NOOOOOOO!!!
"My empire of shit is collapsing in on me!!! Someone get the Febreze!"
Those are actual sentences from my 'novel'. It's degenerated into a mess of random words and curses. I can't think right now. I'm stuffed full of turkey and other assorted Thanksgiving foods. I've got two flans waiting for me downstairs and still I torture myself with this hideous novel. I'm looking through the Nano-Forums for dares. I'm turning the whole thing into farce. But first this, from a thread there:
On a scale of one through ten, rate the following things of your novel.
1 means barely at all, 10 means a LOT. Also, if you want to, list the strongest example of the following.
-How sexual is your novel? (includes even basic things like romantic kissing and caressing, and sexual innuendo)
I give it a 1. I was considering some necrophilia but that's because I read my personal Savior C.P.'s "Lullaby" recently. There are some couples in here but they're not the main focus of the novel. I have one guy who hits on anything in a skirt. There's a tiny amount of kissing, nothing more.
-How violent is your novel?
Overall it's not that violent yet. But the last couple of chapters should garner about an 8.
-How much swearing is in your novel?
Maybe a 5? Phil is the curser, he's like a bouncer. I can't bother to look up an example. Right now the author is doing all the cursing.
-How much substance use? (drinking/smoking/drugs)
5 or 6. Not much. The teenagers do a lot of drinking (duh), I've got one character who smokes a lot and there is some mention of drug-use.
Okay, off to take dares.

I considered answering those questions on my blog, but I really don't have too much of that stuff in my novel to make my answers very interesting. But that said, I would not recommend my work to kiddies--because there is drinking and drug use and cursing and even a bit of bondage.
Hee!!! I just know I'm going to be cracking up when i read your novel :D
i like your surveys.
i wanted to have thanksgiving food induced nightmares, but alas, i slept like a baby. i need those nightmares for ideas!!!
