' Lovers of historical fiction could hardly do better than Diana Quincy's Spy Fall,' proclaims Fresh Fiction. Most action scenes come off as eighth-grade bullies' scuffles. The characters argue and fight about things that might be important, but in their mouths sound trivial. There are long summary passages that sound like back story from notebooks.

Based off of Alex from Target, #famous by Jilly Gagnon is a contemporary love story about a Rachel who takes an innocent picture of her crush Kyle when he’s working, posts it on ‘Flitter’ as a joke to her best friend, and then it goes viral.īut fame isn’t everything for both Rachel and Kyle’s side of the coin and they’ve got to learn to navigate the viciousness of other’s words and the pressure to be enough as they fall in love with each other. I can’t reproduce the real Sid and Charity Lang, much less explain them and if I invented them I’d be falsifying something I don’t want to falsify.” “Taking charge of everything” Novels or biographies, it makes no difference.

I think eventually, if we’re able to get it going, there are some other writers I want to fold into that process whom I’ve worked with before I think they would be really fabulous for a very small, intimate writers’ room where we can continue to break it.” But I have a pilot script I’m thrilled with and a very detailed outline for the first season and a broader outline for the subsequent seasons. And having lived with this project as long as I have, I have an enormous amount of it worked out in my brain.
