Writing and ebooks

[pslasher]

My dad asked me the other day, completely out of the blue, if I was still writing.  I promptly answered that I was not.  He asked why not, as I used to write such creative little stories, and I had talent and should use it.  *g*  He wouldn't think that if he knew what I was writing!  But it did make me think back to the writing I did as a preteen

You could try doing NaNoWriMo. ;)

You know, I may think about that. Not this year, because I've still got this STRPS that's going nowhere. But maybe next year. It might be a good kick in the pants to at least consider it.

LOL funny,

"No Dad, not writing anything at the moment..." >.>

I probably would've done the same hehe >.<' . Sometimes, things are best left untold to parents :p

And oooh! I so want to get a Kindle too! The things I could read with a Kindle...*dreams*

"What would you do for a Kindle?
You don't wanna know. "

Also, it occurs to me that professionally published books should list length in word count instead of number of pages, just like fanfic does.

And the idea of books listing the length in word count is a really smart idea. Makes a lot of sense too (for the modern age) , you got a good argument there.

*g* it did amuse me, thinking "you just have no idea." But my parents will never know about my fanfic. Unless I write something completely gen, and even then I probably wouldn't tell them I'm putting it on the web, just show them the word doc or something. They wouldn't take the sex, slash and kink well, and I feel no need to start arguments over it. :D I think it's cool when people can talk to their parents about stuff like that, but that's not my situation.

Yeah, by "thinking about buying a Kindle" I really mean "dreaming about it." But still, it's fun to dream, no? Besides, I think saving my favorite fics is a legitimate thing to do, and ebook format is a neat way to do it.

*g* We can start a movement!

Haha
We're gonna have to come up with a good name though.
Hm...
