DEAD CHICKS ARE HOT
cold I would think
I plotted an entire novel today.
I'm going to see how fast I can write a novel of roughly 100k words
what's the gist
written before?
Yes, but never as extensively or as committed as now. I have a decent body of unpublished stuff, but all short stories and novellas, all rough.
I wrote one novel but it is very rough . this will be a much better and more complete project
but I also write for a living so the writing isn't the problem it's more the learning how to structure a story competently
the gist of this one is basically a fantasy setting government intrigue novel
cool
fantasy, classics , and nonfiction
nonfiction including religious stuff
what in fantasy
get this @UOC and read the two short story collections: http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?p=3597768
formerly, epic fantasy. NOW, strictly the more literary stuff. Le Guin, Wolfe, Mervyn Peake, David Lindsay, ER Eddison, etc
Seed of Evil and Knights of the Limits
I've grown to dislike Le Guin
she's not bad, but there's a certain undercurrent in her stories
that with her recent shitlibbery has become distasteful
hate*
yeah, that's fair
Like how the white man for no reason goes crazy to justify killing him in World for World is Forest
I strongly recommend the short story collections I mentioned above
I'll grab it for sure
@UOC I RECOMMEND PLOTTING
I love short stories
THE WRITING ITSELF IS NOT HARD
imagination and consciousness expanding stuff
BUT AFTER YOUR 1-5K WORDS A DAY EDITING NEEDS INCREASE
I'm into that. My stuff always ends up very esoteric
nobody includes enough occult stuff for me since Lovecraft and those guys
I weary of the epic fantasy in a random alternate world thing
with a pointlessly materialist magic system
AGREED
TOLKIEN DID CONSISTENCY RIGHT
EVERYONE ELSE IS RANDOM INFLUENCES IN A BLENDER
SOME HIDE THEM WELL LIKE J.K. ROWLING
yeah seems like good writers bullet point the story out in advance and dial in details
