The Literary Event of the Year!!!

Not too long ago, John Gray wrote a blog post about how he often wants to see his life as a movie with cinematic resonance in certain scenes and events. This was my comment and its follow-up:


  1. It has never occurred to me to think of my life as movie scenes, or even as part of a novel. Perhaps I should start? But what genre, hmmmmm, what genre?

    1. Occult lesbian fantasy and legal thriller mash up!

    2. Now that’s something I’d read

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

So, using all of e's suggested prompts, I have written a tongue-in-cheek short story (very short) which will be sequentially posted via one short chapter (very short) per day over the next six days. In addition to e's list of prompts, since I love classic noir detective literature so much, I also threw in every cheesy noir trope, stereotype and occasional bad pun that I could think of! And because I went totally overboard in my enthusiasm, each chapter has its own original art work to boot! Phew!

And so, may I present for your (it is to be hoped) reading pleasure . . . 

"THE BIG SLEAZY"

Oh boy! Looks like we will all be subscribing to yet another streaming service. This is how they get you: offer up one hot series of Must See Blogging and then hope we forget to unsubscribe.

I trust this biopic will be 100% factual with no prevarications or embellishments.

Is "occult lesbian fantasy legal thriller" a new genre, Debra? It sounds like it should be one. I'm glad you accepted the challenge!
