Okay, I've been working on my WIP for some time now and I'm stuck. Can you help me go from here?

This is what I have so far:

"Jack Romano"

What next, any suggestions?

Well I think the natural response is:

", you're hereby charged with lecherous conduct, the public display of female undergarments and abduction of countless lawn gnomes. How do you plead?"

Have him dive off a bridge just before a bomb explodes behind him.

Perhaps he's on the run from Shriners.

Mhm...

"Jack Romano, Sex Machine For Hire, Fireman Stripper Model #10301 was accidentally called when a birthday cake candle went out of control; he arrived on the scene with his crotch panel barely masked behind a latex speedo, his fireproof coat swirling behind him, and promptly combusted."


I suppose from there you could write a seventy book saga on the mafia threatening to destroy the candle companies? I figure if they're each 10k words, and you're on cocaine, and your advances average to about $200 per book, you can make around ten thousand dollars in a week.

"Jack Romano wasn't nearly as dead as they thought."

Jack Romano was a legend in his own mind.
Bit of a cliché, but makes one wonder...why.

Here's some advice from a pro:

Jack Romano looked at his feet, looked at the ice in his life. He had not realized he lived in a Curling Rink!

'Jack Romano wondered vaguely why his life was so boring.'

Sounds like another vampire/werewolf blood feud to me. Jack Romano: Lycanthropic P.I. Feel free to use that as your title. Heh.

Jack Romano dived out of the computer screen, grabbed the rather surprised author with both hands and started shaking him. "WRITE ME!" He roared. "WRIIIIIITE MEEEEEE!"

I bolded my additions, which make this title exactly the sort of story the agents are looking for. It's the next big thing.
