I like crime, detective stories and thrillers. Thillers if done well. Especially psychological thrillers. I like a good mystery.

I’ve never written a screenplay, but now you guys have me all hyped up on it so I’m sure I will when the novel is done.

Yes, the history of drugs is interesting (and how they got that way).

Ellen– I sometimes get stumped with pitches too, but I try to remember what I learned in school, and my teacher told me to write a line (or two) that would make me want to buy into it. Doesn’t always work for me, but thats what practicing is for I guess.

Ellen Wilson — Yes, you did a great job with the pitch and did it right. I like your fiction version of the story (that Bonnie & Clyde escape and leave ragdolls in their place) much better than the true story (getting shot to death).

t.sterling — Sounds interesting. I would enjoy watching a History channel documentary about alcohol; would be so interesting.

Word: Amazed

Sentence: Hoover and the boys descend on the bullet riddled automobile to find raggedy Ann and Andy in the front seat.

Pitch: Notorious crime duo Bonnie and Clyde elude the law by melting into the mainstream. Blending into small town life the darker side creeps over their doings and they are undone by Billy the magician. A little boy with second site.

I think I did it right this time. I have trouble with the pitch part.

Oh yeah, for sure give yourself a deadline. I feel kind of silly, but I’ve never imposed deadlines on my creative projects before. Hail deadline!

semi-historical

Cops arrive on the scene of one of the first drunk driving accidents after the prohibition was lifted. “So…” the chief begins, “how about you need to be at least 18, or 21… and NOT driving after a drink? What say you?”

A semi-historical yet comical look at alcohol consumption over the ages, from ancient times to how people drink in the future.
