I intend to at some point, but I don't feel I'm old and wise enough at the moment.

I've been trying to.
Short stories. It takes so much time doing something you'd like to read.

I wrote twice for theatre.
Been played less than 20 times. Biggest audience 600. A great reward.
I've been stuck with another play for nearly two years now. It's completed but there's a twist that doesn't really work.

Two persons I know have written & been published.

It's a bit like in Capote, when you hear someone you've known has just finished, you can't help feeling hurt.

Yeah, most of it perhaps but the Kenji Siratori stuff seemed pretty pretentious for want of a better word. I take it he is 'unique' in the field in that he seems to dole out acres of sub Burroughs cut up/nonsense type stuff and most of the bizzaro stuff it at least narrative based rather than stream of (tedious) conciousness stuff. Don't get me wrong, stram of conciousness type stuff or cut up type stuff can be nice but the Siratori stuff I read was just really awkward and bad.

That sounds like a good idea. What will your comics be about? Superheros or mundane stuff? Or somewhere in between?

I guess I meant Jack Keuroak mostly. He didn't edit, just typed. It's pretty easy to remember some cool incident and just type away and say "Done." It's a bit harder to make up everything and get every word just right. How he managed to actually be readible is a literary miracle.

Hasn't everyone at some point read a book (good or bad) and said "I could do that?" I'm sure everyone would like to write a book. No, that's not right. Everyone would like to HAVE written a book. Actually writing... only someone who's never done it before would say "I want to write."

I'd rather masterbate with coarse sandpaper than write, but I'm in too deep to quit.

Oh i do that all the time. I never consider it as something anyone else would want to read though, probably rightfully so. But if i could attach a famous name to it i imagine it would become some kind of gospel.

I'm another intending to author... It is a really tough thing to write and im definatly not a very good writer at all, but that wouldn't stop me. I'd need a couple of years of years alone... but i will do it eventually.

I wrote several novellas when I was 10 or 11 based on The Man from UNCLE tv series. I was doing fan fiction before that term was coined. They were full of car chases and gun fights and bombs, and Napoleon Solo saying witty things to pretty women. I wish I still had them!

I have promised to myself to write a book by the start of football season. I am a storyteller and I have a way with words and it will be vulgar as all hell and maybe I can make some money. yeah.

i want to write a comic about the life of keiji haino, it will be a largely fictional account that plays up to his mysterious, spectral and shamanic persona. so you could say it will be a superhero comic.
the thing i want to do with my friend to describe it in cliched but succinct terms would be as a cross between roy of the rovers and south park, which is to say a football comic with lots of surreal, juvenile and borderline offensive humour.

not really, besides, billy the fish is shit. there's only about a 5% chance of it ever getting made though because my friend is too scared to make stuff and put it out incase people think it's shit (seriously) even though his writing isn't shit.

So it's like real person fanfiction, but in comic form? If so, I totally support this.
