So there I am with the gun in my mouth when the phone rings.<\/p>\n

It’s amazing what a week can do, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

The sub-heading of this here bllllaaawwwg is “the once and future projects” but I’ve learned over the past couple years that it’s much easier to talk about the past in this business than the future or even the present. This is for the simple reason that it’s amazing what a week can do.<\/p>\n

The higher the stakes the less you want to make too early an announcement about anything. At least five or ten years ago when I was just a schmuck doing my own thing<\/a> I could prattle on about whatever whim I was having that day and at the end of the month I probably had a new cartoon to show for it. But now… With other people involved… With lawyers… NDAs… Pending deals… It’s not as easy.<\/p>\n

Sounds more dramatic than it really is. And by next week the gun might be back in my mouth, again waiting for the phone to ring. So I’m trying to take it in stride.<\/p>\n

What I realized today, fair weblog reader, is that I’m kind of giving you the short end of the stick. You come here for the dillio on the latest dazzling Tyler Gibb coming attractions and all I give you are half-baked musings because I can rarely speak about what I’m truly up to. What have I become? The internet is supposed to be a consequence-free venue for shameless self-promotion and I’m treating it like a virtual soap-box for obnoxious opinionation. Tsk!<\/p>\n

So how about – for the sake of egomaniacal self-indulgence – I give you an out of context run-on sentence of updates on what I am currently working on? Or more aptly put: Waiting on. Just this once, until something real<\/em> happens and I can once again thrill you with tales from the outskirts of show business. Here goes:<\/p>\n

Just wrote a new script; I write one every two months so please hold your applause, also a script that I posted about earlier this year seems to finally be gathering some momentum toward production financing while another script which was submitted somewhere nearly three years ago has finally been read and may be on its way – yup, three years so never lose hope – and I’m talking to someone else about directing a project that is not my own which is exciting in a whole other way plus this other thing that I can’t talk about at all and another one that I don’t wanna talk about just yet.<\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0. The future projects.<\/p>\n
