"The Magic Keybored"

 

Camera: Pan across room; zoom in at person sitting at chair in front of a computer-who appears to be exasperated as he slowly pecks the keys on his keyboard. Stymied, he looks downcast wringing his head in his hands.

Narrative: Meet v.c., author of Golden Pond. A tall, handsome man of lineage who is attempting to write the first words to his new book, "What Was I Thinking?" a searing expose of the food biz.

He has pounded away on that keyboard for years, gaining little notoriety. But tonite it changes. Because the new keybored he finds at a garage sale will transform his life forever. For little does v.c. know, he will soon compose a magnificent, critically acclaimed NY Times best seller in the Twilight Zone. On the "Magic Keybored," tonite's episode. Submitted for your approval!

In that case you will only be able to write about "time travel" (either going into the future or past or both), space travel, or some sort of growing older/younger vainity issues. Toss in the ocassional monster and you have the entire Twilight Zone episodes in a nutshell.

It would be great to leave the rowdiness and passive aggressiveness behind. Methinks I've paid my dues many times over.
Thanks for the kind words as usual.
Barbecue a big salmon fillet for me and drink a few bruskies.

P.S. The handsome phrase was poetic license. Fiction, if you will. Even tho' Kitty digs me!
