I'm working on a sci-fi novel. Trying to finish chapter one, but it's going really slow. That's okay, though. I'd rather have something of good quality that took me a long time to write than something of bad quality that only took me a few hours. Speaking of that, are you going to post more, Kid At ?
While my computer is down, I've resumed a long-ongoing project: Writing scripts for a movie series my friends and I plan to shoot someday. It's humorous nonsense on a sugary overdrive, and fun as heck to write.
(If that question was directed at me...) Yes, somewhat like that. Although I'd like to make it a mix of that, with 1984 and a little We. Inspiration from anywhere is pretty much where I'm at.
My current project is a nameless fantasy novel that I hope will end up being at least 50, 000 words when I'm done with it.
Got another Chapter done in 'A Tale of War', and quite a bit of the first chapter done in 'The Three Cycles'.
I'm working on a sort of crime/mob sort of story set in the 1920's/30's but with some pseudo-scientific technology. And also a steam/dieselpunk story. (and a bunch of other projects but these are the main ones)
Nice. Do you guys focus on one at a time, or pound out an entire novel and then move onto the next one?
Mostly working on a few crime-based short stories. Eventually I plan to tie them together (since the narrator is the same person) and perhaps get it published somewhere. Probably not. I'm also working out the kinks in a plotline I decided on. The closest thing I can think of would be a combination of The Idiot and The Stranger. I'm tempted to play on this and title it something starting with "The ___", probably "The Liar."
Just pounded out another 2000 words of 'A Tale of War'. Think I have a basic idea for: 1. The Last Chapter 2. Carpet Bombing of London 3. Need to include Iwo Jima/Midway 4. Hiroshima/Nagasaki
I currently have three on the go. 1. Un-named its my nano story, though I hit my 50k words, the story itelf is no where near finished, and I cant for the life of me think of a title for the damn thing. 2.Final life. Its a fantasy vampire story, basically this is the third time with 'the one' the last two times she has died, but this time he is trying to avoid her and hopeful avoid her dying on him for a third time. 3.Un-named (yeah I am rubbish at thinking up titles) Part of the writing course on Holly Isle's site Forward Motion. A woman has been reincarnated as a shapeshifter. The fates have given her the task of stopping a murderous vampire. The catch is, is that the vampire is her from a former life. As vampires dont have souls her soul was reincarnated.
Right then, I've slowly developed a new idea. A tale of War will finish in another 3-4 four days, and I prefer to have two novels running, so i've jotted down notes for The Three Cycles as well as a novel about this nondescript hitman, his life, relationships, likes, dislikes, obviously his job, and hopefully it should become a nice character driven story, with some nice dailog as well, I've already fleshed out his character in some detail, sounds quit exciting right now.
I work religiously on one until I just can't bear it any more, then I move to another one. Of course, the result is a dozen works with barely two thousand words to their names, but... Right now I'm working on an untitled piece that is "realistic" in the sense of it could technically happen, but what with the schizophrenic characters and those with multiple personalities is entirely implausible and may end up taking on a few fantasy characteristics.
Well well, finally got started on 'The Modern Man', I can visualize maybe the first three chapters, so we'll see how far we get then.
I have shifted the organization of my novel slightly. I was originally going to take the story sequentially through the millenia, which would not introduce my second principal character until near the end of the first part (the entire saga has a clear dividing point between Parts 1 and 2). I have now decided to shift back and forth, introducing the second character in the second or third chapter, then switching story lines between them every chapter or two until they converge. I think this organization ties the entire work together better, especially as the second principal character is also the one who bridges the division between the two parts. Progress is continuing on the chapters themselves. I don't believe in word counts, though, because inevitably large pieces get removed. That can be the hardest work of all!
I'm working on a series, which will never be, bah! It's on the lives of eight children and how a mother does have the power to destroy herself if she ever breaks a bond with her child! It's all crunched up, and I have around 20 plots in hand!! But don't have the time, what with boards on head and I don't even know where to get started.
I'm working on a fantasy story that centers around a homunculus girl who's made as a weapon to reformat the world. I mainly wanted to write the type of story where the bad guys are a band of Knight Templar characters who had what's best for the world at heart (well, maybe the Big Bad does), and where the means justify the end. It's stalled like a car with no engine. The world is more interesting than the story. I enjoy working on the world.
I've got about twenty or so fanfics I need to finish, I have "1945" - a story set in WW2 about a fictional Marine Corps on an island in the Pacific and I have "End of Days" - a story about a U.S. paratrooper in Vietnam during the closing stages of the war.
Yeah, I just chopped off like 200 words off a 600 word short story, it works that way, but quality over quantity always eh!
No... I have neither Xbawks nor PStrois ;_; I meant "Knight Templar" as in someone who's doing the wrong things for the right reasons. The main villain is a character named Kether Malach, and after everyone he knew died in the July War (July's a country, not a timeframe) he decided that the world needed to be recreated. He got seeds from the Sephiroth, The Tree of Life, and ate them, giving him great powers and he and his band of wartorn misfits (only about three of the six really care about anyone else) created two Homonculi to take to the world tree and pretty much reboot all of creation for the better. And if he fails, well, he'll just use the old Adrian Veidt as a back-up plan and unite the world through fear. Though instead of using a Logic Bomb in the form of a fake alien, he'll just have them unite against him. Knight Templar is a term from TVTropes. I've spent most of the last few weeks on an "Archive Binge"
I am writing a story about a girl growing up in a family unloved. She is cared for so outsiders do not see what is happening. I start at birth and show what it does to her mentally. It may not be a nice story but I think it needs to be told.
A story about a guy who dreams of a girl from the future... or something. Figured out a few plot points, haven't figured out how to start the story, haven't figured out the bad guys, and so-on and so-forth. *sigh*
I'm working on the last book in a 5-book series (I self-published the first three, then took them off of the internet for revision). It's a fantasy, based in a world that's sort of an allusion to earth, with various races of sentients (there aren't just humans, mind), and a constantly brewing plotline. I would take up too many words trying to explain it all, but to make it short, it's based around a group of holy warriors, their god, and their goddess, all working and fighting to bring peace and glory to their world.
