Ricky Ruszin's latest update for Showtime

Mar 27, 2020

Hey everyone,

I ate the cookies.

I finished the Doritos.

I am running low on chocolate.

How is it possible that two weeks of quarantine snacks only lasted a few days?

While you ponder that, I wanted to drop in with a quick note to let you all know that I recently completed and turned in re-writes for the most recent draft of Showtime. With everything (including my job) shut down due to Coronavirus concerns, I’ve been able to devote all the time I would’ve been spending at work on doing re-writes. Between having two solid weeks to work on it, as well as having less to do with it in general this time around, this draft took about half the time as the last one.

From here I’ll wait for Sarah to get back to me with another editorial letter and we’ll see what else—if anything—we need to work on to make sure the characters, plot, and the book in general is as perfect as possible when it plops out of the sky and into your gloved, sanitized hands (you know, since we’re social distancing).

Thanks again for your patience, support, and enthusiasm. Stock up on snacks and wash your hands!

Ricky
