    April 27th, 2006Jane EspensonOn Writing, Spec Scripts

    Hi Everyone! Sorry for the long silence. The hotel at which I stayed on vacation had one internet terminal for everyone to share. I didn’t feel I could justify spec script tips under such circumstances. Also, there was important snorkeling that I had to get done. Know what’s cute? Carribean reef squids are cute.

    Apparently, while I was gone, the trades announced my new deal. So I guess it’s official and I can tell you all about it now. It’s a two year development deal with NBC/Universal television. I’m very excited about it, and cannot wait to start work!

    I’m exhausted from travel right now, but actual writing discussion will happen again soon. I promise!

    Lunch (not today’s lunch, but a recent lunch): “Crab ‘n’ dumplin,” a traditional Tobago treat… huge sections of crab stewed in the shell in a kind of green curry sauce, served with pale and doughy flatbread. It’s sold from beach-side stands. Hot and green and intense and very messy. Wow. Magnificent.
