Writing

it has taken a left turn.

I've been paid well, the TV film was greenlit, they hired a director, they were going to casting ...

And then the TV channel changed direction and decided not to air any more police procedurals for now (as the one they aired a few months ago bombed horribly. Nothing to do with us.)

So -- I've sold the script, got THIS close ... and now it's all on hold. A similar story told by screenwriters everywhere.
