A screenplay

whiffling through the tulgey wood. A screenplay.

A blogger in his late twenties writing about nothing gets sued by the heirs of a renowned children's book for pernicious misappropriation of their ancestors' famous books. The blogger, unknown to any type of notice much less notoriety, basks in the media frenzy and receives an offer from a well known film director to make a movie about the events. Prone to bouts of chemical and alcohol ingestion, his new found notoriety leads to a series of involvements with supermodels(a girl named Alice), drug addicts, hollywood actors, agents, producers, writers, magazine editors as well as lawyers and literary publishers as the court case and movie proceeds. Reality spills into reality until our hero is like Ignatius Jacques Reilly down the rabbit hole talking to the mad hatter.
