    what is the longest peice you've left unfinished

    Discussion in 'General Writing' started by PurpleLotusRebirthMatrix, Feb 26, 2017.

    I wrote a 35,000 word mess when i was a sophomore in high school. it was about a astronaut that used a solar sail to get around a star system, though he stays on one planet the whole time. the once queen of the planet gives him, like, superpowers so he can overthrow the faction that is in control... there was an underground city and everybody there was immortal. It's just a convoluted mess.

    So whats the longest piece you've left unfinished or abandoned? Why'd you do it?

    I once wrote a piece about 50,000 words, about a bunch of schoolboys who crashed on a desert island, One of them was called Ray, and another Miss Piggy. They discovered a conch and decided that should be the centre of their makeshift government. Then another kid called Jake uses the pretence of a downed pilot to take over in a bloody coo. I got that far before I realised Jane Austin had previously written something very similar.

    The french don't use vowels at the end of words.
