The L.A. Dime

…to a hotel for the weekend a finish his script. He wrote 40 pages in 2 days and while it’s not quite ready to be sent out for feedback, it’s very close. Getting paid assignments now-a-days is becoming less and less so I thought it was important to give Brad some uninterrupted time to focus, get in his writing zone and finish off this creative endeavor of his.

We didn’t want to spend too much money on the hotel room but also needed him to be comfortable so a friend suggested we use Priceline.com. It was a bit nerve-racking since you just put in the dollar amount you are willing to pay and the level of stars (quality of hotel) you expect, and they then tell you if your offer was accepted in the area you requested. After having to scale back our expectations a little on the location of the hotel, Brad ended up in a nice Marriott in Camarillo. He’d asked for a quiet room and got the handicapped suite which had an extra large bathroom and a funny shower – but all in all, he said it all worked out and getting that much writing done certainly is proof positive!

We’re now thinking of using Priceline to find a place for a weekend “babymoon” but don’t know where to go. It’d have to be in driving distance…..any suggestions? Oh yeah, and if you’re willing to babysit Sophie, let us know that too:)
