《The Editor Gets A Second Chance》


 Back to the Past?

    These stories never get a good first chapter. It''s usually an abrupt start.


    Well, get used to it.


    I don''t have time to explain everything to you.


    I lived for 39 years.


    I got married once, divorced, no kids.


    I worked as an editor and became friends with some medium big named directors, maybe you''ve heard of them, maybe you haven''t. I won''t name them because if you don''t know them, it''d be awkward when I boast about it, and I''ve made that mistake too many times to count.


    Anyways, I''m busy, I have to work on this script and get the copyright before the original writer can.


    Stolen story; please report.


    Oh right, I died.


    Yep, died. It''s a long story, but you''ve heard it before. At least you should have. If you''re from my time that is.


    In the future, there should be thousands of stories about a second chance.


    I died, got sent back in time, and now I''m trying to make use of my knowledge from the past to get ahead.


    I know, it''s a little scummy.


    Well... It isn''t THAT scummy, minus the part where I plagiarize the work of someone else.


    And yeah, maybe I could write something original, but that would take A LOT more time and would be a lot less financially responsible. Why would I waste time trying to make some crappy original when I have a wide category of guaranteed works at my disposal?


    Anyways, I need to get started RIGHT NOW. If I want to accomplish my ambitions that is.


    I want to make something great, something that was unimaginable in my past life.


    I want to make something that people will enjoy for YEARS, for the rest of their life even.


    It''s going to be pretty epic, but I have so little time and so few funds.


    And I need funds. ALOT of FUNDS. MONEY.


    I NEED A LOT OF MONEY.


    I''m so tired right now. Someone, please send help, I''m gonna die... again.
