One thing I learned from writing 14 blog posts a day is that…I have the capacity to write 14 blog posts a day. This particular blog is not about important things like “A Strong Dollar will Solve the Oil Crisis,” or even “Fitting into Your Wedding Dress through Bulimia.” However, I plan to mitigate this blog’s uselessness by providing more of it. As Bart Simpson said about his internet stock portfolio: “Quick! What’s 2 million times zero? And please don’t say zero!”
To that end, I have made a home for my ill-fated screenplay, Bomb Pops. The synopsis, at least. It’s a coming-of-age period (mid-80s) piece set in Cincinnati. It involves a 30-year-old ice cream truck driver who has an existential freak out when the ice cream company switches from classic soft-serve to pre-packaged treats, e.g. Bomb Pops. Certainly we all remember the moment when we heard this news?
So, read the synopsis, and ask yourself how in the world a multi-million dollar bidding war did NOT ensue! Bomb Pops is a mildy autobiographic, deeply personal labor of love that I will change completely for the right price. Take out the swear words? Change the setting? Add a wise-cracking robot? Done!
Just stumbled upon your blog, and have got to say that your style has easily made it one of my new favourites!
Best of luck with “Bomb Pops” (can’t wait to see the reviews!); and…erm… kudos for learning you could post 14 times in a single day – should prove to be a most useful skill!
Oh… and never agree to take out the swear words… no matter HOW many lights they promise to put your name in! 😉
Thanks, Copywriter…I neglected to mention that those 14 were required to be finished in two hours or less. I know a lot of people do more than that, but this was new to me!
Two hours?? My god… he’s… SUPER-BLOGGER!!
That really is quite impressive… I don’t care how long you’ve been at it, 14 blog posts in 2 hours is a lot of finger work! Bravo! Heck… I just started my own, and I’m lucky if I feel like actually writing ONE a day :-p
You’re my new hero, dude 😀

TC:
As I said a few posts back, it can be done as long as you don’t care what it looks like…and they didn’t. But as soon as I would speed up and cut corners on quality…trouble. I couldn’t win.
Thanks Again…do you have a link?
Hm… my last comment didn’t post through, so I’ll try again. Yeah, I always hated jobs that were a lose-lose situation: either cut corners ro meet a ridiculous deadline, thus sacrificing quality and giving yourself an unintended bad rap; or refusing to do so, and getting rief from a client who wants stellar work at a moment’s notice…
Ugh!
Oh, and yeah… it’s (gonna leave the http part out, and see if it’ll post this time) contract-seo-writer.blogspot.com. Just keep in mind it’s a work in progress 😀
Seeyasoon! 😉

consider yourself bookmarked, TC!
Ahhhh, Bomb Pops! I recall it well…and I too can not believe there is no bidding war going on right now. Oh, wait a minute, Bomp Pops is actually entertaining. Studios really have no interest in that anymore…
Well, thanks GG. Speaking of quality, for only 250 times the budget of Bomb Pops, we could make Land of the Lost!!
