This is another good pitch, do a little short and release it. It could garner plenty of attention, which is what I'm trying to do with it as I want to watch more.

Now, this is an interesting pitch

Unfortunately, I can't embed this into the post. This is a great way to pitch an idea, you tell the story in a different fashion, it hits all the points and answers questions and does one important thing, it is fun to watch. Most Pitches are the same old story, if you could bring a little bit of theatre to the meeting, that would give you an advantage to someone who summarises the story.

Think differently, and you'll be remembered.

Writing Competitions

I've never quite understood this about writing competitions, how they'll make some odd request about what has to be in it or the theme.

"Write a short story (750 words or fewer) based on the prompt below.

"You return to the house where you grew up, only to learn it has been condemned."

How about you just ask for short stories and get pleasently suprised, by something that differs to most of the entries you have received. The readers won't enjoy reading very similar stories about condemned houses for days on end.

The First Notebook

I'm currently typing up notes on my computer. My first notebook is surprising, in what I have written. It is stuff that doesn't make sense.

For example: "Guy is rejected from heaven because he is half-robot"

What does that even mean?

202

It's funny when inspiration comes flying at you, even when you're not doing anything productive. Although, it does pile up the work, I haven't done yet. Just making it harder for myself.

Happy new year

It's a lot like last year, what with the fireworks and the music.

One simple difference, this is my year. I don't want to be in the same place in a years time, and I'm not gonna be.

True Story

Okay, so a couple hours away from the next year. I'm going to take a quick trip down memory lane.

Back when I was in school, I was in the second from lowest classes for Maths, essentially, I was in with the dunces. One day, I just ask them what year is New Years Eve and New Years Day in the same year. Simple question. They can't figure it out, I tell them, every year. They start taking the piss out of me, for how wrong I am, to an excessive degree and try and figure out which year it is. The teacher enjoyed this chaotic lunacy even as they denied the truth so quickly.

I can't believe how stupid people are.
