So I'm a little proud...


T. Brown 1st MRB

Recommended Posts

As you might know, I'm a writer.

Over the past 5 months, I have completed something I never could do before.

My first book took 6 to 7 years to write.

The second, 2 to 3 years.

The third, in a spawn of 5 months, just hit this: zPwhO.png

So I'm proud, and I want to bask in glory, so if you all don't mind, please post pictures of cats in my honor : P

(and yes Grant, crab cakes are allowed too)

So thats why you've been so hyper lately...

Dammit Cast, first you said I was high/drunk, then you said it was Promotion high, and now this? Can't a guy just have a habitual PCP habit and not be labeled? GEEZ : P

@ Cutts: My particular style of writing tends to be a bit daedal and of a farraginous plot nature (Think of Magnolia, only less concentrated since a book has much more to fill); this particular work centers around an old folk's home where the residents discover that the nurses and caretakers have created a death pool, so these wily octogenarians+ decide to have a little fun with them. Of course, due to my morbid curiosity over death and philosophy, the games become a bit more sinister and psychological as they progress, until the reader is not sure who exactly is betting on who :D It has been so much fun to write; I've been visiting old people's homes for the past few months, talking to the elderly, learning their approach to death (majority are fascinated by it!), and gaining a brand new respect for not only "The Greatest Generation", but the ability for them to remember every damn detail of their life!

Impressive!

Nice job on 100k words and 3 books, damn. Im a terrible writer, I would be lucky if I could manage 1,000 before giving up. Hahaha.

Whats the name of your books? just curious, and might just have to pick up a copy :)

The first one will be out in about 2 months; it is tentatively called F-ring ( i HATE the title; named after the last ring of Saturn, but its not a sci-fi book at all and while I can't really badmouth the publishers, lets just say it was not my choice) The 2nd will hopefully be out March 2013, the third too early to tell.

And Brown what are the names of your books they sound interesting

Only one that is named is the 1st, "F-Ring". I am fighting that title though; the story is not very sci-fi (F-ring, in case you didn't know, is the outermost ring of Saturn) but the publishers wanted to have that spin on it. Blech.

The others have yet to be named, but I'm all up for suggestions on the old folks death pool one!

I'm totally giving away copies to all 1stMRB members for free : D But the price on the first will probably be around $28USD (Hardcover, 997 pages)

I'm taking you to the words my friend and I totally want one ASAP. I'd be glad to pay for it to encourage you but if you tell me that you only get 10 cents out of every sold copy then that's not worth it, I'd prefer gifting you something on Steam :P hehehehe good job on that 100k words though! (P.S. I ain't ever posting goddamn cats on the internet.)
