Let's put it this way... when I was writing the first draft, I had no idea what I was doing.

That implies that you know what you're doing now.

Ah, I see that you have heard of the tragedy in Charleston. I'm glad they caught the little shit. They just brought him back to South Carolina.

I've spent some time in that area and it was surreal seeing places I've been to showing up on the news.

Say, anyone remember Redesigning Eva? I hope to work on a new, significantly improved, full-blown draft of it during the dark winter months. I've been thinking about the plot, filling in the holes. One thing that always bothered me was why Eva would want to volunteer for Catharsis in the first place, other than "to find happiness". Well, I think I've found the answer.

I don't want to speak for any other Kiwis, but if you wanted help patching plot holes or fixing grammar, you've got a large amount of talent available to you here. I believe in you dude!

Just signed up for Wattpad.

Connor, can we see the latest page you wrote for your story?

 

[sugoi-chan]

@Connor, can I have that one-page action novel sample you said you'd write a last week?

 

[NobleGreyHorse]

@Connor, seriously, get yourself a copy of John Gardner's On Writing Fiction and read it yesterday, if not sooner. I know the subtitle says "for young writers," but any writer can learn from this. It will help, trust.

Another good one, which is actually quite funny, is Jerome Stern's Making Shapely Fiction. It highlights common mistakes people make in both short stories and longer fiction works.

The first one is serious, the second one more sarcastic, but both are very, very good. Gardner taught fiction writing most of his life, and is the author of a novel that redoes Beowulf from the monster's POV, among many other short stories and novels. Serious bidness, @Connor. I really endorse these books.

I also recommend, The Elements of Style.
http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Styl...4673783&sr=8-3&keywords=the+elements+of+style

This book helped improve my writing a lot giving advice on how to make your writing more pleasing to the reader.

One thing at a time, bro.

That could slow you down immensely though. If NASA did one thing at a time, the USSR would've made it to the moon first.

Also, if you have a large writing task, why not break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks? For example, if you were to write just one page a day, you could write a novel in less than a year. And that's taking it really slow and not having the inspiration to write an entire chapter in one night, for example.

 

[Overcast]

Hi @Connor, nice to see you back.

Hope you follow through on your writing plans. Saying that you're going to do something and actually doing it are two different things.

 

[Dalish]

connor are you going to try talking to a girl this year or are you gonna just wait til next year like a bitch

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

Praise.

I second this notion. Grendel (the novel in question) is a Goddamn tour de force. It's evocative, insightful, very thought-provoking & all-in-all a wonderful read.

@Connor After that course, which one are you planning to do next in the Fall?

 

[Dudeofteenage]

Say, anyone remember Redesigning Eva? I hope to work on a new, significantly improved, full-blown draft of it during the dark winter months.

Nobody cares what you hope to do, plan to do, aspire to do, are going to do, or any of the other future tenses. The world is full of people who hope to write novels, very few of them actually write one.

 

[The Dude]

Hey Connor! Saw a photo of you on facebook recently.

Nice to see you lost some weight

That's not Connor. That guy was actually successful at what he set out to accomplish. Connor is failure incarnate.

 

[OV 370]

That might be giving him too much credit. Connor is more like indolence incarnate. Failing means you tried.

I stand humbly corrected.

>Does anyone remember redesigning Eva.

I'd be impressed if anyone forgot it. How could anyone forget such a wonderful story containing characters such as Abe the gorilla and Gendo Lecter?

He reminds me of Dr venture, tries to be a master of many crafts and fails at every single one.
