Re: Summer of [censored]
I love this title, every time I read it I instinctively read, "summer of sh*t."

July 1
I have been tossing around another possible writing idea and I thought I would get some opinions of it. The "hero" would be by a day a professional poker player who travels the world chasing the latest tournament of big game. This is just a cove r though as his real profession is a hitman, either working for the US government of assassain for hire I haven't decided yet. The crux of the story would be his struggles to juggle his "normal life" and that of telling his tales of being a trained killer.
Thoughts. Here is a link to the beginning of what I'm working on now. untitled My daughter is staying with me for the next week, which occupies alot of time. Consequently I will be looking to only do 750 hands most days for while she is here. After that I want to put in some serious time to get to the 25K hands by mid July. |

You're a cool cat and I wish you the best. This idea sounds horrible. Tilt meets True Lies? I think you would be able to write something better if you tried to be more original and stayed away from poker. You're too close to it. I hope you prove me wrong. |

Unless you're talking about the linked one, which is going to be what I write about. If so then yes I hope I prove you wrong. |

[/ QUOTE ] Well, anything's better than another huge Tolkien-derivative EFC novel. Maybe yours is better than that, but the snippet you provided isn't promising. If you're going to be serious about this, spend at least a month reading fantasy that isn't Tolkien-derivative, and spend a lot of time refining your premise to something really stellar before you start actually writing. Don't latch on to the first novel idea you get. (Sorry if I come off as overly bitchy, but this is my field.) |
