Started a new novel

[donteatpoop]

It's called High Score.

It's still very much in the early stages of development, but most of it is pretty clear in my head.

The first few pages can be found here if anyone is bored/interested.

[Vesnic]

I was wondering why you'd been so quiet around here lately.

I'll be sure to check it out soon, Poop.

[Locke]

So, what of "Untitled" and "Of Stones and Stars"?

[End Master]

I was wondering about those too.

It's weird since I did a really short CYOA called High Score once. (Totally different though)

Are you still working on Foresight?

[donteatpoop]

Of Stones and Stars is on the back burner a bit, Forsight is still in the fridge, and Untitled Novel is on the counter spoiling.

[donteatpoop]

DEP, I pity you.

I'm glad I don't have to answer for all the crap I've started and left to rot. (It's a lot, for those who don't know.)

It's because people actually like the stuff I started.

You wouldn't understand.

Zing! So true. How many one-room fragments do you have?

It's an interesting start, DEP. Not only am I totally clueless as to the title's significance, I have no idea what will happen next. I can't even tell if Joel is going to turn out being magical in someway. Half of your stories are grounded in farce-reality, and half are grounded in supernatural-reality. Were it not for the tone of the work, I could totally see the nice woman getting hit by a roller coaster just for wearing a cursed costume.

My blog has a few more details on what is to come, if you're bored/interested. The ideas are rather scattered on there, but the basics are there. And yeah, there's that underlying strange-magic thing going on in this one.

[Usoki]

That sounds awesome. I have no idea how you'd conclude it, but it's a very intriguing plot device.

[donteatpoop]

Thanks. I'm hoping that the ending will come to me as I reach that point and build the characters more. I tend to get direction for the ending as I get closer to writing the ending.

[apotheosis]

Good luck DEP, this whole novel thing is much more difficult than I anticipated.

[Usoki]

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[donteatpoop]

Indeed I wouldn't.


(People love what I write.)

I'm not sure what's worse, that it took you two days to come up with a come-back, or that that was your comeback.

[donteatpoop]

It may shock you to find this out, DEP, but I don't actually spend every waking moment on here.

Crazy, right?

So many sinks to pee in, so little time...

[donteatpoop]

That you pee no longer in sinks has little impact on your chances of living it down.
