The Writer’s Room: Chapter Ten

The Writer’s Room: Chapter Ten

Harrison stumbled into the Writer’s Room more dishevelled than Mike had ever seen him before.  He had dark circles under his eyes, his hair had strands going hither and thon, though his moustache was still as impeccable as ever.  He looked a lot like Geezer Butler on this morning.

Mike was as perky as usual, sitting in his chair at the board table, sipping a hot coffee.

“Coffee?” he asked Harrison as the Australian Mad Metal Man took his seat.  Under his arm, a binder full of notes.  He opened the book and declined the drink.

“You look beat,” said Mike to Harrison with a tad of concern.

“It’s like your boys the Arkells say,” answered Harrison.  “We got deadlines to meet.”

It was true.  In addition to writing the Adventures of the Northern Lights, Mike and Harrison were also knee-deep in their latest project:  a series of videos called 50 Years of Iron Maiden.

“That’s why I called this meeting,” replied Mike.  “We both have a lot of stuff going on, especially with 50 Years of Iron Maiden.  I think we need to discuss priorities.”

Harrison nodded and agreed.  “I believe 50 Years of Iron Maiden should be our top priority now.  As far as our adventures go, we have for now calmed the Multiverse and there have not been further incursions from our Decepticon foes.  We have stopped the urgency of the fictional situations for now and introduced some intriguing threads.  I am OK if we take a break.”

Mike shrugged.  “That’s more or less what I was going to say, even though this is actually around the three year anniversary of our stories.”

Harrison thought a moment.  “I forgot that.  I don’t think it’s a big deal to anyone but us, though.”

“Here, you need to drink something,” said Mike as he poured Harrison a sparkling water from a local Canadian spring.  “A toast.  To three years of our superhero adventures…and 50 years of Iron Maiden.”

“Cheers,” said Harrison as he sipped.

“Cheers,” responded Mike.

They both enjoyed their drinks for a moment before Mike spoke.

“Alright, onto business.  Let’s see the art for the Seventh Son episode!  Allons-y!”

With that, Harrison opened his folder and the boys began jamming on ideas.  It would be a productive day.

The end…for now.
