Auden, Pound, Cummings, Stein.

It never actually occurred to me to use a writing program before. I found this though and I rather like it...

That's true.

Bet with someone over the internet is off I guess.

Real-life bet still on, though! Hooray!

I actually rather like this- thanks for sharing.

How much are we talking?

Also, the week does't count edits. It's essentially that a first draft be ready in a week.

I just did a test and I managed to churn out 1000 usable words in 20 minutes, but they needed a little editing. If I'm working to that timescale, it's quite possible, I should think.

Want to bet on it?

It's more than 40,000 in the UK, by the way.

I had a bet that I could write a novel in a week.

It has to be publishable. That is the only stipulation. The only real way to prove this is actually get it published.

Any advice? Any questions? Anything?

Oh, and in answer to your question, a friend of mine really digs Castaways- he's admitted that it's just because he read it when he was a kid though.

Mossflower is still one of my favourite books.

...man, I loved that series. I might get the cookbook.

"Defence of Poetry" especially. Eliot as well. Read about "Ad Herenium" too.

>>1127604

Very much so.

I know you have to write one, I thought that particular poem might be of some use to you as inspiration.

Look at this page, it might help.

I suppose Gertrude Stein is a good place to start: try 'Sacred Emily'.

According to The Rev. Dr. Ivan Moody, the Bible contains passages that should be treated as folklore/myth, political message/propoganda, moral instruction, and sometimes historical document (see something like the book of Numbers).

The difficulty of the theologian is deciding where the dividing lines are drawn.

I think it's pretty easy when you look at it, though- the majority of the old testament is either fable, historical/folklore, and little of it is morally prescriptive, for instance.

Anyway, hope that helps a bit.

Looks like in after.

I think I'll get this. I can only hope that people use it with prudence so that I'm not blocked out by everyone for the crimes of others.

David Lynch sure has gone downhill since Twin Peaks...
