tell me tell me tell me!
I once started writing one, it was rubbish so i stopped after less than a chapter. But a couple of people have occassionally told they think I'd write a good'un, so maybe it's something i should try doing again.
The problem is that i am very unimaginative and completely devoid of ideas. So my plan is to read all the BRILLIANT replies to this thread (don't let me down) and steal your ideas for a book.
thanks in advance
boyz lol
do what?!
shut up
well that certainly told me!
I've been 'writing' a sitcom
for quite some time.
It's about some men in a treehouse.
stay with me
stay with me
I am writing one too
So many ideas. So much worked out. Details fine tuned to a tee!
No script yet.
buy me dinner first
I've done that too
Sinderella,
2 guys who reluctantly work in an adult book shop. I must go back and try that again
it may frighten both of us to know that...
...this is the title of a Jim Davidson adult panto-show he did. Frightening for you cause you have a similar creative midset to Jim, frightening for me for knowing and being able to recall such information.
What??
Is it just the name thats the same or the idea???
*hangs head in shame*
Book, no
film script, yes.
It was awful
i've attempted nanowrimo
a few times to varying success. i have loads of ideas, i'm just awful at translating them into words.
anyway, i usually tend to gravitate towards dystopian SF stuff. i'm sure this will surprise nobody who knows me. the last one was about england going to shit when climate change 'causes the gulf stream to stop and and a general freeze over the polar regions, and london is flooded with people fleeing it.
i've just realised
that makes me sound like i was writing a handbook for the BNP about why immigrants suck.
um, i wasn't. i was using it as a catalyst to spur on big changes within english society.
me and my best friend are going to wrote a book called:
'What not to do if your name is Cheryl or Sophia'
It basically ends with us having to be locked in a ventilated padded room, fed pureed food, tested before being given to us and various other saftey pre-cautions I can't remember.
We have the worst luck EVER.
A bloke called IndieAndy_Jones
Who hates hugging people, and when he does he vomits on their backs. Then he meets the woman of his dreams but can't stop vomiting.
Later, a dragon turns up and teaches him how to be a ninja.
Only then can he overcome his fear of human contact and marry the woman of his dreams.
if she's really the woman my dreams
she'll learn to love the vomit.
at school i wrote
a couple of sitcoms. one for coursework and one for fun.
the one for fun was full of fat women and scotsmen hiding jazz mags in slimfast tubs.
i was proud of it and it made me lol when i read it a couple of years back.
the references are very dated. it was when celtic were god awful (ie 2nd in the spl).
Good question
I could probably do an in-depth biography of The Veils.
...a little too creepy?
My new self-help book is out soon, it's called:
Get confident, stupid
is it semi-autobiographical
wow that's a big word!
yes i saw that Simpsons episode as well
:-D
My book would be about robot-ninjas. Sorry, I meant cyborg-gorilla-ninjas.
Everything's about robots and fighting with you, isn't it.
generally, yes.
i havent written a book
but if i was to...
it would be about..umm.. terrorists or something. trying to steal the crown jewels. or blow up the houses of parliament.
original, eh?
i think there's a gap
in the market for a scottish tom clancy.
Brookmyre
??
yes, this is what i would like to do
best thing is to just start writing, don't dismiss ideas until you've written them down and then something will crawl out of your brain and make a good idea and don't dismiss anything as too stupid til you've written it.
i tend to write a bit every day. eventually you build up ideas, small ones and big ones, and it all unfolds like that.
this is very rambling rubbish advice but anyway, there you go.
oh and
write a novel about someone who can't resist the temptation to poke people off bikes
i used to write ideas down
but eventually i threw them all away because they were shit, cliched and, well, a bit emo.
oh, and everything i think of
has already been written bby Douglas Adams, bastard!
Srsly
I'd write about Jack The Ripper inventing a time machine. Think of the hilarious consequences!
I have some very detailed ideas for a novel
it involves the Noah's ark myth, regeneration in Birmingham, temporal changes, talking rats and sinister businessmen. I just need to get around to actually writing it...
go on then!
before i do it first!
mwahahahahahaaaaa

once when we were
bored at Uni, my friend Carl and I wrote an amusing plot for a Harry Potter parody of what all the characters would be like when they grew up. It actually worked out quite well. We tried to write a sequel, but due to the spur of the moment genius of the first, the second never took off.
I write a lot of short stories that nearly always involve certain characters being torn to pieces by aliens/monsters/robotic alien monsters.
were you stoned when you wrote the Potter parody?
my friend was.
