Writing a Book is Hard


Takuma Nuva

I've just spent so much time trying to piece together this plot and it is driving me crazy. It's like some sort of crazy three-dimensional puzzle where I have to reconstruct half the pieces along the way.

 

But I'm determined. I'll get this thing down if it takes my whole life.

I'm sure there are people who would disagree and say that it is easy, but I am not one of them. Good for you for starting, though, and I wish you the best of luck!

:kaukau: I know the feeling. If you're that determined, you'll get it done. Just don't tragically die of a car accident along the way.

 

Also, I'm just curious to know how long your book will be and what it's about. I have an idea for a series that, honestly, will probably be eight million words long, knowing my writing style and the scope of the narrative, so it probably will take me most of my life to write.

For you, I think eight million is a better descriptor of pages than of words =P

 

On a more serious note, dang, Tak. That's a big undertaking you're venturing on. If I can ever help ya, gimme a shout. I'm bakin ya 100%, bud.

Oh you'll get so stuck along the way you'll want to burn the thing. But definitely keep some updates, I look forward to whatever you're producing and wish you luck along the way!

For a long time now I've intended to start jotting down entries detailing my thoughts and experiences as I take on this project. I'm finally to the point where I think I'll start doing those within the next day or so.

 

Though I don't intend to reveal too much -- what's the point in writing the book if you already know everything -- I will definitely be talking about some of the themes and how they were inspired.
