I’m writing the brief synopsis of Poison as if it were a pitch. What a brilliant idea! Somebody kill me.
I wrote a separate pitch for the as-yet-to-be-named comics project, and might I add that while I have no problem coming up with characters and story, NAMING and ENCAPSULATING all that in a concise, catchy way? Not my thing. Not. My. Thing.
I’ve decided to establish themes for all future projects. Themes for Poison will be words and power. Themes for the unnamed project will be “normal” and — shit, I dunno, sexy guys in cowboy gear. I kind of like that theme. Oh, wait, I remember now — personification of myth. That’s a theme. Right?
Anyway, all this is John Scalzi and Dee’s fault. John Scalzi because the bastard does fantastic 10-words-or-less summaries of his books (and I strongly suspect he’s writing the cover flaps, though I could be wrong — whoever’s doing it, they’ve managed to hook me for Old Man’s War and I don’t even LIKE sci-fi). And Dee because she sent me a page on how to write pitches.
Ugh. Guh. Ngh. I’m off.
