Anyone ever try to write a novel?

<p>what he said ^</p>

<p>Sure. </p>

<p>I wrote one for NaNoWriMo 2009 and am currently writing the first part of my series and a stand-alone. Only writing one for publishing at the moment though.</p>

<p>I’ve tried. I’ve started quite a few stories only to not finish them. I tend to jump around a lot, get distracted, and most of the time I just don’t have the time so everything ends up just getting put in the back of my mind. To finish a novel is one of my goals, though.</p>

<p>I feel that, besides a few prodigies throughout history, writing a good novel requires life experience. Most “novels” penned by high schoolers are laughable.</p>

<p>I have too many plot bunnies.</p>

<p>I tried, many times. Quit em all, I’m too busy.</p>

<p>My friend’s publishing one right now.
But I haven’t personally.</p>

<p>I published a children’s book lol…if that counts.</p>

<p>BUt yeah, writing a novel is certainly one of my life goals :)</p>

<p>I’m writing a novel now =)</p>

<p>It’s kinda an “Alternate Universe” story. Humans (no ninjas or monster or anything), but different world.</p>

<p>I’ve written several pieces of short fiction, but haven’t quite attempted a novel yet. I’d like to write one some day, though.</p>

<p>My current short story keeps expanding, so we’ll see–I think it’ll probably end up a novella at this rate.</p>

<p>I had a feeling some CC’er’s would definitely be interested in writing a novel.</p>

<p>Anyone ever hear of an 18 year-old-ish BOY writing a novel? I’ve only found like one guy who wrote the book Twelve or something like that. The reviews are awful.</p>

<p>ps.</p>

<p>Rixs, really? That’s amazing.</p>

<p>@ RileyJohn: I think Christopher Paolini was only about 18 or 19 when he published “Eragon”. It went on to become a bestseller. So yeah, there are definitely some talented teen writers out there.</p>

<p>I think Christoper Paolini was 15 when he started writing Eragon, but it was officially published when he was 17 or 18.</p>

<p>I’ve been trying to write a novel since I was in 6th grade. I just love writing ^.^</p>

<p>A bestseller doesn’t mean it’s a well-written book.</p>

<p>See: movie blockbuster.</p>

<p>Quoted for truth.</p>

<p>And what the hell is a plot bunny?</p>

<p>And Swordbird was published by a girl who was only about 13 at the time. It’s rare, but can be done.</p>

<p>Oh, and I meant to ask, have any of you had any short stories published? That’s a more reasonable place to start.</p>
