Update on life and projects

 Hey blog again, I've been trying to keep up with college of late and so I haven't been here. That being said, I'd like to take the opportunity to let you know how things are going in life and the pandemic and whatnot.

I've been working with my friends and boyfriend (Orlando, Curt, and Malcolm) to turn Pastel Bears into a graphic novel and so my output of writing samples hasn't been at the level where I'd like it to be. I'm more focused in learning the ropes of production and seeing a project to completion in some capacity.

Here's the first image I'm posting publicly about this project, some key art or a poster, either definition fits.

Beyond that I've been keeping up with school work and investing in my professional career going forward as a writer, looking into editing services and commissioning artists outside of those I'm already working with (such as above). Always something keeping me busy, haha.

This is formal...hah, way too formal. I guess I just see this is a way to put down what I'm doing in a matter of fact way. It's nice.

Light Distance Relationship

Hi blog! I wrote a story for a prompt in a discord server I'm in, and I wanted to share. We were limited to five pages, and the prompts were: First Dates, Outer Space, Animals, Birthdays, and Childhood Friends. I went with both First Dates and Outer Space. The idea came from the fact that my boyfriend lives in South Africa, while I'm on the other side of the Atlantic in the states. Such a great distance in a long-distance relationship, you leap at any chance to meet. Relish any physical time together. Just to meet each other feels like a journey across space. And so what if an LDR...was a Light Distance Relationship? That was the genesis of the idea and I just ran with it as far as I could. Logline : "Two boyfriends on opposite ends of the cosmos go to great the lengths to meet on a planet for a single hour." LIGHT DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP

Pastel Bears, My Namesake

Checking in here again, I've been writing non-stop whittling away at my Bob's Burgers SPEC and my pilot for " Pastel Bears " and I thought I would talk about my pilot here and why i have it as my namesake for this blog. Logline: "When a lazy koala gets roped into a routine at a failing gym, a personal trainer whose job is on the line helps him unleash his hidden instincts." READ HERE It's a half hour adult animated comedy that touches on sexuality, bear subculture, carnivore/herbivore social dichotomies, predatory/prey power dynamics, identity, and the like. I'm very queer, as everybody should know. I'm into guys, big guys especially. As long as I can remember, I've had that fascination which led me to discovering the bear subculture and getting into those aesthetics. But as you should know, bears in the LGBTQ+ community--the ones who fly underneath the bear flag at least--can be racist, hold values that align with toxic masculi...

Current Projects

1. Nickelodeon Writing Project: Pick out two series from the Accepted Shows List, one live action and one animation, and make the best SPECs I can. For my first SPEC I've chosen Bob's Burgers. I'm into food a lot and it is a major influence in my behavior and sexuality. I have anxiety about food, food creates euphoria, my brain is always drawn towards where the food is. My heart yearns for my stomach to be filled. And so I can relate to the main character Bob Belcher for his affinity with food. My writing specialty is dealing with explorations of sexuality so I want to tap into motivations for how we can show Bob to have a bi experience on screen. His own food seems to be a primary motivator for how he operates. If someone were to sexually interact with his food in front of him, I think it would stand to reason he'd be compelled to join in. After he calls and contacts Linda of course. And this sort of queer experience ties into what I enjoy, I'm into bears....
