You got a PM

Namo's such an ass.

You've got an email.

I'm just reading . And yes, it's a little unusual with the present tense, but I'd get used to it after a little reading, I'm sure.

But it's well written, so don't worry about Namo; after all he hasn't read it yet, has he?

My second thought: the structure of the sentences is often very similar, you might want to think that over.

How far have you gotten up to now?

[Fiction Writer]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 1:43pm

I just finished chapter 61.
I don't know about the page, because I haven't updated the "Final Draft" folder in a while.
What I usually do is write a 50 or so pages. Then me and Ivan spend a few hours editing them. I'll retype that up, and then paste it on the "Final Draft".
Final Draft is hardly the final draft though.
About the sentence structure, yes, I know. The latter stuff (chapter 61, for example) is more diverse.
That's only the prologue, you know
*wink

I'm back again!
God, driving 200 km/h is FUN!!!

What's up with Namo? Did his post get deleted?

[Fiction Writer]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 1:48pm

Read my thread about "Novels written in present tense".
He's being a jerk, as usual.

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 1:48pm

That's quite a big deal already, how many chapters are planned up to now?

Welcome back, Guy, for what reason were you racing with such a pace?

[JailyardGuy]

Don't crash.

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 1:52pm

Well, I have a courier job... And I try my best not to crash

Fiction, I read that thread and I didn't think Namo's post was very offensive... Maybe you overreacted a little?

Hey guy.

I'm not sure yet. In the over all story, ther's still a lot to be said. Most chapters aren't as long as the prologue.

I have an outline, but if something important comes up, I write about it. Most of this draft has been written that way.

I don't even have an ending yet.

Thanks for the compliment, btw.

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:00pm

But... you know what's going to happen in the end, right?

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:09pm

To me finding the right, logical and yet catching ending is about the toughest part of writing a novel.

I myself once started writing a spy novel, but I dropped the writing after a few hundred pages for a lack of time...

[Fiction Writer]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:13pm

I know how the short story ended, but the characters are so different now than they were then.

It wouldn't be right.

And this is a purely organic experience. I write whatever comes out. I'm sure the ending will be spectacular, and be the best possible ending.

I'm not going to force anything.

Where did Jessica disappear to btw.?
She didn't even read my DP-PM... Maybe she was so shocked by Jaily's PM that she threw the computer to the floor by mistake.

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:16pm

That would be sad and expensive then, after all she was in an internet cafe . Hopefully she didn't hurt anybody...

[Fiction Writer]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:17pm

Did you get the video about the Dell computer prank?

I hope Jessica's computer is fine.

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:21pm

Video?

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:21pm

God, I can see her, lying on the floor of the internet cafe surrounded by parts of the broken computer, shaking and screaming things like
"THEY TOLD ME WHAT DP MEANS!!!"

Wee, I guess she just ran out of money again... :)

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:37pm

I'm sure, she's at least alive .

Or on the other hand: maybe after finding out what dp is, she just wanted to instantly try it out
One never knows...

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:38pm

She'll hate you when she reads that comment!

[Fiction Writer]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:41pm

Earlier, I was on break.com looking at all these stupid videos. And then I'd share the really funny ones with Guy.

I guess I didn't send the Dell one. Some guy called into QVC and said that the Dell computers are great for porn. The hosts are quite shocked, but they go right with it.

FRANKLIN! That's not exactly the reaction I had when reading the lovely definition...
Honestly I didn't even realize that was physically possible. *shudders*

Actually I was still at work earlier and my boss came in so I had to get off BWW asap.

Uh oh. Bosses can be scary. I'm glad I don't have one.
