RE: Amstel. The Great Hunter, the Minor Celebrity

in #life4 years ago

Jajajajaja. I had a good laugh with your post, Eric!!! Amstel really is a celebrity and with that face, who can resist him. Here in the neighborhood we have a mascot, a parrot (or parakeet) named Paolo, who spends his time at the bus stop singing the national anthem and saying good morning to everyone. In return, we people give him bread and fruit. He is almost a member of the neighborhood and one of the family. Pets are wonderful beings that make our days more bearable. I wish they were eternal. Nice Thursday and thank you very much for your support!!! A thousand hugs.

So glad you enjoyed it, Nancy! He uses his cuteness to its full potential in getting what he wants. Lol. That's so cool that your neighborhood has a mascot. There's a short story in that somewhere, or a children's book. Amstel has brought us SO much joy. I'm thankful that we've had this extra time with him. He's traveled with us to Sedona, AZ last winter and New York City when I was working on that series we were writing for Netflix. You're very welcome! Enjoy your weekend and take care of yourself!

Oh, I didn't know you had written a series for Netflix. Did you write about it here on HIVE? I'm going to check your blog to see if I can find out what it's all about. Well, it's never too late to congratulate you. I know of your work as a writer, your dedication, and especially, your talent. Good luck! Hugs to you

Yes, I worked on it with a team of folks from Steemit from 2016-2018. It was a dystopian sci-fi series with cryptocurrency/blockchain central to its plot called HardFork. We had three seasons written and we were pitching it to Netflix and other studios then the 2018 bear market hit and ran out of money and it just fizzled. It was such a fun couple of years -- learning screenwriting, living in New York for weeks at a time, meeting with crypto teams. Those years taught me a lot. Thank you Nancy!
