Peculiar job 25
I'm one step closer to work on a Wahabist Islam kids cartoon whose offices are in Mecca.
Lets hope they let me write from home
Every day we get one step closer to sooty causing an international incident.
Despite it been after 11pm am wide awake and can't sleep, yet come work tomorrow morning will hardly be able to keep my eyes open.

I know that feeling. As does John Finnemore:

I love that man.
I am getting distracted by trains while I'm watching TV.
I am trying to write a short story that I've been hired for and really have no enthusiasm at all. It's a romance. I only wanted it cos they're hiring for sci-fi soon and I wanted to be on their books for cool work. I feel very unprofessional, but this is soooo dull. I wonder if they'll notice if I sneak in a teeny tiny alien invasion?

So, how to mix Sleepless in Seattle with Independence Day?
You could...you could...it's a tricky one!

Have fun with it? Try and sneak in, as you say a huge sci-fi back drop but try and hide it, with only subtle references to some sort of Death Star looming over? Also try and sneak in jokes and other naughty things that will be missed by most people.

Hmmm... 'Their eyes met across a crowded deserted nuclear battlefield. This was quite a feat since they had eighteen eyes between them. They took this to be a sign of true compatibility, and, there wasn't anyone else around. But what brought them together eventually tore them apart, as they couldn't help but have wandering eyes (eight between them. The other ten were fixed in place. With bad SFX glue.) But it didn't matter for these star-crossed, cross-eyed lovers. Cos of the apocalypse and that.'
I could've almost finished my job in the minute it took me to write that. I despair of myself sometimes.
Just finish the story with: "and then they climbed into her UFO, took off and lived happily ever afterwards on their own private asteroid."
After some anal probing?
