			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So today was my first proper chance at brainstorming ideas for my book. Enlisting the help of <a href="http://words.dsp79.com" target="_blank">Popeski</a>, we discussed a few ideas from the bizarre to the workable.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s own sequel. It was pointed out however that I would have to think about what book I&#8217;d end up writing after all the thinking, should the first book have a productive ending. Confused yet?</p>
<p>The IT professional leading a double life had potential, though I&#8217;m not fond of writing fiction. Not that I can&#8217;t, I just prefer to write stuff fluidly off the top of my head, planning isn&#8217;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.</p>
<p>The final idea of the evening was converting one of Shakespeare&#8217;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&#8217;t exactly got much to compete against it.</p>
<p>Still, it&#8217;s a start, and we all have to start somewhere. At least the title of the blog is actually relevant now.</p>
