I wrote half a page today. I don't really like how it's going, I think I'm being too ambitious.
I wrote a 500 page essay on your mom’s sex life it’s pretty long and gross. Didn’t know she enjoyed Cleveland steamers but what do I know?
I'm getting closer to the gay sex scene
Please post when you're done
I'm starting tomorrow
Currently editing the shitty first draft of my novella. Depending how it goes, am thinking of publishing it as a "Three Stories and a Novella" book.
It's coming along, slowly and steadily.
im writing about my unfortunate experience at my last job that lasted about 4 weeks. it's satisfying to write. i started yesterday. i have the urge to write more.
Haven't touched it in a month
I have not worked on it in some time. I’m beginning to hate the premise. Seems cliché. Might start with a new one.
I'm actually writing a short story.
I finished the first draft this month. I was down to eating just beans and rice for a whole year.
Still mulling over ideas. I think I’ve thought of something quite amusing which combines everything together. Not very literary though; not sure how I’d elevate it.
Research stage sorry
I'll never write it.
the less of myself that remains in this world after i go, the better.
The whole ordeal with the incest has been covered so now its a matter of dealing with its implications.
wrote 5 pages that were mostly bad and I already want to re-write, then i stopped because i couldn't figure out how to connect what i wrote to the next part
I got 2 short stories done
You mean my second novel or my biblical commentary? Second novel is ehh, I feel like there's a lot of good ideas for individual scenes but I need to really flesh out the connecting threads and make it feel more natural. I feel like I also need to read up and get more acquainted past shit I'm pastiching beyond a surface level to really bring it to the next level.
My biblical commentary is going great, I'm just lazy.
More than halfway done with my 2nd draft (can probably finish by Valentine's Day if I really push myself). Right now my MC can't find any plywood to board up his business during a crime wave, so he's gonna spend a week sleeping inside his shop on a shitty couch with a revolver in order to protect it, bathing in the rain naked and shitting his pants whenever night time comes.
I still jot down paragraphs every few days but I can't seem to set the stories wheels in motion, might as well rectify that in a few hours or a day cause I already have enough ideas I'm just thinking about pacing
I decided the story being as visual as it is better befits a comic book, so now I'm determined to write the first great and truly IQfy comic. I have to learn how to draw first though.
>First draft
> pg 140
I hate dialogue so godamn much. I can write a great stream of consciousness passage, and my descriptions of everything are above average. But, I can never write decent dialogue. I'm just have to constantly write absurdist, realism, and melo-dramatic dialogue for each individual (somewhat self-contained) sequence. While most of it doesn't work. I have no idea why I made the plot so intricate, so this shit has to happen
That anon.
AMA
>speak italian with my family
>read books in spanish and speak with my friends in spanish
>mainly use english online
I have lost any capability of writing in a gramatically correct way in any language, I cannot write a book anymore
Jokes on you, I never ever started writing.
I keep rewriting my opening mostly because I'm autistically anal about realism and can't get the opening right quite yet. Further more, I'm still trying to figure out how to write the impromptu missionary/pastor's past mistakes he made in his life heinous, but not have you ending up hating him. Though, might end up just biting that bullet and let whoever would read my story come to their own conclusions, like adults.
I uploaded two of them to RR. The one my friends and family like better is getting zero traction and the one I like the most is getting some moderate success
I've written several books ordered by companies in order to earn a living, but am now a tradie who builds and installs cabinets and other wood fittings in houses. On my own time I'm writing a non-fiction book on guerrilla warfare to publish for free, probably anonymously.
Am researching now by reading some other books, also need to catch up on rent and fix the computer it's stored on. The power supply is broken.
I started the book in a flash of inspiration that kept me up all night, wrote the beginnings sitting outside my house in the woods.
The idea is to harness the proven potential of protracted warfare and the most heavily armed population on Earth to create a guerrilla force unlike anything the world has ever seen.
This is necessary to take on the most powerful government in the world in a revolutionary struggle and succeed.
I pretty much only read the Bible and practical, non-fiction books on war. Today I will be finishing The Book of Isaiah which is also called "the graveyard of empires" much like Afghanistan.
that warfare book sounds interesting, could you tell me where it will be published?
I stopped writing and started lifting
I always tell friends and family that it is further along than it really is, but I will tell you the truth.
The last four chapters of draft 4 require editing. After editing draft 3, I went from 120k words to a bit over 60k words. I still have to draft one more time, a fifth time, because of style issues I want to fix. My deadline for this is by March 1st.
An editor wants to copy edit it, and I really liked the sample edit I received. So I want to get the manuscript in better shape. It could take months more to get this in a query-able state, and another year at least before it could be on a shelf. It has to be this way. I will start writing another book in the mean time. I've got no shortage of ideas.
20,000 words, which isn't much, but better than nothing.
The prologue plays over and over again in my head. Thinking about the following chapter to the direct events evades me like the plague even though it's just about the consequences of
Maybe I should try writing it out. But there's also a fundamental question of if I want time travel in the story or not. If I do, it's a singular character doing it, the main antagonist, and he's in a timeloop trying to get his 'perfect ending.' If I don't, then he has more of a 'golden path' kind of thing going where he can see the outcomes of different decisions ahead of time.
