What's this NaNo thing all about? ...Oh yeah, story writing. I'm working on a script. I'm absolutely stuck for inspiration. Really looking forward to having to warble out pages about foreign ownership levels
Joob!
A script about Foreign ownership... Sounds.... Exciting... Sorta.
Foreign owenership because the company the Australian comany wants to buy out is in Singapore
Although there is actually some interesting stuff in it too.
If you're interested in protests, union rights and enstranged sisters
Mkay.. O-o Where do estranged sisters come into the whole thing?
o-O is right
Brett, the guy at the head of the deal at the Australian end, realises he's going to be fired when the big cheese finds out he's just tried to buy a Singapore airline with falling business and huge debt. So he get his enstranged sister to write lots of stories in the paper (she's a journalist - old family ties save the day!!) about public and union opposition to the sale which HE is the one who started... disguised as an Asian... and hopes that'll be enough of an excuse to stop the deal going ahead.

Did that make sense?
About half of it.
Except after he starts off the public opposition he realises it's real. The Sinagpore people don't want one of their national icons sold off and given a profit-orientated overhaul
One of the other main characters is one of the employee representatives... he accepts the deal only so that if the Singapore business goes broke, everyone will still have jobs. The others can't see his point of view and start to see him as a traitor.
But we all have a happy ending, so that's good!
Now to get down to writing all of this...
