New novel concept
Alright. So I'm always coming up with new projects, I know, and you're all prolly sick to death of reading about them. This isn't a post proclaiming I have a new project nor is it about me pledging my undying loyalty to anyone project.
JD Salinger passed away today. I've not read Catcher in the Rye, though many of my good friends have and they are constantly recommending that I do. From what I know of it, I would probably like it, outside of the decadent material and teenagerist rebellionism, it's dialogue heavy with a metaphoric/symbolic line throughout.
And I keep coming up with these grand loft stories that take place in fantasy worlds or in real worlds but with some supernatural type element. I want to write a story in which that doesn't happen. A plain teenage story. Seeing as I'm a teenager (or I just was one ...) I consider myself qualified.
Try as I might, I was unable to come up with any stories today. Yes, I know these things take time, but I did stumble across an idea in my attempted story genesis. I get several of my friends, people I trust and respect to independently write a short few lines of dialogue. Just the words, not overly name specific nor place ... Just concepts or ideas. Once I have a handful of them, I begin to try to weave a narrative between them.
I think that'd be pretty kickass :D In fact, if I knew of anyone else who wanted to novel, I'd swear I'd give them the very same lines of dialogue and then we'd see just how different the stories really are :D
The question is, of course, who can I ask to write my lines of dialogue? Any volunteers from you lot? :D
