Anyone ever wrote a book before?

I wrote Evans life story.
It was 2 pages long.
I stopped writing because I ran out of intereting/relevant thigns to say. Thats Evan for you.
Fucking twat.
 
i think you'd have a better chance if this were in words.
at least the responses will be serious.
if you don't think so, just mail me and i can open this back up.

I haven't personally, but I've known people who've written novels and novellas before. It only took him about 6 months to get the first draft of the novel done, but he worked pretty hard on it.
I suppose it really depends on if you're writing "War and Peace" or "The Little Engine That Could".
 
i have not written a book
i HAVE written innumerable short stories that i have compiled and given to friends
i have never been published (although all who read my work suggest that I should attempt to be)
the length of time that it takes is subjective
some ideas are so intense and well formed in my head before i put pen to paper that it's simply a matter of sitting long enough to pour the entire thing out of my arm - kinda like jerking off
sometimes it's like being constipated - almost more trouble than it's worth to sit there...
but it is a labor of love and if you are truly a writer (no one ever BECOMES a writer - you either are or you aren't)time ceases to be relevant when you are in that space of creation - so i honestly can't answer the question...
 
i've written the first chapter of my life at that time...that moment...that year...many times. never quite made it past the first chapter though..
'sup evan???? how are those dimples?????
 
I have started a hundred books. And realized soon after I started that "this isn't the moment to write a book about." I'm actually thinking of a concept for one... and I'm going to email you about it Evan, see what you think.
liquid porcelain is right. It's like anything you write - it could fly out of your pen like fire and your hand struggling to keep up with your mind, or it could drive you to tears by staying stuck in your brain. Depends on the subject matter and how you feel at any given moment during the entire process. But talk about rewarding, as far as experiences go, believing that what you have to say deserves to achieve immortality by being written down - that's beautiful. :)
 
i'm in the process of writing a novel right now. slowly but surely. it gets frustrating because i have this absolutely amazing idea in my head but sometimes i can't get it written down the way i want it. anyway, i expect it to be approx. 300 pages long. it starts seven years after the main character's rape. you follow the lives of the girl and her rapist, seperately but simultaneously. he (Eric) has kept track of her(Skye) since the year of the rape and goes back to find her. he draws her in (i'll keep how a secret) and they date. she falls in love with him, not knowing that he is the same man that raped her so many years ago. a few soft spoken words fling her into realization, all too late. they are engaged now, the wedding is set, and he's not going to let her go....
muahaha. i love it.

Hey Lilkelpixy--I think I read that synopsis on the back of a Romance novel when I was doing reshelving, working at Borders :p
:)
 
oh dear, it's noo romance novel. it's more like a stephen king type writing. the plot's more believable than it may sound. and you don't realize who the girl is until midway through. then comes all of the weird shit. i dunno. it's difficult to explain.

I've started a book, but writing a novel is a hard and difficult process (at least, for me it is). It has taken me a full year, so far, and I've only written 40 some pages (of course, of that year, I only spent about 1/2 actually writing). My story is set in middle ages and is a fantasy. That's about all, C-ya.

P.S Pixy - your story sounds quite interesting, actually. I am not much of a fan of Stephen King's writing style (his stories are normally good, though), but your story could be really captivating. It's an interesting idea...
 
I've been in the middle of writing a novel for the last few years... It hasn't got very far though because music comes first for me, and uni did, and work takes enough time too... It'll get there one day though, it's hardly even a quarter written (aiming for around 400 pages)
Its a fantasy/sci-fi hybrid about a race of humanoids who must free their home planet because their sun is dying and end up on a planet which should have been uninhabited but wasn't...
It's also where my Alias comes from, Tarsarlan is one of the main characters in the book...
 
i wrote 2 actually.. one was a short novel directed to HS age, and the other was a childrens book.. 4&5 y/os dig it.. my mom has written a bunch of kids storys that should really be published... :)
oh yeah... and my novel took me about 2 yrs to complete. and the kids book was a couple months.. incl. all the drawings for each page
