Hell yes! Congratulations! What genre do you want to go with?

Well, that's just what I asked them! And they're wide open.

So I'm leaning toward mystery / crime-thriller, but I also like quirky historical characters and caper type stuff. I'd also love to do something on some scientific discovery. I wouldn't mind period pieces, but they're such a tough sell, and I've done that already.

The possibilities! My mind is going to explode!

That anonymous comment was me by the way...frickin' technology.

I read a review this morning in the NY Times called Dog Days by a vapid *blogger* named Ana Marie Cox--she of the DC blog wonkette.com .
It sounds like the most insipid, assinine idea for a book or a movie(a blogger and her blackberry!)--that I'm sure will be made. If it hasn't been optioned already--it sounds like something producers these days would love to grab.

I'm cynical, you see.

I'll check it out, but I'm not interested in something popular for popularity's sake, but something I can be intrigued by enough to spend a year of my life on.

Of course. Who would want to write that piece of shit? But I bet it gets written and produced!

How totally cool!!! Congrats to you!

Thanks!

Do you have a suggestion on a book you think would make a great film?

reneesarah January 4 2006, 01:11:43 UTC

I was going to suggest "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey... but I looked it up and it is coming out as a movie this year. Will see what else comes to mind!

Fascinating developments with that "non-fiction" book. Seems like the author went to the George W. Bush school of non-fiction.

An odd choice--Freeman Tilden's Mr. Podd.

CP Snow's the Masters

Okay, I'll check those out!
