I'm working on a script that may or may not be called Blue Bottles. I'm writing as fast as I can on many scripts because so many people are moving to LA that I want to work with.The other thing that is on my mind a lot of late is my full vision in my left eye.
From 1975 till February of 2010 I was missing some vision in my left eye and I'm having trouble accepting it came back to me in a second.
It's May 3rd as I write this and I just finished the ninth draft (hand written) of Blue Bottles.
I created a mythology for the script that turned out to be folklore that is hundreds of years old.
Years ago I heard a story about bottle trees on NPR. I only caught the last few minutes of the broadcast and spun a mythology out of that for my script. All the stuff I made up to fill the gaps of what I heard turned out to be part of old pagan beliefs. A bit of luck on my part.
Yesterday (May 2nd) in a rain storm I found out why my new old vision had been making me sick. On overcast days I can see floater in my left eye. Pieces of my retina broke lose from my car wreak and cloud my vision. Most of the time I don't notice this but with my expanded vision I see more of these floaters. Not complaining as I'm glad to have it back.

Good luck with all this writing and trust you link up with some of those new creative people to LA. Amazing good news about your sight.
Yes it's wonderful news as the eye doctor I went to after the wreak said I'd never get my lost vision back.
