Turns out, writing Supernatural is Blissful

I stayed home sick from work yesterday.  Still feeling crappy today, but at least my eyes aren’t perpetually leaking from the congestion pressure in my sinuses and my throat feels much better.

So as I was home yesterday I thought, I’ll get some writing done, but that never seems to work when I feel like shit. It took me all day between bursts of snot and coughing fits to write – my first complete Supernatural episode.

Spoiler warning:

For fans of the show, I’m guessing everyone has wondered how the writer’s are going to keep Dean out of his contract with the Crossroad Demon. I can only see two possibilities that would ensure an adventure-filled season 4 and a whole new level of complexity for the dynamic of the two brothers.

I chose the way most likely to tie in to a many future seasons – and I wrote an episode. Because, well, because I felt like it. Because this is my way of being a part of something that thrills me.

I have to admit, there was a great amount of laughing on my end. A little bit of sadness for one character and a lot of moments when I had to stop working to wonder what the hell I was doing – writing an episode for a show I’m not affiliated with. That didn’t however, diminish the fun in any way. I’m glad I did it, and I had a blast.

I’ll have to put some more thought into what to do, now that I’ve confirmed to myself – I really had fun writing that episode. I might even go so far as to say… it was a little bit of bliss.
