleb's First Communion, which I'm about to upload.

By the time you're done with all of that, I'll be back with job news. I am in L.A. this week and next, interviewing for staff jobs and pilots and such. Next week the major networks will announce their schedules, and then I'll know more. (There are shows where I like them and they like me, but if they don't get picked up, it's a moot point.)

Sorry I don't make it here often for updates. Feel free to "friend" me on FB if you want daily updates.

I'll be back.

I don't think that's quite the link you meant...

My blogging friends really liked your episode. By the way, was this your first or second "Good Wife" ep? Because they thought they'd seen your name on a previous one.

God be with you in L.A. Another friend and I were discussing recently how something sick and dark seems to be at work in Hollywood sometimes -- even the shows that don't go over the top with sex and violence often communicate the most awful despair and nihilism. Anyone and anything good is systematically destroyed, and one can come away from an episode of a show one once loved feeling emotionally drained or even scarred.

All that melodrama to say, we need you out there BADLY, so I'll be praying extra hard.

Gina: I started one and then had to change to another because I couldn't get out of NC after the ice storm. But because the paperwork had gone through, it shows up on my imdb. I don't know whether or not I got story credit.

I fixed the link -- sorry!

Glad to see you here again. I did watch the episode and wondered if it was the one you wrote. Great show!

[Marie]

If you wrote for the Good Wife, why aren't you staying on staff there?

[Karen Hall]

They wanted to put me on staff, but had no room in the budget. Times are very hard in show biz, too. I may be writing another freelance episode, though, if I have time.
