19) Hmmmm...

I'm going to start a section of writings on my blog titled: Writings of the week.  This is going to be the new home of all of my short story, film and mini-series ideas.  I have a bunch stored up in my ever forgetful brain and feel like I should write them down to focus on something tangible in my life.  Or at least have a record of them before I completely forget all of them.  This is an open place for all feedback and comments, I expect them.  It will help me adjust, tweek and make better.  The first installment of ideas is going to be a spoof of the books/movie line, The Bourne Identity.

 I'm calling it, Bourne Again: Christian.

This is going to be the story of a man who wakes up alone in a church with no memory of what happened the day before.  He is dressed in a ripped cleric's robe, stained with blood and inscribed with the name Christian Bourne along the monogrammed seem of the cross on the Damascene band cincture.  The story is going to have a Memento type feel to it.  Starting at the end clue to solve the beginning of the puzzle.  I'm classifying it as a comedy, but there will be elements of drama and action along the way.  I'm not sure if I want to write this as a short or feature, or as a book or screenplay just yet. 

If you stumble into this section and see nonsensical ramblings, don't be discouraged to read them.  I may end up just throwing ideas into the pot and wait until simmered to stir.  So don't stop reading if the first batch comes out a little burnt...not sure why I'm using so many cooking analogies, must be hungry.  I can't be hungry.  I just devoured my sister's entire refrigerator.  Anyway.  I hope you come along for Tom-Talk.  Pull up a pinch of carpet and become enchanted by the spillings of my fermented brain cells!  Bon appetite...sorry.
