Your posts = a novel?

DWSTXS · Apr 9, 2008

Add up all your posts, and then decide upon an average word count per post. Then multiply.
Have you written a 'novel' worth of posts?

If so, you might want to think about that the next time sit down to write on your WIP and find yourself lurking and looking for a subject to post upon.

But hey, I'm not trying to crash your party and rain on your parade. Sometimes we have to take a break, you know?

I hope you enjoy my enclosed manuscript, Waiting for Haggis. It represents my nearly daily effort since joining--I mean since starting this novel--in November 2006. It has already been favorably reppe--I mean reviewed--numerous times by famous authors. But I don't know their real names.

Hopefully yours,
etc. etc.

I think "Ray's House of Love Party" is an excellent title, unlikely to be changed by Bantam.

With almost 30,000 posts, you do the Math.

You're going to need some serious editing.

And you need a new protagonist.

It's not the number of my posts that disturbs me - it's the content. When I think of the amount of people I've shot at, vomited on, insulted, and tortured on this here board - I'm a little horrified at the genre my post/novel would be.

Sounds like a perfect thirty minute segment for VH1...

He's shaped funny, and he oozes acid.

Would our posts equal a novel? Most likely. I know of a company in Maryland we could send 'em to. Yeahhh, that's the ticket....

Either a sitcom or a soap opera.

Smile, you're on Candid AW...

My smilies take up so much space I think I have an illustrated novel.

Well, get off the Haggis fan club and get with a real man. I mean, really.
