Here's a quick update. And I swear to god I'm being honest!
EDIT: FUCK.A little earlier this week, I started another novel that I occasionally mention, bringing my total to eight now. If anyone really cares, it's basically my take on Highlander (which I decided after I first devised the story), and it was originally inspired by an AMV of Mirai Nikki, of which I have seen one episode since (mindfuck!). Speaking of AMVs, the one about MLP won despite not being an anime OR a music video.Additionally, for those who didn't catch it, I'm writing from the frustrating first-person viewpoint of a teen girl who gets her life torn to shreds. Yeah. Fuck happy endings. That's what I say.I totally pressed Ctrl+S just now. Shows how long I've been in MS Word.I just hit the 20,000 word mark, bringing the total now to 70 pages.In case you guys were wondering, I've been a little (slightly) less active than I usually am, particularly in the IRC. I've also been quite irritable, and I can tell you right now that Purianite has gotten the full brunt of it. Funny thing is, I'm not frustrated. I'll make my deadline of April 3rd easy at this rate. Honestly I think I'm having trouble getting out of character, especially since I tore into Purianite after an interruption from writing a particularly action-filled scene.I also had a lovely thing happen to me earlier where I was writing a scene and broke out into uncontrollable shivering. I could hardly type, because my hands were shaking so much.As with every other novel of mine, I'll keep it secret except for the fair few who express interest. But then again, you're not my audience, 64D. =(For the record, 25% in word count. That is all. Watch now as I use reverse psychology and say that this blog will get next to no comments, and it will actually be true.If I bitch at you, I'm just acting and having trouble resuming my normal self! Don't take it personally. =>Right now I am resuming being a girl. Carry on, 64D. Carry on.
my mom's novel(la) is a little over 20,000 words, and we consider it a complete book. so kudos :o i'm not sure if i'll ever try writing personally.
A novella is a book for the same reason two slices of bread is a sandwich
I should have paid attention to more of your blogs. Your novel sounds interesting.
Also, don't be so mean. :(I destroy teenage girls' lives all the time, and they're not very mean to me about it.Are your blogs all works of fiction? :V
Given the latest entry of my book, I think I've pushed from 13,000 to about 16,000.I started mine in mid-February, though, so you write fast ._.No, but fiction is as easy to create for me as a game or piece of artwork. :P
Actually, my writing folder, which is full of scraps of fiction is weighing in at around 400KB (All .txt files, some dating back to 2008).well i was referring to a non-fiction account of living with a cocaine addict, so it carries a bit more weight than fiction writing, no offense. the online blog she was writing it on is hidden now while she edits it, maybe i can see about getting it back up.
I can't watch your avatar without imagining Akio's "Oh-oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah…!"
@Taizen: I've been writing for about ten years, man. Experience is on my side. If I have an idea that I really think is good (and trust me, even with my own work, I'm my own demonic critic), I'll write for long periods very frequently.
And in regards to fiction versus nonfiction, I only write fiction. I'm not pro enough yet to make a story out of something real, especially since all of my novels are based on some supernatural theme. Though, I've written "realistic fiction", as you might call it.And regarding which is more viable, well, that all comes down to how well you can tell a story, along with your style. If you can pull in a reader with facts and the words "True Story", then nonfiction writing would be great for you. But if you're like me and enjoy creating characters and situations from scratch, growing with them, watching them get torn apart or doing something great, then any sort of fiction, no matter how realistic or fantastical it is, could be your strong point, too.And now that someone's finally commented on my avatar, time to change it!
