The Skinny on Watching the Wire

Because I'm now two days behind on Watching the Wire here's the plan for those of you who are curious about when "Bad Dreams" will appear. I've just started a new job and in the week this job leaves me with just four hours of time at home where I can do anything, once you figure in eating, relaxing and so forth there just isn't time to finish "Bad Dreams" during the evenings because each section of W:TW takes around four to five hours to assemble and that's on a good day.

But I plan to be on schedule and have the season finished this week with "Port in a Storm" arriving on Sunday. Which means I'll be finishing "Bad Dreams" on the Saturday and posting it, turning the weekend into a mini-scale Wire-a-thon.

As for the third season, I'm going to take a break for a week or two and then work on them, but I won't start submitting them until I have everything up until episode nine already written (about two thirds of the season done). So I'm suspecting I'll start releasing the third season in October, but who knows, after a break I might find myself in the mood for a marathon. I know when I wrote about the first season I had one day where I wrote three episodes in one sitting.

Irregardless, I do not plan to abandon this project at anytime and I won't stop until I've written about the closing moments of -30-. It's just unfortunately I don't make money from writing, and it's unlikely I ever will, so I have to fit it in around earning a living.

But rest assured, I've not forgotten about The Wire - the transmission has just been delayed and service will be resumed (and concluded) this weekend.
