What about my eBook offer?

If I do write a full-blown, complete draft of Redesigning Eva, it's still going to need a lot of editing to make it work. Characters need to be developed better, the plot needs to be tighter, etc.

I agree with some of what's being said, but I don't have to, y'know, be a ruthless asshole about it. The Alec Baldwin speech in Glengarry Glen Ross was intended to highlight practically everything wrong with unfettered businessmen and the excesses of capitalism in general.

Why are you arguing about a movie right now? your ignoring the very good point that nothing is handed to you and that you have to get it yourself.

Stop trying to find ways that you don't have to do anything. Just...do something. Go volunteer.

excuses

All this time you're spending here arguing with us is time wasted pretty much.

 

[Shiala]

More excuses for you to just sit on your ass and do nothing.

Do something

 

[Arkangel]

Let me tell you something my family told me, Connor...

"[Ziltoid], no one wants anything in life more than you do."

Meaning if you want anything good to come out of your life, you have to want it more than anyone else, and work for it.

 

[Stalin]

Oh, I would, but I doubt it'll give me any happiness.

Seek psychiatric help.

Connor, if your first draft is "done" then you should be able to have your final draft in a few months. On the other hand developing your characters is something that you should have a pretty tight fucking hold on by the time you finish your first draft, so I don't know what to think about that.

Your writing needs to improve, true, but you can do that across various works. Right now you're burdened with a very uninteresting book idea thats consumed years of your time for no results. Either finish it up and be done with it, or drop it so you can move onto something else.

Fair enough. You'd have two-and-a-half months for all that, though. I've been published (nonfiction), so I know it can be done. Just get the thing written and then worry about the trimming.

No they fucking don't. No it fucking doesn't.

Ever heard of the term 'anything is better than nothing'? You are paralysing yourself with your perfectionism. Stop ideally thinking about what you could accomplish and actually accomplish something instead. You'll feel far better, even if it is sub-par.

very uninteresting

Uninteresting? Not enough action scenes?

Connor how long have you been writing?

What the hell are you babbling about?

 

[Connor Bible]

Connor how long have you been writing?

RE's been giving me hell since high school. At least, I produced a shitty draft.

 

[lolwut]

Goddamn it stop sperging and do a sit-up.

Better yet, do push-ups. Do all the push-ups. Do push-ups 'til I get tired.

Let me sing for you the song of my people...Ahem:
"FRONT LEANING REST POSTITION, MOVE. IN CADENCE...EXERCISE! 1 2 3...1 2 3...1 2 3...1 2 3..."

I don't know if it's the stress of getting dogpiled or you being intentionally obtuse but dude you're seriously not this dumb. Cut it the fuck out and stop playing the fool to ask questions to try and divert yourself from actually understanding what was said to you.

Connor you should be doing more editing than actual writing.

The process of writing should ideally be done relatively quickly. You should be able to bang out a lot of pages pretty quickly since you aren't employed. Editing however is where you take a lot of that and condense it down into something that's readable. That should be what you spend the majority of your time doing.

 

[Cubanodun]

instead of a full book why not try the japanese way aka light novels?

 

[Locksnap]

Uninteresting? Not enough action scenes?

If you're looking for a real answer, its trite, pointlessly wordy and full of bizarre, unnatural dialogue. A thriller is usually thrilling.
