Frankenstein's Cat- This dead cat swings.

I'm working on various projects right now but my current hot ticket is Frankenstein's Cat, the new kid's animated series made by Mackinnon and Saunders for the BBC. It's based on the successful series of kid's books by Curtis Jobling, whose blog features Bob the Builder versions of Hellboy characters. That in itself would have made the project worth working on, but I came onboard based on the sharp character designs and the cuddly writing team, headed by multi-award stealing script-neurologist Alan Gilbey.
I'm working on a couple of episodes and some other top-secret content, but I'll keep you informed as to when I can let more of the cat out of the bag. Let's just say you'll never look at cheesecake the same way again...

Nanowrimo Day Sev... Oh, wait, hang on...

Yep, I didn't make 50,000 words. And yet, I still like to think that I've won Nanowrimo.
OK, not in the literal, actual sense that I have a big shiny certificate saying 'Joel Jessup, winner', but in the much less tangible, slightly self-deluding sense that I have the first 12 chapters of an actual pirate detective novel and am continuing at a regular rate towards completion. The draft has some nice set-pieces, chunks of distinguishable character, and a couple of twists I definitely didn't pre-plan. Congratulations, however, to everyone who did take part and hit 50,000.
The main reason I didn't hit that rate, other than seemingly developing a higher caffeine tolerance than before, is detailed in my next post.
