The Early Makings of a Writer

 

NEW K.A.N.S.A.S.Dissatisfied with the way the adults are running the nation, a well-organized, underground society of intelligent kids demand the right to vote and to be given their own statehood or else. (The kids believe that voting should be based upon a person’s IQ, not their age.

Synopsis: ‘NEW K.A.N.S.A.S.’ (Kids’ Alliance National Society And Sanctuary): Discouraged with his lack of ability to control his own destiny fueled by his parents’ divorce and already fed up with the way the adults are running the country, a twelve year old boy forms a society to give children the Right to Vote and attempts to establish their own State in which to do it. All hell breaks when the U.S. Government starts to hunt down the leader and his underground network. In the meantime, the secretive children’s society is growing to an unbelievable size and there’s no stopping them now! TAGLINE: “Don’t underestimate the power of kids”
Although I’d originally wrote ‘NEW K.A.N.S.A.S.’ as a live action feature, it could also work as an ANIMATED feature-length movie as well. (The ‘Kansas’ in NEW K.A.N.S.A.S. stands for Kids’ Alliance National Society And Sanctuary)

 "WHY I NEED TO WRITE"......When you're born with an overbite, sizeable nose and other irregularities, sometimes the names that your classmates or your so-called playmate friends call you may not always be your first name, middle name or your nickname, but rather a name that stings and hurts. For some reason, my upper lip would overlap and cover up my front-upper teeth, so at first glance, everyone naturally assumed that I didn't have any upper teeth. To have kids and adults eyeball you  as a child and teasingly ask you, "Where's your teeth?" or  laughingly say, "Look, he ain't got no teeth!" are some of my worst moments during my childhood. At an early age I'd learned to keep a distance from certain kids and adults due to my exposure of being ridiculed and cruelly mocked as a child. It seems that my social and verbal skills weren't up to par as other kids my age, and I quickly found out that I could write and communicate better through words on a piece of paper than I could speak. I truly feel that I'm compelled to write. I absolutely need to write. Writing is a very calming and soothing factor in my life. Writing surely is like therapy for me, as it sort of became a form of both reaching out to others and simultaneously crying on the inside at the same time. I truly know that writing is the deepest part of me. It's certainly who I truly am. If anyone ever asks, "Who is Randy Camp anyway?" they only need to read my stories because each character that I'd ever created definitely has a bit of me within them.

'WET MATCHES: A NOVEL'  is now available in print edition or ebook version on Amazon.    "Wet Matches' tells the uplifting story of five homeless teens in rural Virginia getting a second chance at a better life when a couple on a high school reunion trip takes them on a cross-country journey to their new home in sunny California.
