Rock of Ages

Well, it has been a while since I last updated my book due to the fact that I have been overburdened with work. Ok, that might not be exactly the truth.
It could actually be because I got an Xbox 360.

Anyway, I have decided that I will have enough time to play once I am rich and famous. I have also discovered a way to make sure that people continue to read my book once they pick it up. I just have to use suspense.

The idea is that I end each chapter without really explaining what just happened so that the reader has to continue to discover what has happened.

Take this tidbit I whipped up for example:

Chapter 1
So there I was, sitting in my office, when all of a sudden a client burst in. She was wearing a long brown trenchcoat and her hair was beneath a fedora. Her face covered in tears, she pleaded with me, "Please detective, you have to help me!" Normally, I don't take walk-ins without a previous appointment, but since she was so upset I decided to make an exception.
"Normally, I don't take walk-ins without a previous appointment, but since you are so upset I will make an exception," I said. She fell into a seat in front of the desk and breathed a sigh of relief. I was starting to become intrigued. What was making this poor lady so upset? More importantly, why did she come to me? I listened intently as she leaned forward and began what would be the most amazing story I had ever heard.


See? I just made all that up on the spot, but If I threw in some more sentences for filler, thats a best-selling novel right there! Anyway, I just need to figure out how to use suspense in my current novel and I will practically be a billionaire already.

..and then the dusk falls upon him

Well, after some more slaving away on a hot keyboard, with nothing other than two screaming siblings to keep me company, I believe that I have fleshed out some more of my epic adventure. In fact, I did more than flesh out. Thats right, I wrote two paragraphs. Now, some of you out there may be skeptical and think to yourselves, "Two paragraphs isn't much, in fact it is quite little." However, you would only think this because you haven't read my paragraphs.

These are two paragraphs which will cause you to cry, laugh, sigh, faint, fall in love, and become generally a much more intelligent person, all in one flink. A flink, for those of you who don't know, is the space of time between two blinks. I actually made that word up. Now, of course, I can't show you these paragraphs as it would ruin the story to only reveal random parts. However, keep in mind that they do, in fact, come from the same man who invented the word flink.

Another day dawns on our young hero...

Since Myspace is mainly used for verbally abusing my friends, I thought I might be able to create a real blog where I actually posted things. It is, after all, the latest craze.

Speaking of latest crazes, I have jumped into another one of them. I have decided to write a book. Actually, a Novel. That last sentence shows you the extent of my grammatical knowledge. Anyway, I figure if I incorporate what everyone else is doing in their books then it will become a bestseller. Once that happens I will become moderately rich, then I will make a movie out of it and upgrade to filthy rich. Once I am filthy rich I might consider writing a sequel, and consequently film a sequel movie.

It is basically a foolproof plan.

After about a week of working on it I have gotten down the basic plot and succeeded in writing a prolouge and in opening the first chapter.
