#novel writing machine

[thoughtportal]

Julia was twenty-six years old... and she worked, as he had guessed, on the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department. She enjoyed her work, which consisted chiefly in running and servicing a powerful but tricky electric motor... She could describe the whole process of composing a novel, from the general directive issued by the Planning Committee down to the final touching-up by the Rewrite Squad. But she was not interested in the final product. She "didn't much care for reading," she said. Books were just a commodity that had to be produced, like jam or bootlaces.                         

From 1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four),              by George Orwell. Published by Secker & Warburg in 1948 Additional resources -

sorry for the meme format that's apparently nearing a DECADE old but i unironically feel a shiver down my spine any time someone mentions buffy being rebooted

(For the game) I think the doctor should have more diverse companions. Give them more non human alien companions! Give them a companion is who fundamentally bad, who they have realize they can’t fix

yeah!!!!! oh and can i add to that! one thing i'd love to see? just like. a companion who is religious. in a way that is taken account into in the narrative and that is like. discussed? you know, how does going on time travel universe hopping adventures effect one's religious ideas. that would be fascinating to me. i think we've gotten like blanket statement things about future humans adjusting their religious beliefs or whatever but that's not what im interested in exactly. i want like. what does it do, to a modern human with modern religious ideas, to have to adjust that to aliens and shit. and how does their way of incorporating this life with the doctor reflect their character!

i think that'd be fascinating!!! and someone definitely smarter than me out there could probably write an incredible buddhist companion for the doctor and draw on the obvious cultural influences borrowed about cycles of reincarnation in constructing the doctor's whole regeneration thing to discuss shit. maybe one day. i'd love to see it.

the self checkout attendant is a vital part of the ecosystem... do not mistreat them... they have a pack bond with the machines and the machine CAN sense your intentions (not theft related, they kinda suck at sensing that. more like they can sense if ur in a hurry or if ur a bitch.)

I finished writing the first draft of my science fiction manuscript The Mind Game Machine this evening. I started writing it on November 1st.

In a little while, it will enter the editing process, where it will become better, and also longer (this is my shortest first draft in quite a number of years, and I already see places where I'd like to elaborate on ideas and characters).

Heeey it's been a while, but I've been working diligently on Dr. Malice. I've had the idea to include my art by making illustrations for each chapter, thus giving them more life and interest. I won't be sharing ones that contain major spoilers, but I'll likely be sharing some of the smaller ones like this one here, featuring the main protagonist of Dr. Malice, Cammy Karnell.

Currently, the book is at a little over 80k words with about 200 pages. I'll likely be finishing the book this year and working on editing and advertisements before I finally publish it. Stay tuned!

AI art is pretty convincing at this point, but AI writing still feels very “nothing burger”. If i were reading someone’s AI generated fanfiction I probably wouldn’t be able to tell, since so many writers *do* write like that, just characters doing things and then at the end you ask yourself what you were meant to get out of it.

I know that at this point the release of the third novel is practically around the corner (and I know I'm also very late to talk about this) so there's really no need to post about it. But I haven't seen anyone commenting on this on Tumblr before, which is kind of surprising, I'm not going to lie. (And I checked the tags and I used the search bar, I didn't find a soul who posted this before. Either that, or they posted it and I didn't see it (words/tag filters working maybe))

Anyway.

SO,for those who are excited for the new book and didn't already know this (either because you don't use Twitter, haven't seen this here on Tumblr before or are behind on the news) a new extended preview for Bendy: Fade to Black was released a while ago!

The first preview had already been shared here back in June, and it only had the first chapter of the book + the first page of the second chapter. This extended preview has the prologue of the book, chapter 1 and more extra pages for chapter 2 (I don't think it's the entire chapter,tho)

(Also, the book has 33 chapters in total. Nice)

Again,I know it's too late to be able to talk about this at this point (I got busy in September and was prevented from talking about it before), especially since this book is coming out like. This week lol. There's not much point to talk about this now. But repeating myself, I didn't see anyone commenting about this here on Tumblr. I checked the tags and used the search bar, and nope, nobody. Which is surprising considering the other official (I think?) things people decided to share here. And hey, maybe there really is someone out there who doesn't know that this preview hasn't been released (because I'm sure at this point some of you reading this will have already seen this preview before I posted it here) so consider this post as a helping hand/a reminder perhaps.

And just so this isn't just *a* post sharing the preview, here's a reminder for everyone to remember to tag your spoilers if you're going to talk about the new book! And for those who won't be able to read this book anytime soon (Me), remember to mute/block tags and words so as not to be spoiled! I have to definitely do that after posting this.

But yeah, that's all, have a good night everybody! (or day, whatever time you are reading this)
