My Book, Thus Far

[Obdurate]

This is really scary to do. Go easy on me and try to have an open mind, lol

So, I feel like there are some things I should explain before you waste your time downloading this file.

This book is an "experimental" novel. It uses extensive footnotes AND endnotes and as it goes on, I will mess with the format and other stuff more and more. It is also really surreal/symbolic. I am aware that what I'm showing probably doesn't "make sense," but it's still early in the book.

I haven't really checked over the last few pages for spelling errors or grammatical errors or anything.
I hope that the layout didn't get fucked up or something. If it did, I'm sorry.


So, constructive criticism welcome! No insults, that just hurts my feelings!

Just dl'd it. I'm a little too inebriated to read it critically right now, but I'll give it a scan over the next few days and get back to ya!

Thanks for sharing, O.

I was thinking about writing a book, sort of a parody of Catch-22. But a parody of a parody may just split the space-time continuum. :dunno

 

[Doveshit]

The ultimate goal of art. NO reference point.:nod

Every time I hear about Catch-22, I'm reminded of Yossarian's conversation with the chaplain.


"How is Lt. Dunbar?"

"as good as they go...A true prince. One of the finest,least dedicated men the whole world"

I like writing satire, myself. Because it isn't expected to be funny or serious. I can go between both.

And I'm looking forward to what you have to say about my book, Dove.

I would love to check out your book.. however this stupid work computer for some reason will not let me download.. however if you could email it to me, i would definitely check it out and give ya feedback!

Excellent. Overall, I would give your story an 8.5 out of 10. Your vocabulary is really good but you need to work on your grammar a bit more. Your story is mysterious but kind of confusing. Nothing a good review can't fix. Good luck on it.

 

[Obdurate]

Thanks Tempermental.

Can you gimme some examples of the bad grammar? I ask because some of it may be intentional. Some may not! And because I'd like to know what to fix if it needs to be

And as for the review, oh, I'm sure nobody wants to hear the long drawn out explanation, lol

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

I'll give it read later when I have more time to soak it in Obdurate.

 

[Obdurate]

Who's this Obdurate fella you speak of? Don't you mean Obstinate?


And thanks.

LOL. I stand corrected.

[Obdurate]

Yeah! There ya go.

You're choosing the damn school over ME? The nerve!
