so sleeping on a pillow of jagged concrete..
So ok , I joined
What I have is a bunch of disjointed dreams, that I can never remember comepletely, that would make one hell of a novel. Strike that, my everyday thoughts would as well.
It just seems I cannot put them down fully in writing. It just seems that i think it and just disgard it, never commiting anything.
Granted I did love Fight Club, I just thought Survivor was so much better, so much more whole as a concept.
All my writing so far has involved some wierd post apocalyptic urban setting, with the lower classes having to deal with it, the upper ruling the 'burbs. The lower classes having to deal with instant death and full body searches just to serve the 'burbs. Snipers line the wall between the have and have nots, ready to pick them off at any time. All in the name of finanicial purity.
Hi, my name is Jason!
Ps my half-baked entry involves a have with a weird link to the have nots, thus with some symphathy between the two.
Psh, he wants a Wrap and a cup of soup.
Welcome.

No sandwich please, I just ate. Hell, i'm lucky if I get a bowl of ramen.
I was just introducing myself. I like this site and i'ts purpose. There is 215 pages worth of disjointed wirting I have done with no clue on how to put it together. That is why I joined, so it could be put together. College english is no help, I just seem to pass with an A but without the feeling of knowing what I need to know. Give me a subject, bam it's done. Leave me on my own and my writing needs Ritalin.

PS yes Survivor is my favorite! In contrast, I pretty much hated Diary but to each his own.
Oooh, I had the same feelings about Diary. I never read Survivor though. Perhaps I'm missing out.
In my opinion, Diary just lacked the overall charisma of his other novels. In almost every Chuck novel I have read I stopped myself reading because the concepts he presents are so intense. They challenge you to think, to be critical. But with Diary I felt the whole novel was building up to this one point that never came. Like a forest fire it starts off burning violently but it just sizzles out short of complete devastation.

I agree, Diary was laking in it's "oh damn!" section. Diary just seemed so flat, I was used to to peaks and valleys of Chucks earlier works. The novel just seemed to go where it was expected. Misty just folowed the program and made her destiny, I WANTED her to mess it up. Heck, I gave Haunted to my dad and he liked the twist, which I thought Diary was lacking.
So anways, any tips on writing?

Tough crowd! OK I drink too much as it is! Most of my best work is when I stop drinking and the dreams flood in vididly. I'm talking about the dreams where you could swear in court that you were there.
Being born and raised in Detroit, a lot of my material is very urban. I tresspass abandoned buildings at least twice weekly. Most of all I try to get lost in the urban decay, it gives me more ideas than anything else.
