13 - Ghost story/trust/a baby

The Winds of Westridge Valley

(I actually made up my synopsis on the spot and forgot what I wrote)--it's something about three young brothers who wander into the windy valley looking for adventure, of cowboys and Indians, but only one of them comes back.

I'm glad someone else is up and itching to do this, jrobbins! Yours sounds chilling. Also, it reminds me of an R.L. Stein book I read as a kid. *creepy shivers* Here's mine:

Heat: 9 / Romance / A School Dance / A Janitor
Word Count: 2,484
Title: ISHTAR TERRA
Synopsis: Sandrina arrives on Venus to study xenology at Ishtar Terra University, and discovers her passion runs deeper than classroom lectures and slideshows.

22 - Comedy/Security Clearance/ Filmmaker

I Swear
Word Count 1334

Waking up after a drinking binge to a Production Assistant who won’t stop knocking at a door that won’t f**king open is bad enough, but where are my goddamn pants?

Thanks Juliette!  And I must say I usually hate Romance, but it looks like you've found a way to make it cool - make it sci fi!  Looking forward to reading.

Heat 5
Fairy Tale/ Fame/ Writer

Title: The Marstal Heritage


"For six generations Marstal sailors have given to the sea.  What will the sea give back?"



Kind of a "what the hell do I write in 2 seconds, because I'm filing late" synopsis, but hey.

~TOPANGA'S FINISH LINE BAR~
 
NOW OPEN
 
BELLY UP
 
Shot glasses on the left, here's a pitcher of "Bitch Slaps"
 
For the uninitiated, BEWARE. They will turn your tongue bright red. Do not drink more than two if you know what's good for you!
 
If you prefer another type of cocktail, just ask the bartender!
(That would be me.)
 
 For serious writers only!
 
Looking forward to your stories!
as usual, the title/synopsis'ees (umm) have got my reader radar frothing at the mouth.
