And on the first day, Dan created nothing
So today was my first proper chance at brainstorming ideas for my book. Enlisting the help of Popeski, we discussed a few ideas from the bizarre to the workable.
My idea of a writing a book about how hard it is to write a book was largely mocked, though it would have a decent chance at spawning it’s own sequel. It was pointed out however that I would have to think about what book I’d end up writing after all the thinking, should the first book have a productive ending. Confused yet?
The IT professional leading a double life had potential, though I’m not fond of writing fiction. Not that I can’t, I just prefer to write stuff fluidly off the top of my head, planning isn’t something I enjoy when writing. But still, we explored the possibilities of the conflict arising from this double life, and it was largely workable.
The final idea of the evening was converting one of Shakespeare’s plays into lolspeak. For some reason I chose Hamlet, thinking that would actually be easier than any of the others. Looking at Hamlet again I think I may have made a fairly bad choice. Currently this idea is winning, but it hasn’t exactly got much to compete against it.
Still, it’s a start, and we all have to start somewhere. At least the title of the blog is actually relevant now.
