So how is that book coming along, anon?
>>24798397I have not written a single word. I just have a few notes here and there, and often think about it, but never write anything.
I'm gonna go work on editing it right now.
It's done. Didn't have success pitching it anywhere. Happy I finished it.
It's shitty. I barely have inspiration to write a comment, let alone a book.
Great. I've been working on it on and off for 11 years. I've realized recently that stories about couples reconnecting in different bodies across generations is already pretty played out, as are magical girls and mysterious small towns, but I think the surrealist, dissociative tone I've been honing is pretty unique, and I haven't found any other stories that deal with two headed girls, especially two headed girls who are actually fragments of one single consciousness which the protagonist tries and maybe succeeds in reuniting in a quadrinity with their two single headed sisters. By the time I finish it in 2027 I'm confident I'll be able to get at least three or four people to actually read it and tell me I did a nice job.
I wrote a long commentary on the Organon that’s hundreds of pages long but it’s just for me, sorry.
>>24798425You must have been pissed when Your Name stole your shit
>>24798442Not particularly. Although it seems like a good omen that Your Name's creator was struck down with pedophilia and imprisoned.
>>2479839766K words written so far. So far have only gone through each chapter twice (draft zero and then a tidy-up/edit before moving one)
>>24798425>I've been working on it on and off for 11 years.
>>24798483If I'd released it 5 years ago it would have basically been low romantasy slop. It takes time to develop genuine literature.
>>24798397I've had a pretty good evening of writing, thank you for asking
>>24798397Kinda bad. Keeps devolving into smut or body horror.
>>24798517>It takes time to develop genuine literature.But you're not doing that.
>>24798397Ya'll book writers are posting in LWC or saving your money shot for the camera?
>>24799015I write short stories for comps and share some of those here but I've only shared parts of my novel with IRL writing friends.
I wrote 300,000 words years ago but the concept was unpublishable generic YA epic Dune-ripoff slop.Now I want to write about half-inch tall people living near highway cloverleaf with several kingdoms, I have a lot developed about how they live and their culture and such. They're terrified of humans discovering them and capturing them to study them in labs, so when a human child discovers the edge of one of their kingdoms farther away, they consider killing him. Well, the kingdom that the child might does, and it is already distrustful of the others, so when they don't want to kill a child they accuse them of not honoring a pact, a huge war breaks out, and their fear of being destroyed my humans leads to them destroying each other, in le epic ironic moment.
>>24799084Wow sounds great anon consider suicide
>>24799084Breaking bad did it better
>>2479839761k words in out of 200k . So far I love it, but I'm such a lazy writer. In fact I'm supposed to be sitting right now but I'm too busy procrastinating on 4chan.
>>24799093huh? how so?>>24799090why? is it that bad?
>>24799124I was just teasing you buddy. Gotta toughen you up a bit so you can be a real big writer.
>>24799124When they steal the train and they get caught by a little kid. This tiny hidden world being discovered by a kid. (Walter white and his drug empire) and the big war that goes into the decision to whether or not kill the kid. (Jesse hates Todd for killing the kid) this “war” destroys everything.
>>24799124Watch the episode dead freight with your idea in mind.
>>2479839760k novella and 30k novel in the works, 2nd and 3rd draft respectively.had a story published in a mag recently.all this despite a brutal day job that chews up way too much time and life force.I’d say it’s coming along well.
>>24799241*novel, novella.potatoes, etcetera
>>24798433For years I thought Organon was just the name of a steroid manufacturer.
>>24799157>>24799161oh shit you're right.yeah I did see that episode and makes sense.>>24799128alright alright
