Post by: Human Snorenado on November 01, 2007, 02:35:37 PM: I'm totally doing it because I only have 2 jobs this month (which will take me a total of about 12 hours probably) and I've always wanted to write a fucking novel. I started writing notes and outlines earlier today.

The hardest part is going to be avoiding the internets and working on this novel. But fortunately the house I'm living at doesn't have wireless so if I take my laptop into my bedroom I can totally do it, I think.

Spanish Royal Pirates and Italians

Preferably the bear variety

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on November 01, 2007, 02:46:38 PM: I have an idea I still like more than a week after I came up with it, which is rare.

I'm aiming for a kind of weird tone--the closest parallel out there would be There Are Doors by Gene Wolfe.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 01, 2007, 03:33:58 PM: I thought about it. Then I thought about playing Naruto 360.

...

hoooo, and to think I wanted to be a novelist.

What a cigarillo, to sell out your aspirations to some wacky jappy boooolshit.

I myself will be ready to start writing about English Terry the Illegal Immigrant later tonight or probably tomorrow. I have to walk dogs and go grocery shopping... but it's awesome now that the beaches aren't being used during the week, it's one big sandbox for dog shit.

Post by: Robo on November 01, 2007, 05:19:20 PM: I would love to do this, and as much as I need a creative outlet, I probably should.

But I am way too lazy.

Ok I think I have a good idea I put in a blender for a month and come out with something completely excreble. What would you consider to be "novel sized" though?

NaNoWriMo defines it as 50k words (1667 / day)

Post by: xnikki118x on November 02, 2007, 05:26:53 AM: I always think about doing it, but I never do.

I used to write so much, so often, and I haven't in such a long time. :(
