Shining is the point, as is telling a story that burns for you. Freaking people out, well, if that's your thing... me, I'd rather connect with them, but mileage varies and there is room for all kind of story in the world. The only thing you really have to do is write it well. That's the way to make people pay attention in spite of all their own baggage. Hope it all goes swimmingly! Go for it, Paul.

Sorry about my craziness. I really had no idea you were an editor when i posted my original thing. I have had to endure the editing process before, while writing cartoons 4 kids. It drove me somewhat nuts. I still have problems with being edited. When i watch 90% of hollywoods fodder i think that there must be some bloody idiot on high saying "You see that bit with a story in? Get rid of it." MORE GUNS AND SEX. I will write the stars and spiders because i have to. Because i am mad, Because i shine and because i want to freak people out. mucho respecto. paul. Howdy, thanks for the help.

And then go back and write it again. If you already think your story is too expensive to make, and out in left field for most producers/networks, then seems like you have answered your own question. If you want people to buy your story, write a story that they can buy.

Thanks for reading my story. Exploding heads? Yeah, i like that. I was wondering if you think that this is a viable outline to persue? I have changed it a bit. For instance, Harry is no longer on the raft alone. I thought it would introduce more dramatic tension if he was saving the lives of the people who most hate him on the ship. (including his lady friend). But... It would be prohibitively expensive to make. The subject matter is way leftfield and i am not the most experienced writer on the planet. Hmm...Back to the drawing board? Thanks again. Paul. Howdy.

I am pretty sure that if I took as much acid in a short time as Harry in your story outline, my head would be the thing exploding!

I wrote a story called the stars and spiders about 10 years ago. The title was inspired by my stepdad who told me when he took lsd he saw spiders on the ceiling. The inspiration for the story came from my brother who had a dream about somebody surviving a shipwreck through blind luck and the mind altering drugs they had taken. Thus i came up with my story. I must say that i do not think i could have come up with a better intro than this quote. It completely describes the ethics of my story I tried to read kerouak when i was younger but found him pretentious and dated. I have gonzo tattooed on my arm so what the fuck do i know? I have posted the outline to my story on the bbc site h2g2.. Its very short and i hope you get a chance to read it. thanks. p.s. I may try reading on the road, again.. Howdy,

In fact, I have it stuck on my refrigerator door. Sounds like a rather mundane spot, but it makes me feel less mundane (yes bigger) when I see it there. Reminds me of a couple new friends I met this year. Reminds me not to settle for less. I love this quote. In fact, I have it stuck on my refrigerator door.
