Hey folks! It's been a minute, and a lot is going on In The World right now as we all know. I'm out of the States with my gf for the foreseeable future, which is honestly a lot better than where I would be otherwise.

So, yeah! My next video is going to be about Knives Out.  I would say the script is currently around 3/4s of the way there, but it also needs to be revised in places. Rather than keep y'all waiting indefinitely, I figured I would show you my gratitude by sharing the current draft of the script document. $5 patrons who've looked through my previous scripts will be familiar with my slapdash drafting process.

A couple things about the state of this script: even stuff that seems finished will likely go back under the knife. As a writer, I tend to work on an atomic scale, saying each line out loud a couple times to make sure it all flows well and makes sense. Because I originally intended to record this video before I left the country, it was written with my face in front of the camera in mind. That might not be possible just now, so that will like affect the cadence I want to utilize (especially with the more personal stuff early on, it's a lot more difficult to connect to without a face).

Also, there's a long rant in there about the Democratic Presidential Primary that is almost certainly going to be scrapped because holy shit does that feel irrelevant now!

Not sure what will take its place, especially as the last part of this essay is what's been giving me the most difficulty for the last two months. Regardless, I'm hoping to have this finalized and recorded before the end of the week.

On top of that, I was thinking of recording a feature commentary for Knives Out for $5 patrons? Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in.

Thank you all so much for your patience and support. Big news re: Trans Questioning and other projects is on the horizon. Stay safe, stay quarantined, take care of each other, don't die.

"If the mystery novel is at all realistic (which it very seldom is) it is written in a certain spirit of detachment; otherwise nobody but a psychopath would want to write it or read it. The murder novel has also a depressing way of minding its own business, solving its own problems and answering...
