Apart from the stories of the games you produce, if any. Who here actually writes in more traditional mediums; poetry, short stories, novels, etc? I know several people have done webcomics but apart from that I don't know?

You see, I am very big on writing. Though I'm only 16, I've written four novels and countless short stories, and I'm dead set on being a professional novellist when I'm older.

So...?

LATER: Now we're discussing a writing compo. Grin

I do. Though I write like crap. I write short stories and such often enough, but hardly ever show them around. I also have several ideas for novels, but who doesn't?

I don't.  I do occasionally go through phases of writing short stories, but haven't done anything in about six months I'd say.  (I haven't really done any writing in about six months).

I'm going to end this terrible chain before it spirals out of control. (read: lolwut cow?)

I've been trying to write lyrics for a whole album for years now.

THEY MUST BE PERFECT.

You'll never do it.

Pshh, I can write perfect lyrics in 4 minutes, Lazer!


Featuring love, satire, a politically charged message, and much more.
Check it out:

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the middle
Where I stop
and I go for a bride
Till I get outta the bed and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
and you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Inane, you're doing it wrong. You forgot to put the lyrics backwards and hum them underwater. Also, koo koo kachoo.

But if you hear Inane's lyrics backwards, you'll find hidden diabolical messages!

Writing is boring.


Unless you're writing code, that's fun.

I once wrote a 1500 word short story about a gigantic city of rats. It sucked so hard. My writing skills have improved since then, though. I think.

EDIT: Song Lyrics!

//EDIT 2: That was meant to be sloppy, it fits the mood in my opinion. Also, that //song is about me and my bipolar disorder. Sad

EDIT 3: Lyrics taken out because they sucked.

I am currently writing 2 novels, and 2 are waiting to be started.
One is a steampunk-ish fantasy novel, and the other is post-apocalyptic novel with lots of violence  Wink.

Writing is a hobby of wise men, and I salute all who write.  Gentleman

Does starting a bunch and then stopping before they're done, never to look back count?

Also, I was wondering about starting a writing competition here, see if it'd work.
