A day late and a dollar short

Hey everybody, sorry for the delay in updating the blog this week. I was racing the clock yesterday on an assignment and by the time I finished, I was just out of gas and needed to get out of my office. 

I got an email from Kickstarter this morning notifying us that today is the one year anniversary of the end of The Switch campaign. Hard to believe it's been a whole year already, I'd never have imagined we'd still be working on the book at this point in time. In hindsight, it was probably a bit arrogant to feel like we were just going to cruise through this thing and leapfrog over any problems that arose in the production, which have been many.  It's been a definite learning experience on many different levels and now, with the help of our new Switch team member Robb Miller, the finish line is closer than ever. I definitely won't miss the ever-present pressure of the project on our shoulders once it goes to the printer. 

So...happy anniversary, everyone!  We appreciate all of you. 

I'm going to be sending out a proper update through the Kickstarter early next week with a download link to the Death Valley graphic novel stretch reward, I've got all the files collated into PDF form and ready for your use and enjoyment. So keep an eye out for that although we'll also be posting a link to it here next week. 

And for your sneak peek this week, it's been a while since I've shared any script with you so I thought I'd go in that direction this week. 

PAGE TWENTY-TWO

PANEL ONE

Close on Electricia's hand, resting on the hood.

Tendrils of electricity are sparking from her fingertips and coruscating across the hood of the car.

SFX: zzzzz

PANEL TWO

Pull back to show--

The car comes to life.

Headlights beam. Hazard lights blink. Interior lights click on. Tail lights shine. Basically, every possible light or glowing surface suddenly says, “HOWDY!!”

Electricia still has her hand on the hood. The couple are still huddled in fear inside the car.

TOMMY: GGAAAHHH!!

PANEL THREE

Close on Electricia's face, genuinely happy, as she leans in the driver's side window.

She's transforming into pure electricity here, the first time we've seen her do this.

ELECTRICIA: No need to thank me. Just pay it forward.

ELECTRICIA: That's what people say at times like these, right? This is all NEW to me!

PANEL FOUR

Electricia, now a lightning bolt in the shape of a woman, flies off.

ELECTRICIA: Have a better night!

That's all for now, my friends. Thanks as always for your support.
