So I was telling a friend not too long ago about how I wanted to form a comedy troupe of authors. I believe my exact words were “I can’t believe that no one’s done this yet. So I assume they have and I’m just too stupid to have noticed.” She liked it though. Although I may be the only person enamored with calling each member by their signature Large Hat. She’s in a similar job and place in her life, but with actual acting experience. So here comes the crazy question: Do any of you live in or near NY and actually want to do this? Seriously. Does anyone want to try and make this happen?
On an unrelated note: Don’t send a query to my agency addressing a different agency and then demand absolute secrecy because you’re afraid other people at the agency will steal your idea and give it to another author. It really doesn’t help your case.
So, something else that might interest all of you: http://editminion.com/. It's sort of an auto-copy editor. Someone posted that on Twitter a couple weeks ago. Problem with twitter is that even following a relatively small number of people, stuff gets lost in a crazy jumble. I more or less say “Okay. Which two tweet links will I follow today?” This happened to be one of them. And it ingratiated itself to me by giving me the all-green, with the possible exception of ending sentences with prepositions on a few samples I pasted in. It’s not perfect, but heck. It’s worth giving it a whirl. Instant addition to my favorites list.
I think it was Shelley that posted it. It's a cool little tool. I wish I lived closer and could do this comedy thing. It would be fun! Texas is way to far away. :(
ReplyDeleteKudos to Shelley, then.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. Theoretically we could make a webseries, but that would actually be harder and it'd look weird due to changing quality as each person in any skit sends their stuff in. Not sure I'd want to try that yet. Thoughts?
Only problem with Kudos is they're so damn small. Good though.
ReplyDeleteNo thoughts today. Mad at government and it sucked all my brainpower away.
ReplyDeleteWe could always write a script for a comedy SHOW that other cool actors could then pay us loads of money for.
Well, sure. If we wanted to be wealthy and sucessful. But who wants that?
