Okay guys, change of plans. As I began the final draft of Eternal Flame (as I said in the previous post I was going to eventually finish my final draft and eventually get it published), I realized that I wasn't going to be able to finish it in a timely manner to blog about it. Why? Okay, Eternal Flame (about five years ago in its humble days) was the first story that I actually wrote...for me and one that I didn't just stop after three pages and called it a day.
See, I take Eternal Flame very, very seriously...it's like my baby (only you novel writers out there would know what I'm saying) and I want to nourish and care for it until it graduates from being just another word document to, well, a finished novel of bassery (like that? just made it up) proportions. And that just might take 2-3 years! Honestly, guys, would you stick around that long? I'll answer that for you--Nope. So I've come up with something ingenious! (Hint, hint, sarcasm.) Why not just start another novel and put Eternal Flame aside for a bit!
So this is where you guys come in, I was confused about which idea to roll with, and then I thought, "Who better to ask than the readers?" All you have to do is vote in the sidebar for your favorite or comment below before August 1 (What, why so long? I'm pretty lazy, that's what.) and who knows if I get enough traffic and votes by then I may even start sooner!
But don't worry I'll have plenty of funny things, and really cool writings tips to share on the way. So don't forget to follow my blog by email in the sidebar, or else you'd be missing out!
Okay which one would you rather have me write a full length novel about?
1) Just A Simple Story About Killing People- No I'm not crazy or sick or both, it's just a quirky story about a murder.
2) EGO- What happens when you're ego starts talking to you, then tormenting you. A continuation of my poem on Figment.
A story about talking egos and one about murders--I know right. I'm really into CSI, horror movies, and paranormal stuff and it shows in my writing.
So just use the little poll thingy ma-jigger in the sidebar or comment below, I'm keeping track!
Hey! It's Kiersten, I vote number one! It's always good to challenge yourself to do something different!
ReplyDeleteHi, its Jason Mars, from Figment. I think both could turn out great, but i vote for #2 because I'd love to see how you turn your poem, Ego, into a story/novel.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out http://thewritersnotebook.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteI think you should pick #2, but I also like #1.
I'm voting #2, since I've kind of started one like #1 (i've written about 60+ pages and could do with some refreshment!) By the way, I'm L.A. Elliott from Figment and I am TOTALLY following your blog
ReplyDelete^ also, I COMPLETELY GET what you're saying about "Eternal Flame" being your "baby"!! My baby, The Two Moons of Amara, never saw daylight, sadly. It always has that special spot in my heart, though, and someday I'm going to go back to it! So my story Rejected is like my second child. I was a "terrible parent" with the first, so I'm trying not to mess up with the second (I love writing analogies!!).
