I think I'm going to have to put out a call for (volunteer) positions like social media coordinator and website manager.

I think the reason I've been slow-rolling coming out with a new show is that I'm dreading all of that kind of work, not least because I'm terrible at it.

I’m teaching a class about STAR TREK! Next month I’ll explore how Trek reflects America’s “progressive” ideals in each era and how that both expands and limits how we imagine the future. It’s part of Goddard Spark, a program born from Goddard College’s 1940s anti-fascist roots. Learn more below!

I've been dealing with paralysis by analysis trying to figure out what I want to do next in the world of audio fiction.

I think that instead of fretting over which concept to run with I'll do a few pilots to see which one works best. I have two concepts in the hopper and one more should do it.

Niche Fallout 76 content begins:

Last night, I was attempting to scrap a Fasnacht flag, and scrapped my entire tavern and everything in it, by mistake. Because that wasn't bad enough, the damn flag stayed behind, floating in midair.

I will rebuild, but damn was that rough.

Niche content ends.

I (unsurprisingly) think @fallout.bethesdastudios.com should follow suit here. There's not going to be a new mainline #Fallout game for several years. TV shows are expensive and have long breaks between seasons.

An audio drama is a relatively easy lift.

I volunteer to write one. 😅

I'm going to be in New York (Manhattan) next month, so if anyone's in the neighborhood and wants to say hello, let me know. I'm flying into LaGuardia on the morning of September 16th and flying out of JFK around lunchtime on the 18th.

A phrase uttered across the Wasteland. However, to everything there is a season...a time to live, a time to die...and perhaps, after so long, a time for Hope.

Looking back on Season 1, when MODUS made an appearance...

Final Draft window. Toolbar labels across top: “Collaboration”, “Split”, “Views”, “Beat Board”, “Title Page”, a dropdown labeled “Character”, “Elements”, “Writing Stats”, “Show/Hide”, “Navigator”, “Feedback”. Left sidebar shows “Outline 1”, “Outline 2”. Top ruler with numbers. Active tab label: “Script”. Scene heading centered near the top: “INT. FORT ATLAS – DAY”. Page number at top right: “44.” Footer: “44 of 51”, “No Scene”, “Ready”, zoom indicator “90%”. Script text with line numbers shown on both left and right margins: 429 — BETH Everyone, listen. If I’m captured or killed someone needs to find that entrance and retrieve Odessa. I don’t care who it is, but get her back. 430 — (beat) No response? 431 — CARLSON Comms are jammed. Jesus. 432 — MODUS Miss Kirby, we have detected that you are in need of... assistance. 433 — BETH Bit of an understatement, MODUS! 434 — MODUS We believe we have identified the entrance to the underground facility where Scribe Valdez may be held. This analysis is based-- 435 — BETH You can explain it all to me later! We have more immediate problems at the moment. 436 — MODUS Ah, yes. You do. There is a large group of... hmm... Super Mutants advancing on your position. Shall I... eliminate them? 437 — BETH Yes! Please! 438 — MODUS We have detected no friendly forces in their immediate vicinity. Orbital strike incoming. Please brace yourselves. (After a few seconds, there is a massive explosion.) 439 — BETH Can you get rid of the wall of mercenaries between us and the rest of our teams? Same Final Draft toolbar and sidebar items as Image 1. Scene heading at top: “INT. FORT ATLAS – DAY”. Page number at top right: “45.” Footer: “45 of 51”, “No Scene”, “Ready”, zoom “90%”. Script text (line numbers on both margins): 440 — MODUS We can. We calculate a 61.3% Probability that we can eliminate the enemy forces without... collateral damage. 441 — BETH That’s not good enough. 442 — MODUS We recommend that you move to the entrance that we identified. Other hostile forces are approaching, but you can... beat them there if you move now. Forty-six meters, bearing 2-9-Zero. I’ve downloaded the coordinates to your Pip-Boy. 443 — BETH 2-9-Zero? That’s the direction they seemed to be pushing us... 444 — CARLSON Must’ve just been random. 445 — BETH Alright, MODUS, we’re on the move. But our comms are still jammed. Wait, how are you communicating with us? 446 — MODUS We have... ways of defeating more... common methods of radio jamming. (beat) We will inform Lieutenant Connors of your situation and your plans. We will also attempt to restore general communications. 448 — BETH Have her put my father in charge and coordinate a withdrawal to Atlas. 449 — MODUS We will. And we will monitor their withdrawal and... handle any forces that choose to pursue them. 450 — BETH No collateral damage, MODUS. Same Final Draft toolbar and sidebar items as Image 1. Scene heading at top: “INT. FORT ATLAS – DAY”. Page number at top right: “46.” Footer: “46 of 51”, “No Scene”, “Ready”, zoom “90%”.

Thank you, MODUS. 456 — MODUS Thank you, Miss Kirby. We will... be in touch. 457 — BETH Are you good to move, Greg? You’ve been wearing a brave face, but I can tell you’re hurting. 458 — CARLSON I’m good. Let’s get moving. ( BETH and CARLSON move quickly. ) 459 — CARLSON (CONT’D) Keep your head on a swivel. This is... wow, a hell of a lot of damage. But let’s make sure we don’t get surprised. 460 — BETH Right. You know, you’ve really grown since the first time I met you. Back in that lab. You were so... green. ( CARLSON laughs. ) 461 — CARLSON I was, wasn’t I? ( Gunfire erupts! ) 462 — BETH Get down! On our flank! 463 — CARLSON Where the hell did they come from?

This is something I believe, 100%.

It's great to be talented, to have ambition, to make smart moves in your career.

But you ALSO need luck. I have seen many talented, ambitious people fail. Not because they didn't make smart moves. They just had bad luck.

let me rephrase - one of the fastest ways to become a monster is to blind yourself to the role that luck played in your success and your failures.

"Three books titled 'Once Upon a Wasteland: The Scripts' are standing upright on a wooden cutting board. The books are labeled 'Season One,' 'Season Two,' and 'Season Three.' Season One has a light background with two women standing back-to-back. Season Two has a red background with two women embracing and looking at each other. Season Three has a dark background with a red-haired woman and a dark-haired person dancing. All books have 'Not for Resale' printed across the cover. The kitchen setting in the background is slightly blurred."
