Took me long enough to read it but I finally did. Interesting concept- interesting which characters you chose to do what. Who is Walker Lockridge anyway? How is he related to the Lockridges- his parents are....?!?

Well it's been a crazy couple weeks, as usual. More family stuff going on than I can begin to even describe. I will post as soon as I can though. I wish I could write more frequently, but it's a tough time right now. I'm not stopping though and the new episode will be up soon.

It's ready in my head, so it's coming..

It's coming. Things have slowed down on the personal life front (FINALLY!) but tomorrow is a busy day. Look for it to be posted either late tomorrow night or Friday. Maybe, if I have the right amount of time to put into it, I'll get it up tonight.
I have to say though it's time to get more of the characters that haven't appeared in the new episodes yet on and get their stories moving so that will be the next one. The SB stuff has to keep moving for the London stuff to climax properly.

I wish Melissa were still reading, because if she read this episode, I think she'd know EXACTLY where I'm about to go. Hint, hint.

How coincidental that you say that. I'm writing the next episode right now.

LOL I've been a busy bee but things should get back on track this week. I always have stuff going on in my personal life that you guys aren't clued in on and believe me, this last year and a half there's been a [!@#$%^&*]-ton. I was just brainstorming episodes today on a long walk. I have quite a few climaxes coming up until each storyline finally reaches its pinnacle. But everything that I've tried to clue you guys in on is about to start coming together. For those of you that followed from the beginning, I'll be curious to know if you saw any of these developments/denouments coming. Most were planned from the beginning, but 2 of them I decided on as I started writing (one of which I officially decided on as I started up again this year). But the important things that I've been cluing you guys in on from the beginning are what's coming this week. Now would be a good time for a re-read, since I've taken a short break. The more invested (or re-invested) you are in the stories, the bigger & better payoff you'll get.
I do, however, now understand why soaps are written by TEAMS and not just one writer. My GOD, it's A LOT of work!

Yes, Kirk lost his leg in the original run. I believe it happened off-screen, but when Joseph Bottoms briefly returned in 1990 and kidnapped Nikki Alvarez, Kirk sported a patch and a wooden leg. It was the Conboy era of camp. I hadn't addressed it and wasn't going to, but I the line was too perfect and I could hear Maura West spitting it out so deliciously as only she can.
Having a cast crawl and actors for me, as a writer, is a HUGE part of what motivates me. When I write dialogue, I hear the actor's (and the character's) voice in my head and that is what inspires the lines. I've tried to keep alive certain historical aspects in the dialogue, such as CC addressing Eden and Kelly as Princess and Kitten and Cruz calling Eden darlin. Things like that. Now that I've gotten a lot of the story out there written, it seems a natural progression for the serious to be heavier in dialogue. It's different from the style I was previously writing but I'm enjoying it thusfar.

By re-read mode, I meant that I always (used to) re-read my episodes immediately when I post them, then fix any and all typos I'll find. The fingers and the brain don't always connect- I actually prefer to write by hand (which is how I started doing this years ago, before I had the internet).

I edited Joann's line already sb34, as I did with the Gina/Lily exchange . I am back in re-read mode, but I do like to post the episode immediately when I'm finished because I'm lucky enough to have people waiting to read & comment on it. Feedback is a HUGE part of the joy of writing this thing.
Oh and I made a comment on FB today about bringing SB back on the net and Nic Coster commented and all but said he'd do it.
I'm more interested to hear your thoughts, but as a former copy editor myself, I always appreciate editing notes.

Don't worry, I have WAY too much story planned not to write it. It's kicking it off that's always the difficult part.

Greg had a tough, crazy, and unusual weekend that ended with him planning exactly how his stories are going to go and exactly how he is going to get certain actors and characters to start interacting based on where the stories are going. It became pointless and painful to start this back up on the anniversary of the death of my beloved 'SB' so instead, I'm starting it on the Anniversary of the first Monday that SB didn't air, which was the 3rd Monday in January (Martin Luther King Day).

To be clear, six weeks after I posted that last comment, my father died from Pancreatic Cancer. June 26, 2013.
