Thought I'd give you a mini-blog post...

Currently I'm doing revisions on episodes 9 and 10 and doing outlines for 11 and 12 and when I spoke with Steve last, he was doing the VO on episode 4.

And let me tell you right now - this season's going to end where no other season has EVER ended before. And no bulldozers!

Had to say it. It's my duty and responsibility! So happy birthday -may you be blessed with a year full of God's grace and mercy as well as His blessings on you, your family and everything you do!

And have an awesome day! :) Glad you're there to pave the way before me! *grins*

I finished the second drafts of 7 & 8 this week, we put some more work into the military project, and next week we're going to be brainstorming 9 & 10. AND we have some surprises coming up for you that I think you'll enjoy. ;)

You know, I just turned in a first draft of 11-8 and let me tell you, this might very well be my favorite episode of this season. It's exciting!

:)

How is everyone out there in Gileadland??? Have a good Summer?

I've been working all Summer long on some new things at CBH as well as Season 11. In fact, right now I'm working on episodes 11-7 and 11-8.  The first four episodes have already been recorded and I know that Steve's working on the post production on those. 

And speaking of S11, what do you think should happen this season?  Any storylines you can't wait to find out about?

And there's this new thing that CBH has put together - I'm working on that too. Hopefully you'll be seeing what that is soon.

So there's the latest from me...how about everyone out there? What's up with you guys?

It's up. Anyone out there? Just checking!

I know I know - two blog posts in two days from Lori. It's almost too much to consider!

I thought you all might be interested in knowing that we had a brainstorming session today. As you may recall, Mr. Fornof and I are currently working on finishing up Season 10 - and this morning we had a discussion of Season 11. Where do we want to go? What do we want to achieve by the end of the season? Where are we looking for future seasons?! Future seasons? Really?!

Well, we came up with a lot of VERY interesting things that I'm sure you're going to enjoy in the season! And that's as Cheesy Teasy as I'm allowed to get before Steve O'Dell gets on a plane and makes a trip to Texas to stop me!!

But I just thought you all might like to know that. It was VERY interesting!

Now - go have a great weekend - and enjoy episode 10:4! That's an order Good Buddy! :)

Well, we're well and good into the season now and we're getting into a block of "Lori Episodes"! I didn't realize as I was writing that so many of my episodes were going to be right in the middle of this season all bunched together!

10-4 Good Buddy, as you know from the Funcast, is a play on the fact that it's episode four of season 10. I took the challenge to do an episode on friendship. And if you've listened to the Funcast, you also know that Marcy's going to be making an appearance in this episode. But we're not going to visit Brooke at college - we're going somewhere else!

Next weekend "Sandcastles in Storms" airs and I've got to say, that one and the other half of it, "Is God in Pittsburgh" were two of the most difficult episodes that I've ever written for DGL! They were a lot of fun because, as you may or may not know, I grew up just a little ways north of Pittsburgh and I love Pittsburgh! It's one of ...

I just wanted to drop a quick line to everyone and let you know that Steve and I are back from NRB. He's back in good old MI and I'm back in San Antonio. The time together was fun - it was fantastic seeing Kelli and getting to actually be in the same room together, but if anything, it showed us that no matter how far apart we are, God's got us working solidly together for a purpose. We met many people at NRB who were surprised that Down Gilead Lane and the podcast come together so smoothly with our 'staff' so far apart - Mr. Fornof in CO and Mrs. Ritchie and Steve-O in MI and myself in San Antonio. A few people were convinced that we really were all in the same building because everything comes together so great! Just goes to show that when you're working with God's purpose in mind, the distance doesn't matter.

We did have a great time and we're working now on when we'll be able to have a podcast for the upcoming S10. It's going to be a fantastic season. I'm very excited about thi ...

Just curious whether people will see it here first on the blog - or on the messageboard. *g*

Enjoy it!
