Aptly Titled
Well FALSE ALARM was a FALSE ALARM of sorts. Re-write number two just completed; although I am told the concept is good and the script will be produced.
Yeah, right H. P. LOVECRAFT
If FACEBOOK is good for anything and frankly it isn't good for anything, you find these little tests to compare yourself to whomever and whoever and sometime whatever.
The most recent is for writers to enter the texts, a few paragraphs, and the magical analyzer will tell you who write like.
I did it twice.
I took a satirical piece I wrote fifteen years ago; one that is finally being published and only being published now because I couldn't find a satirical magazine to send it to. ANYWAY, on that piece I was told I write like COREY DOCTOROW.
I then took an article I had just written and just had accepted. Not a piece of fiction, but a straight article. 'I write like' H. P. LOVECRAFT.
Yeah. I know I am good, but that good?
Well a foreign critic in a seminar discussion once made the parallel to all of us horror writers as bands. In that comparison he said that while the rest are playing rock n' roll, some better than others, my stories were different and compared me to PINK FLOYD.
Yeah...right.

A Lot in The Hopper
While personally this has been a horrible year in every respect. We have a lot waiting release. The best is yet to come.
The script for FALSE ALARM is completed
One re-write so far. But the script is done. The re-write deleting one character has in fact allowed the other characters and the overall narration to flourish. More to come.
