or greatest payoff… one of the two, but maybe both? Who knows. Well, currently I’m reading a lot of grammar books, not to take them to heart, but to know when i fuck things up… I pray i only do it on purpose. On myspace I painted a picture for tom robbons and it’s now on his page… so maybe he’ll give me some advice… probably not, but who cares anyways. The guy is amired by all those who discover sex through his writings, and praise his myspace page. One guy wrote, “tom robbins writes with berry juice, and wears a goat crown…” Well, he didn’t say that, but something like that. I should have wrote, to mock him, Tom writes with the dew of Bambi’s dingleberries, in the morning after new ears, and only for a short time, for he has a dentists apointment. I’m sure it would have made someone smile. I wanted to have a book published before i turned twenty one, but i failed that goal. to every one who sat on the edge of their seat… I’m sorry. Los ciento… or something like that. I don’t like vegetarians. Did i ever tell you that? Do vegetarians hate hate hate canibals? Did you know… animals eat other animals? Are we not animals, what’s so different about it?
Juuuuuuuust kidding.
Regardless your story, someway, somehow… you’re going to be a piece of shit. Your story, they’ll make it seem to be something to be pushed aside. Hell, they could write something better, that’s why they need clients to write for them, and the world spins.
So here’s a tip, make your first sentence say, “Pulling the dick from her behind, she spent the next eight, long, studying minutes deciding whether it was sanitary to put back into her mouth.”
And boom, suddenly, you’re not so amateur, and you’re not fucking around. You see what the media makes you do? Extremes.
For me, my newest project, I honestly feel, it’s my best work to date. I’m really excited about it. In all honesty(again) writing with a humorous outlook is simply amazing. I’ve come from a long line of stories just smeared with dread, depression, disgust. WELL…WELL…WELL… I’m tired of D-words ma fucka! It’s taken me along time to get this project on the roll, I’m seriously working on eight other novels, but I’m deciding not to take it to the limit, watch out, I’ll dance(because “taking it to the limit” is the hook of two or more songs, I think. One of my nephew’s fvorite songs) dare me… D-words My head hurts though. I’ve spent my entire day on one chapter 3000 and a few words, though I’ve been trying to put them together for three months, haha. Ughhh tired time needs sleep to cooperate with my dreams, who’ll rape me senseless when I decide to close my eyes.
At the same time, I’m writing a novel(a few/some i guess could be short stories) and i’m starting on a few short stories. I’ve been doing a few writing exercises, like: write when you don’t want to write. Well, that didn’t work, i can’t stand those chapters, i feel childish, a little. The only good outcome from them maybe one or two sentences(within pages of scrabble-babbel), and a topis. But i’m learning, and that’s for the best. I keep updating things, day to day plus day to day, typing, deleting, i found a publisher but dropped them because they have eight year old authors. At eight years old, i would have tried to convince you why i wanted a paint ball gun, that it was not dangerous, that i, not my mother knows best, blah —>

surprise surprise!
Although there are no rules about story ideas, I would offer you one caution: think small. One of the worst mistakes most beginning novelists make is thinking big, trying to come up with an end-of-the-world story, in the belief that big is better. That’s not true. Keep your story idea small and focused.
Look into your creative soul and search for a little story but one that has real meaning to you. We are all part of the human family. If you create a story that has deep meaning to you, chances are it will have deep meaning for the rest of us.
i think, just yesterday, for some odd reason, i started writing better. :) smiley face!!!
Day 6
Analyze and learn. Take your favorite novel of the type that you want to write and read it again, as if it were a how-to manual for becoming a millionaire. Then read it again, breaking the book down into sections. Outline the action on large sheets of paper that you pin to your office wall.
It doesn’t matter what kind of book you decide to write. There are no rules other than that the story has to be very, very interesting. It can be exciting, scary, fun, funny or sad — but it must not bore the reader.
“What kind of novel appeals to you? What really gets your juices flowing? Is it a good murder mystery, science fiction, a thriller, romance, general fiction?
Alice Munro is considered by many to be the best short-story writer in the English language. Her books sell about 30,000 copies a year. She is a writer other writers admire for her technical skills and the purity of her style. She is also known for the complex structure of her stories. A typical Alice Munro story might begin at a point that most writers would consider the end, then jump to a time ten years later, then back again. But what is most interesting about Alice Munro — who lives in a small town in southern Canada — is that her stories are about ordinary people: their secrets, their memories of acts of violence, their sexual longings.
Think of what to write from what is around you, from what you know and care about.”
In the first week, decide upon the story you are going to write. You might not work out every detail, but today you are going to begin the process. You are not going to procrastinate — procrastination is your enemy. Matisse advised his students, “If you want to be a painter, cut out your tongue.” The time has come to stop merely talking about writing your novel. Get started planning it now.
