There is a dozen red balls, lets throw them at Strop! A maelstrom of red fury targeting the ninja horse solely concentration on one goal, one thought, one novel. Fifty thousand words of swiftly write upon the glowing monitor. Eye lids feeling heavy and coffee as cold as the midnights air tastes bitter on the tongue. In the darkness a horse imagining a life of a bird and slowly becoming a zombie typist. While the poor fellows of Armor Games watches the ninja in jealousy and rage as they think " Why!? O WHY!? cannot I do that which has been done?" and sadness falls upon them for the task is not yet complete and the burden still weighs heavily upon their desperate souls.
I was bored so I thought since hey I can't organize my ideas about my novel Ill write what I think rofl
so basically you have the 2 ends of the bread but no peanut butter or jelly
Or rather, you're eating the insides of the sandwich and finishing the really dry bread after. It's not too bad, but brainlock will slow you down very much.

I actually used to dig out the fluffy stuff in french bread and then maaaybe eat the crust afterward... That really is a terrible order of doing things in, but I can't get anywhere with the bit I'd technically gotten to, and there's other bits that I can get somewhere with.
My writing skills are not at all tuned for writing long stories.

Neither I mine... then again, I'm not particularly good at writing short stories either. With practice, I'll figure it out, and so will you.[/quote]
That's what everyone says every year. :P Hopefully I actually push through the last 10k this year... Really bad teen fiction is as low as you can go (infodump sci-fi isn't nearly as bad but it is less digestible), but at least you'll make the word count.
If I could, I would, but Cup day passed and I glanced not even once at the races!
We got to watch it in class, and I was like...hmmm time to pick a random horse. So I picked Shocking...and hey I won. If only I had bet something!
...my god.
I concur.
I have this problem, because I used to have a problem with leaving all the over-written crap in. This novel I'm working on is supposed to be in part an exercise in editorial building through broader contexts, but that just resulted in a significant overuse of synechdoche.
You guys are way to complex...I just write...hey...I don't even have a set plot.
For example, today I decided to kill of all the animals in my characters favourite clearing in the forest...but I guess that was a way to pass onto the next bit of the story where the character has to learn about his and his parents past.
Mind you, I named my character 'Chero' after staring at a Fererro Rocher packet (I get one per 10k words)...
Darn you KR - - Okay, sorry. Darn me!! Let's see: Plot: Uhm, girl is seemingly seeing things she shouldn't. Reason: she is possibly going crazy. Genre: Hoping to keep it realistic, but currently failing really hard... *shakefish*
Oh, good idea Cen, let's share what we're writing!
Plot: Orlestat is used to living a hermit's life, avoiding all human contact. But the world catches up with him and he is dragged into a growing conflict that will eventually reveal a litany of injustices of centuries past. Will he stubbornly hold onto his old avoidant habits or will he embrace the opportunity to be part of a changing world?
In short, think the premise of The Bourne Trilogy, on the scale of One Piece (i.e. the world but not, say, entire galaxies like certain other science fictions and space operas) but mightily condensed into about, probably 150-200k words.
Genre: Science fiction, technically, though I'm really trying to minimise that part and focus more on more transcendental themes (as Gantic pointed out).
