writing a book?

Ask messageboard users about what you should write about.
Say things like "I've just started this book, but I don't
really know what to write about". Make observations about
people not talking on trains.

I really don't feel like posting this because i can just see
the barage of witicisms you will splay accross the page with
your inillectual yet down to earth critique of how the
things i find interesting, or like to comment on, are infact
null and void to you're ineffible view.

in other words you will rip the piss out of me and i
shall feel stupid as usual!

i've tried to start two books, they're not going anywhere
though. i'm far superior at poetry than i am at prose.

by the way, i like what i'm reading here. i'll have a more
in-depth opinion once i've made some progress on my geology
research paper.

it's good enough that you should at least keep writing it.

in other words, it's too short for me to decide if it sucks.

what to call him.

yeah, I'm serious.. white-ish text on black background isn't
good.. especially not for people with migraines.

I'm reading the text, but I've copy/pasted it to notepad.

i was gonna say that i didn't like the name phaite but i
didn't want to tell you how to write your own book.

but yeah i think you should only name him phaite if you
write into the book that his parents were beatniks or
trekkies or something.

yeah, but you can do some in-between thing.. like black text
on a blue or red or green or whatever background...
off-white.. eggshell, salmon, purple, cyanide, yellow, pink,
brown, grey... lalalal.

I feel like, if you want your audience to feel some
connection to this guy, he ought to have a pretty average or
semi-common name. or a good reason for having a wierd
uncommon name. otherwise it's like he's from the distant
future or from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

Phaet who about that?

There are some cool ideas such as trying to see what's
between each frame of vision. "phaite" is ok, doesn't really
matter, obviously a play on 'fate'. But it's too obvious the
character was made out of thin air. (The depth of his/her
character practically stops at his name.) That's not a
critisism of the rest of the story though; the character
just seems unnecessary. You can still write about the
matrix-esque ideas without that phaite dude trampling around
in them. And instead of simply referring to him as
"him"/"he", "phaite" is constantly used. I say eliminate the
character entirely. He takes a complete backdrop to the
ideas. Or... do whatever the hell you want. Yeah, I like
that second idea much better. *reply*

I agree at first he is VERY souless, but he will become more
human if not a little cold. Remeber there are some hints
"he waited impatiently for existence to arrive.

im going to put parts up as i go along. If anyone feels like
leaving comments on suggestions or mistakes i might not have
noticed please feel free. I've never written anything on
this scale before, im not claiming it will be good, or will
work out, but i am actually trying to do something creative
and have fun with it.

'Id like to read your story, infact me and a friend have
been writing a parody of The Lord of the Rings (comidic
slant). Perhaps we could talk about on msn, anyway good luck
I'll post my opinions once I've read it.:)

Here is the start of my book:

Richard was a big man. Some might even have referred to him
as a giant. That didn't bother Richard, though. Not one
bit.

Tom was of smaller stature. He made it up for it, though,
through a mentality that swerved steadily from "fookin
mental" to "lush and chilled".

Richard and Tom were good friends. Sometimes, they would
invent catchphrases together, like: "Come on you cunts,
let's have some Toilet Cleaner!" and several ones about them
being "the daddy".

TO BE CONTINUED...

Phaite stood at the train station, scuffing his worn
trainers against the chewing gum splattered pavement as he
waited impatiently for existence to arrive.


My firrst thoughts: Oh no!

I didn't rread everrything, but what I saw was betterr than
I expected. But what did I expect? Something says you won't
be able to drrag this 'storry' about fate out verry
farr. You should go back to the drrawing boarrd forr yourr
books sake and maybe think of a strrongerr frrame to build
yourr ideas arround.

I think you'll find it's called temporal LOBE epilepsy. I
suffer from it myself.

Also, I think your description of seizure triggers is a
little bit suspect. As far as I know, temporal lobe epilespy
is not triggered by "memories". My seizures occur entirely
at random if I fail to take my medication.

sorry i dindt know the name was that (changes name). My
friend Kim suffers from it, supposedly its different for
different people, for her its a certain memory that she cant
obviously remember because everytime she does she has a
siezure. at least thats how she described it to me. She said
that sometimes when shes concentrating on certain things and
then lets her mind wander she will trigger a seizure.
Obviously these explantions have been in the odd
conversation ive not in depth knowledge of it. Do you know
more where i could maybe read some specifics about it? ill
be honest its not a HUGE part of the story but its is
significant.

Anus_Presley: I dont think the plot is quite as obvious as
it would seem the intro is hinting at thier but obviously we
shall see hehe.
