First Draft [Action/Video] It was a cold and dark night...

cuffmeonce: (WTH)
Beckett! Where are you! You know I’m counting on you to save my lily white a—
[Castle looks wildly, dramatically around the area, taking stock and noting that he is not in New York City anymore. He’s got his bullet proof vest on that says writer across the front and a gun in a holster on his belt. The safety is on. The safety is always on because Beckett insists]

This is an interesting turn of events. I—uhm—I’m Rick Castle. You might have heard of me before. I am a best selling novelist. You might even recognize me from the ruggedly handsome photo on the back of my books. I’m also a consultant with the NYPD and my partner…she’s going to be mighty upset when she finds out I’ve been kidnapped…

[He pauses again, considering the situation]

Beckett? If this a prank it’s not a very good one.

Pretty much. I mean it's what I'd do if I were writing it.

No.No no no. I had the idea first. I said that's the way I would do it if I were writing it. Meaning I've written it before. Derrick Storm. He and his partner communicated via eye blinks and the morose code system, letting the murderer think they were onto his best friend.

Like that guy who blinked TORTURE in Morse Code during the North Vietnamese TV interview so the US would know he was being tortured?

Something like that but more full sentences and less televised.

It went over well with the readers. Most writers will tell you that everything's already been written or done. There are just new ways to write it.

Re: [Voice] I am so tempted to app Nikki Heat.

I've written a few books, but they're mostly technical manuals.

I like mysteries though, I'll have to see if the library here has your books.

If you can find the latest one, Heat Wave, Beckett is the inspiration for the character and there's a steamy sex scene on page 157.

...why would it be? I work with her every day. Nikki Heat is not Beckett. She's more of a muse.

Still, awkward.

I wonder if the library as the whole series. That's one great thing about this place, it's displaced in time, so you don't have to wait a long time for the next book in a series.

If you say so.

I think I'll leave anything about me or that I haven't written yet alone.

So what do you do? I don't think I even know your name. Did you introduce yourself?
