Just in case you’re wondering, my rewrite of Hollywood Car Wash is going well, and I’m on track to be done with the whole edit on time. I just didn’t want to say too much about that for fear of scaring it away, kind of like when you’re driving on the 405 going south at 4:00 pm and there’s no traffic, and you don’t really want to say something like "Hey, wow– there’s no traffic!" because you know the minute you do, 4,000 people are going to suddenly decide they need something in Long Beach, and they’re all going to flood the freeway at the same time, so instead you look over to the other person in the car and go "Hey– this is a great Peppermint Mocha," so as not to anger the gods of traffic. Yeah, the rewrite is very Peppermint Mocha right now, if you know what I mean.
Speaking of rewrites, like– how long was that sentence? Frighteningly, one of my English teachers from high school reads this blog, and is right now shaking his head in disbelief. Hi Mr. Brady!
