Guest PikaPerson01 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Epic Win book of Epic Win: -Tim kills mommy and daddy in thier sleep with a meat cleaver.-Timmy runs like hell.-Timmy arrives is Mexico/Canada-The EndOh wow' date=' a 2 paged book. Not going to happen.[/quote'] A two page book? Only if you have the writing skills of a chimp. <_< Obviously, you'd need to introduce the family, his friends, what a typical day was like. Then, you'd have to present how the idea first entered Timmy's mind. Why is killing his parents in their sleep with a meat cleaver the only way to go about things? Perhaps they planned to murder him? Perhaps he is psychotic? Perhaps there's a history of abuse in the family? Perhaps he found out a horrifying unforgivable secret about them and in a fit of rage murders them? Plenty of ways to go about it just from one little sentence. Next for his grand escape, obvious how he feels about the whole situation. Is he remorseful? Is he tired? Ultimately, this section of the book would provide his struggle, as he deals with the consequence's of murdering his family. Fleeing from the police and the life that was introduced in the first part of the book. Lastly, after some soul searching and probably learning the error of his ways he'd probably arrive in Canada/Mexico, avoid the feds, and begin his new life. The book would end on an upbeat, or melancholy note. Though Timmy destroyed everything he once held dear, he's now free to start anew... And if you honestly have problems stretching out ideas, I can tell your book thing is gonna fall flat. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikachu Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Epic Win book of Epic Win: -Tim kills mommy and daddy in thier sleep with a meat cleaver.-Timmy runs like hell.-Timmy arrives is Mexico/Canada-The EndI support this idea NOT for teh lulz. You could talk about the first 2 points for 2-5 pages, then talk about the journey to Mexico. Great encounters, wolves, mexicans, taco bells, Tom Cruise etc. That MUST be at least 80 pages It's good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Not always. Suppose one of the characters in the story learned English as a 2nd language and is just starting to learn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzi Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Not always. Suppose one of the characters in the story learned English as a 2nd language and is just starting to learn it. Then you'd have to translate the person's feelings in English. Not all of the book will be sections where the main character is talking or writing.
