Finally!

I started writing the 1st draft of my manuscript for my novel last february, more than 6 months ago, and ever since, I have been struggling with keeping up to the task. There were times where I go into a positive frenzy and so into writing that I was able to complete several chapters in the space of a few days or weeks; but there were also other times when a whole week passes and I haven't written anything significant, or I write a whole chapter and then decide that it's not what I want so I...

The Last Transformation

Ok...this is the last blog to be transformed. This blog was formerly known as Random Dialogues, and it was perhaps the least filled-up one and the least I added entries to, because it was oh so very hard to come up with meaningful random dialogues. Anyways, so I changed this blog to My Novel. I am currently publishing my first novel, and I am going through many experiences. From struggling to complete my manuscript to going through the whole publishing process. In this blog (which I plan to be... Sign in to see full entry.

Alan & The Shrink

This dialogue would be best appreciated if visualized rather than read. The shrink would best be visualized as someone like Billy Crystal in Analyze This/Analyze That, and the patient (Alan) would be best visualized as any given person - your average Joe - for some reason I'm seeing Ashton Kutcher, but you're free to visualize the dialogue and the characters as you like. Shrink: Tell me, Alan, what do you see? Alan: ummmm, I see a man... in his swimsuit Shrink: Go on... Alan: He's trying to go... Sign in to see full entry.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

A man was sitting at a diner, a pretty woman passed by his table on her way to the ladies room. He hit on her and on her way back from the restroom he invited her to sit at his table. She accepted and took the sit opposite him. The following conversation took place: Man: Waffles..?? Woman: No. You didn't invite me here to sit with you to have waffles no? Man (quietly taken aback by her inquisition): No - Woman: Then why did you? she pierced him a glaring look and leaned forward a bit. Man: Why... Sign in to see full entry.

The Moon and The Sun

Moon: I envy you.. Sun: Why? Moon: you light up the world and you give life to plants. Sun: But you light up the night and you direct people navigating through deserts and seas. And if I give life to plants, you move the waters of the vast oceans and seas. Moon: but you're bigger, and people appreciate you more; and perceive you as more powerful, for they have worshipped you at times! Sun: but people love you, moon; for they have been inspired by you to write, and they talk to you when they feel... Sign in to see full entry.
