Well, other than the fact that I had to look up "Elevator Pitch" I'm doing good. I finally decided on a topic (sort of) and started an outline yesterday.

A failing playwright resurrects a zombie-esque Shakespeare and introduces him to modern writing tools in the hopes of revitalizing his own zombie-esque career.

And yes, I know zombie-esque isn't a real word, but it should be.
