Spooky Electric And The Revolution.

For years I have had the desire to write a book using Prince references as a jumping point for a story and finally I did. The story came to my while in my friend Wendy’s car. We were listening to a Prince mix CD I made for her when I recounted the ‘Black Album’ story and how Prince blamed it all on an entity called “Spooky Electric”, and I was determined to create a story with “Spooky Electric” as the main villain and a boy named Camille (Prince’s alter ego from 1987). If you are a big Prince nerd like me you will notice on almost all aspects tons of Prince references… all the characters are from the world of Prince, as are the cars, places and even some of the events. All of the references are utilized in a story of my own creation. I have actually never had any one person actually read the whole thing, so I don’t know whether it is good in the eyes of others, but for me it was a goal that I accomplished and a story I loved inventing, writing and, best of all: finishing! If you get to the end and hate it: I am sorry. If not tell me: I would love to know if it is any good… or bad: tell me either way!!

I'm roughly half-way through your story, and you obviously have some good writing skills,

or I wouldn't even try to finish it......but I'm actually planning on it.

So far it seems like a cross between the Batman movies, The Wizard of Oz, and Powder. lol

I have had the thought, but who would want to do it besides me? When I was writing it I was thinking the whole time how amazing it would be as a Hayao Miyazaki film, but that wouls certainly never happen... I can dream though.

I actually started writing it as a screenplay, but all my screenplays become like this story: too darn big for a poor person like me to realize fully, so around where Chapter Three started I went back and started treating it as a book.

Thank you! I am happy to hear what you think of the whole thing (Even if you don't like it)!

I'll answer you eventually........I read more today....but I'm a bit side-tracked

on some other things. I really will let you know what I think of the ending.
