I’m generally overjoyed when people want to play with me at Pro, but this weekend was something else again. I got to plot with two of my favourite people in the whole world, one of whom I don’t get to talk to very often. (Well, I don’t see either of them as often as I’d like.)

Know the feeling when you’re getting tons of stuff done, you’re all in tune to the extent that you’re anticipating each other’s thoughts, and it’s all just incredible amounts of fun?

When I’m happy I like to let everyone know about it, real and denizens of my headspace alike.

Here’s the storyline we’re working out.

You know what else? My cowriters have been reading our encyclopaedia! Isn’t that fab? (It still makes me excited when I mention “by the way, goblins eat lying down” and people go “I know”.)

Over the weekend my brother and I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. It was pretty high quality all the way through and lots of fun – you could tell they had fun writing and making those action scenes, too. I was in awe of the CGI and design on many of the characters. Hmm – Disney’s logo at the beginning wasn’t bad either. Showoffs.
