Title: Writing a book Post by: Amir on Thursday, March 17, 2005, 01:15:17 Okay, so I'm writing a book something I'm doing in the summer, but I want some ideas on a second book. It'll probally involve Swindon in some way, and I'lll probably nick some of your user names :wink:
Basically I'm after any suggestions, however wierd and wonderful, about what should be included in this novel. I already know what I'm writing about in the summer but I haven't a clue what to do after :? Title: Writing a book Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, March 17, 2005, 01:21:28 you could base it on a series of random, interconnected events, often with hilarious outcomes, using the personas of forum members (if they don't mind).

Title: Writing a book Post by: yeo on Thursday, March 17, 2005, 08:09:02 How about a group of rabbits on a long and dangerous journey to a promised land,give it religous undertones and call the promised land Watership Down.

Title: Writing a book Post by: Amir on Thursday, March 17, 2005, 12:09:10 No need, I can get a Yeovil Red in there. It'll be like Shawshank Redemption, Icarus Turpentine will say, ' why do they call you Red?', and you'll say, ' I'm not too good in the sun'.
And Mexico Red because he's always on his period. And birdy dishing it out all over the place in as virginal a way as possible. Piemonte the chef. Jan from an far off wonderland known as Calne. It's all coming together :? Title: Writing a book Post by: STFCBird on Thursday, March 17, 2005, 12:13:49 You book could be called "behind the team" It could revolve around the forum massive. Yeovil Red could be sectioned due to his alcohol and gambling addictions and it is our mission to save him :D

hmmmm, what does a good hard house DJ need? some decks, e and tow-er of vinyl. bosh, you might aswell quit writing now, it'll be too good Title: Writing a book Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 17, 2005, 12:46:39 Calne should always be referred as "The City of Calne" in literature, it gives it a certain je ne sais quoi.
...and then there was Jan, the only scottish norweigian in the City of Calne and he knew it.

I like the Hardy thing of renaming actual places with something new, but appropriate.....like O*ford becoming Scumsville in Jude the Obscure. For this reason Calne should become Baconopolis. Title: Writing a book Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 17, 2005, 13:56:47 Baconopolis - City of Pigs. I like it Reg. Mayor Harris was running the town, back in the day.
Title: Writing a book Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, March 17, 2005, 14:13:41 I'd move to Calne if it was renamed Baconopolis.
