NaNoWriMo 2009?

[Triple Zero]

You forgot 'SPLOSIONS.

They are a natural consequence of the Action Movie Trinity.

Tits + Guns + Helicopters -> SPLOSIONS

It's simple first-order predicate logic, really.

[LMNO]

So not having done this wonderful thing before, I'm loving the totally insane shit appearing on the computer screen before me.  An excerpt:

Kurt removed himself from the breakfast table, a busy piece of furniture which moonlighted as a dinner table, in between renting its services as a key holder, coat hanger, or grocery bag handler.  If Kurt knew it dabbled in the dark art of lunch he ignored it, lest his anger drive him to smash the efficient thing limb from dovetailed limb.  He went upstairs to his room to retrieve essential working supplies, returning to settle himself upon his favorite office desk, a deep cherry surface with a glossy finish that's been known to, in its mercenary spirit, accept a job or two as a breakfast table.
A gloriously long sleep having cut so far into the day followed by an elaborate breakfast and what he considered pointed political analysis put the start of his work at about 2 o'clock.  Lamenting shortly afterwards a lack of available camera crew to document his horror upon realizing that, yes, he'd done nothing until 2 o'clock, as in 2 in the afternoon, as in post meridian, he set himself to type furiously and research with a vengeance unseen in academia, a resolute goal to have an admissions representative at each graduate program acknowledge that the document they perused had been written with nothing short of pure fury.  Precisely thirteen words into his first project of the day, he remembered Todd's phone call.
"Shit," he declared to the amazingly multi purposed table of which he'd so recently grown fond.

And that is really what it's all about.

Also, if you spell out numbers and eliminate contractions and hyphens you get more words.

Last year, I knew I was in trouble when I listed everything Doug had in his kitchen.

TIT-SPLOSIONS?

[Cain]

Cain, I want to read that.

Once it is over 10,000 words, I am going to start posting it here.  Its basically the conspiracy kitchen sink, plus mad science, plus lots of guns, flamethrowers, grenades and occasional orbital strike.

Just for the sake of tradition could you work the three elements of the Action Movie into it: Tits, Guns and Helicopters?

[or don't, I'm sure it'll be good either way]

We already have guns, and tits will no doubt appear soon, as female HIMEOBS agents are introduced.  Helicopters...yeah, probably by the time Baghdad becomes part of the plt.

[Triple Zero]

Perfect. In that case it is destined for ULTIMATE WIN!

Since I'm writing this regularly from three different locations I'm using Google Docs for the whole thing.  Its Word Count automatically calculates the sentences per paragraph, words per sentence, characters per word, Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, and Automated Readability index.

It's presenting an interesting game of how much I can fuck up those averages in a single day of writing.  Early on, it's been quite easy.  Later, I'll likely have the work judged as easily understandable to a 13 year old student.

Much belated edit:  I've been messing around on the website and I added a few writing buddies.  I'm EaterOfClowns on there if anyone's looking.

[Cain]

Someone should rewrite Doom: Repercussions of Evil, as an epic, 50,000 word space horror novel.

[Suu]

For Script Frenzy I'm thinking of re-writing Top Gun for Star Wars as a fan film.

No. Really.

[Cain]

That could work.  Maybe.

Also, I fear I have made a terrible error.  I have started to introduce facts into HIMEOBS: the novel.  Well, plausible theories at least.  I spent last night skimming Alien Species and Evolution (alien in the sense of foreign, not from another world), Impossibility: The Science of Limits and The Big Bang Never Happened: Serious Alternative Science.  Ideas are...fermenting.

[Suu]

You should collaborate with Richter on his script for HIMEOBS: The TV Show.

[Cain]

They'd have to invent two whole new watersheds for that.  One simply for HIMEOBS, and one for what Richter's twisted imagination will come up with.

[Suu]

In all seriousness, the storyboard he has for episode 2 is pure genius. It revolves solely around Captain Da being suck on the toilet with no paper.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

Are you at least salting it with RI fodder? Project Monarch is on the plausible side in that respect, since Artichoke, Bluebird and MK-ULTRA all attempted to do such things.

[Cain]

I'm going to get into it a little more with that sort of thing, later on.  I have pretty much the entire RI blog saved on my HD though, so reference isn't exactly a problem 

I also spent last night reading David Icke, and now my head hurts 

[Dysnomia]

Have been procrastinating, and need to get my writer's hat on as I'm only at liek 1500 words.    Most def. will not finish, but I'm going to try to see how much I can force myself to bang out by the end of the month.

[Cain]

I'm at 8300, but I'm going to be writing closer to 3000 per day over the next few days.
