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 my favorite places and living in San Antonio right now, I miss it a lot. So it was awesome to put together a program that's a little love letter to Pittsburgh.
That wasn't why it was tough though! It was hard to write because everyone that read it got REALLY invested in the story and had an opinion as to how it should turn out! We got a lot of internal feedback and comments from CBH that added a lot to the writing process and stretched it out over a much longer time than normal.
And then, after that, I had to work on 10-7 which was also an incredibly deep and touching story! Even now Steve and I both feel that these three episodes coming up are going to really impact people's lives in a great way!
Until then though, 10-4 Good Buddy visits some beloved characters we haven't seen in a while and takes us to ANOTHER new place where we've never been!
Hope you enjoy it!
