And so it came to be that conversations with Happy Puppy KEE-RA and his human, Suit in Transition, MEREDITH and her pal RC the GREMLIN/STORYTELLER… AND… others got things percolating for former Suit, KATIE. She was on her morning run when a bunch of bubble-ups happened followed by a DING!! which triggered a REWIND to previous works and how her INSTINCTS awareness got its start. Let’s listen in for WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT. –The Gang.
FADE IN:
INT. KATIE’S WESTSIDE HOUSE
Katie has just returned from her run and even before doing her stretching routine, she has made a beeline to her downstairs computer lab where a stack of BLANK 11×14 pieces of paper await her along with a trusty blue ONPOINT pen.
Smiling, she scribbles away… Words essential to her but no doubt what the nuns called ILLEGIBLE.
She is being observed by her resident pal, RC the GREMLIN who is very used to Katie’s “chicken scratch”.
RC THE GREMLIN
When she goes upstairs, I’ll snap a photo. The Gang may benefit… Kee-Ra too.
Blue Scribble Snap…
BARRIER TO ENTRY–The Kits
End-to-End IBM WAY

Also: Follow Your Instincts… [Trust Your Instincts song]
Also: Key Learning –> BLISS –> Instincts
RC THE GREMLIN
What the… ? This’ll be interesting. Wonder if she has a shift today…? I imagine this is going to background task a bit, so I’ll watch closely.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. KATIE’S KITCHEN
It is the next day as, indeed, Lady Katie DID have a shift so her thoughts… well… they had time to kick around while she swept and moved pallets and cycled the dead plants into the composter…
The following morning, there was nothing scheduled, so she had a lot more time to prOcess — enjoying an EXTENDED MORNING ROUTINE before heading out the door to her PITTER-PATTER.
All good too as, RC made a discovery of his own that just might…
[Listen in, shall we?]
KATIE’S MUSINGS
Alright, so… yesterday was interesting as I had time to incubate… but really, like work the GOOGLE AI search my brain on this INSTINCTS thing… The way-back machine… When did I have an awareness of… that whole TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS thing??
I believe… it was a work pal… back when we were doing the JANE BOND video… so that would make it… around the time I had that crazy EURO business trip… the number of countries and meetings we took was like … cra-cra… That makes it… pre-Artist-Way but definitely when I was… oh yeah…
That U2 album she played all the time… still haven’t found what I’m looking for… Pamela was on her own quest and she was encouraging me to… LISTEN to that album end-to-end; over-and-over.
…Point being, she was on this INSTINCTS thing and I was like what is that? Well…
I’d say, no doubt that once I discovered the MUSINGS (AKA morning pages), this flow through helped… breakthrough to… a feeling… like … not impulsive… but persistent nudge… and with a play mate that’s all encouraging –you Go and what I now call FLO… Come to think of it, that entire JANE BOND experience was like a ginormous instinct-driven event.
There’s nothing I could claim I knew how to do… I just… DID?!
Experiences fueled me… kept going… We had a deadline. We had lots of really smart people who’d never done this sort of thing before. And we had me… Behind the camera… a borrowed video camera… directing… and we had whatever mish-mash popped into my head every morning during my runs…
And we had — a DREAM INN visit to Santa Cruz… and a discovery of… Art of Noise James Bond theme and… wow… Like Frankie (Capra) said… the fireworks popped… and we did this coherent mashup of ideas that JUST WORKED. And ALSO that death of the borrowed camera the day of the LINE DANCE shoot… Faulty tripod or… Operator Error (points finger at self)… Extra motivation as the winning sales conference video earned the Team a cash prize [offset replacement cost, yes?]. Anyway, that seems to be the Springtime into Summer where INSTINCTS bubbled up as something to…
Just then, Katie’s TRIGGER MUG appeared to be magically refilling itself with 4a brew.
Trigger Mug…
She looks over and smiles.
RC THE GREMLIN
Okay? I’ve got this too!
RC hands her a second TRIGGER MUG with hot water.
RC THE GREMLIN
I know you heart your SPURS water.
Katie gets up to stretch and eyes the clock.
KATIE
Whoa !!
…Right? Your FLO was fantastical… INSTINCTS, eh?
RC THE GREMLIN
Right? Your FLO was fantastical… INSTINCTS, eh?
KATIE
There’s a song… Trust your instincts song… Can’t quite…
RC whips out his RAZR phone.
RC THE GREMLIN
311… ALL MIXED UP…
He hits play and while Katie is watching and smiling, RC quietly puts a LAY-FLAT on the table near Katie’s MUSINGS journal. It has POST-ITs sticking out.
When the video concludes, she hits PAUSE and hands it back to him, while noticing the GREEN LAY-FLAT.
KATIE
Wha… ?
RC THE GREMLIN
You forgot all about this one, eh?
KATIE
The first of the SERIES after the LAUNCH TRILOGY… the series I abandoned…
RC THE GREMLIN
Don’t say it like that… The way I see it, merely set aside as LIFE you LIVED… needed to… Anyway, flipping through it I’d say… relevant today and then some.
While he’s talking, Katie is INDEED flipping through it noting the POST-ITs are on the pages dealing with INSTINCTS.
Green “Euro Adventure”…
Instincts everywhere…
KATIE
Whoa! A THEME or what?
RC THE GREMLIN
Seemed like… something that worked for you during that trip.
Katie flips some more and sits back down. With a quick bit of scribbling, she closes her MUSINGS with the familiar PENCILS DOWN [mic drop] sketch.
Stopping point…
Standing she looks at RC.
KATIE
Best to stop where you know WHERE you’ll pick it back up…
RC THE GREMLIN
Right… That Hemingway thing…
What He Said…
…The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck…
KATIE
Yup!
She packs up her things into her POUCH & SATCHEL PAK, including the EURO ADVENTURE LAY-FLAT, and moves towards the stairs…
RC THE GREMLIN
Pitter-Patter time?
KATIE
Yeah… Tempo hills day… It’ll be a good one…
RC THE GREMLIN
With a side of EAR WORM, eh?
KATIE
Already looping!
RC THE GREMLIN
Enjoy your workout…
RC heads towards the front door.
KATIE
And what are YOU up to this day?
RC THE GREMLIN
Tracking down the SQUEEKSTER… Got something to share.
Squeekster (AKA Mr Squeek)
KATIE
Say YO! to Mr Squeek for me… We’re overdue for a catch-up!
RC THE GREMLIN
Copy that… the pier is fixed now. And TheSEA’s wharf garden open too…
KATIE
Cool. See ya when I see ya-ss !
RC THE GREMLIN
Not if we see-ya first!
Katie laughs.
FADE OUT.
That’s a Wrap..
And so it was that Ms Katie got re-introduced to her own work. Makes you wonder… WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT. right??
