Do you plan to write a book someday?

I see it’s been a while since this thread has gotten some action, but here’s a tip for anyone interested:

Have you guys checked in to NaNoWriMo (National November Writing Month)? The goal is to write a 50k word novel in a month. It’s very treacherous but if you get a significant amount done (even if you don’t hit the 50k word count) it’s very rewarding. I’ve never been able to get past the first week, but I plan on trying again this year… as I have the past two years xP

Yes I do plan on writing a book. A series of Sci-Fi stories intended for ages 12 and up in fact.
I have my first book halfway finished but I need to do some revision to check for consistency errors.

#53

I like to write, I may. I usually like to write about adventure, action, Fantasy, and Mystery.

#54

What kind of stories would you write about philipsteele? If you don’t mind me asking.

I was actually wiriting a book and it was going well even spoke to a publishing company about self publishing. But my laptop crashed and all my work was lost so I decided to pursue my career goal (racing) and leave writing for when I retire.

I am considering writing a screenplay right now. In college I am talking a fiction writing class. I think I have a great idea for an animated film.

Oh, good plans for writing Race&Animationfan!

#57

Writing a story right now :smiley:

#58

I wish I had a good idea like you guys said, I just have more the love of writing than an idea to go with it :smiley: That’s always been my problemo

#59

I figure I’ll show you the story I’ve been writing.

This isn’t the updated version. So this is only the beginning of it.

Well, I have this awesome story idea I’ve been working on for the last couple of years. I’ve always wanted to write stories, but only this latest one has been any good. The others were these trippy mash-ups of whatever books I happened to like at the time. I write whenever it comes to me, but I really should write more :confused: What’s important to me right now is creating strong, fully developed characters. Without that, I’m not going anywhere. And that just takes time.

That sounds great! And you’re right, afterall, Rome wasn’t built in a day!

#62

Aw, thanks! And you would like it- it involves history :smiley:

#63

Well how are you planning on tackling it so it doesnt turn out to be a plan anymore?

#64

Sweet! What sort of history?

#65

All sorts, really! Not sure yet what time periods I want to focus on, but it’ll probably include bits of everything from the time of the American colonies onward. Definitely will involve Industrial Revolution(s), WWII, the 50s, 60s, 70s. A longtime obsession with Pride and Prejudice means that the Regency’s going to be involved, too :smiley:

#66

That seems like a Epic Tale Guilt! It’s like the ‘neverending hi-story’!

I’m still in the progress of finishing my four-part novel series, with just one last book to go and about halfway through the book as well. Finally, After 2 years of good focus and 1 year of on-and-off writing, I’ve finally come to the close with my very first serious novel!

#67

At the direction my life is going, I might hope to write a book some day. But we’ll definetely see.

#68

Thanks! Yours sounds great too. Congrats on getting close to the end! I’m sure you’re excited :smiley:

#69

I’m more relieved than excited. I can finally work on other projects with it out of the way!

I’ve just joined a site called Wattpad. It’s a book writing/reading site.
