On a personal note, the attention The Memory Eater anthology is receiving has blown my expectations out of the water.At this pace, I’m confident it will be a success.
Now back to today—I’ve decided to dedicate Fridays to the workforce, so without further ado, here is the track-listing for the Office Band’s second album:
When printers collide.
Wax is better than rubber fingers, but Marty doesn’t think so
What decade are those mints from?
My last squirt of hand sanitizer
The IT guy who also knew karate
Tape dispenser’s revenge
That guy who always says hello while passing by in the hallway
Why does my computer have a floppy drive?
Depressing gray is a real color
The unopened box of staples is plotting
Copier full of blood (and dead bodies)
Fire up the 1941 scanner, now
I went to the health fair and all I got was fifteen pens and nine unsharpened pencils
Watch out for the power walker gang
No one told me it was dress down day
Hey, Dorothy, your fake plants look nice today
Some people never learn how to spell my last name, Zynlsidnejdoskesidkeis
The upside down post-it note.What does it say?
Who burnt popcorn in the microwave? Pt. 1
Who burnt popcorn in the microwave? Pt. 2 (Now the fire company is here and we have to evacuate the building)
Really quick, I’d like to thank TheNextBigWriter.com for posting an announcement on their front page for The Memory Eater.Out of all the online writing workshops, TNBW has always been my favorite.If you want to build in-depth writer-to-writer relationships and get an honest assessment of your work, then this is the place for you.As an added bonus, they just announced their 2011 Strongest Start Novel Competition (over $2,200 in prizes).
Now onto the contest.I want to give everyone the weekend to formulate their ideas, so the contest starts now and ends this Sunday (4/3/11) at midnight.
Contest Details:
Become The Next Big SyFy Channel Writer!
In 75 words or less, pitch me the SyFy channel’s next hit movie.What does it take to be SyFy, you wonder?Well have a look (at your own risk, of course):
The first rule of SyFy is to always base your movie around an altered animal as shown inMega Piranha.
Or an altered “thing” as shown in Behemoth.
The second rule of SyFy is to hire the best talent available within a three meter radius of yourself as done in Mega Python vs. Gatoroid.
The third rule of SyFy is that skin is optional as shown in Triassic Attack.
But really, there are no rules.Just come up with the funniest/most ridiculous pitch, enter it in the comments below, and the winner (announced on Monday, April 4th) will receive his/her choice of a $15 gift card to iTunes, Starbucks or Subway.
Here’s a motivating clip from Shark Attack 3: Megalodon to get the juices flowing:
