The Blood Sommelier isn’t a vampire. He’s the Quality Assurance Officer.
He doesn’t drink, he tastes.
In the Sanguine State, horror is just logistics.
The script for “Vintage” is live.

I just uploaded the full script for “Vintage”: A 6-page Sci-Fi Horror story about a high-end Blood Sommelier.
Includes the script + Visual Bible (Appendix A) detailing the “clean horror” look.

“Vintage” is 99% complete
It’s a self-contained story about a blood sommelier in a facility that looks like an Apple Store inside of a skeleton.
Next Steps: Final polish, then finding an artist who specializes in high-contrast noir!

Had a productive weekend.
Drafted pages 2-4 of “VINTAGE.” After battling massive writer’s block for years, this momentum feels surreal. The direction is finally clear.
Question to the #WritingCommunity: Do you edit as you go, or burn through the "vomit draft" first?
