I think I've decided on a title for my novel: Crimes Against Comedy. Now, I just have to figure out what sort of plot and characters fit inside it.

It's a little odd writing the title before the book, but it's an intriguing concept. What is a crime against comedy? Is it the work of a bad comedian? Is it plagiarism? Would "Comedy" even press charges? It's a difficult concept. As you can see, there are a lot of questions that the title suggests, and it'll be interesting to explore them.

Right now, I think the book's going to be about a support group for former clowns that gets embroiled in big-city municipal politics.

So far, reactions include, "Better than your last idea for a novel," and "sounds a little too much like Batman."

I think we've got a winner.

I'm dreaming of a book containing all bad puns. Or just medium puns. Thus being in itself a Crime Against Comedy.

This may be why I'm not a "writer".
