TET: Are we there yeeeet?

[Veceria]

Eyoooo my comrades!

It's a Vecchan!

For some reason I always interpret your avatar as making sarcastic "airquotes".

Shit, you got behind the secret of my new flag!

The child has still much to learn. First we must break him and undo him of all the clutter filling his mind. After that we shall recreate him. He shall be improved. He shall be upgraded.

The past few weeks interacting with you and hypothesizing the circumstances/conditions of your existence have been a pleasure, Hurde. But alas, we come to a breakthrough. I have now figured out the nature of the beast.

You know you want it.

[Benshir]

You know you want it.

Bring it, Dutchman. Upgrade me.

It doesn't look enough like a butt and an ass to be assbutt.

We have the technology. We can make him better. Faster. Stronger. Verbose-er.

And if this is not be possible because of unfortunate variables, we shall properly recycle him. But don't worry, that almost never happens.

Have you ever seen the prologue for The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared?

No. Do I need to in order to say that one sentence is not a prologue?

I know. I'll expand it later if I want. Just that I'm a more liberal writer, and I don't mind doing silly things like this. Some other authors are like that too.

Chapter 97 of Life of Pi, for example, is just 2 words.

What did it say? What point did it serve in the story?

That might be fun. And by the grey skies of the river delta that is the constitutional monarchy where I dwell, so it shall be! I've got the POWER!

It was the point when Pi was talking to the Japanese businessmen, and it looked like this.

Oh well, we all have different writing styles.

[The Holy Therns]

That is your entire prologue? How big will your story be? One page?

Have you ever seen the prologue for The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared?

The title of which, incidentally, is not that much shorter than your supposed prologue...

[Benshir]

How many bibles is my uncle going to send me.

The Jerusalem Bible.
The Ignatius Bible.
The NIV Bible.
The KJV Bible.
The NKJV Bible.
The 21st Cent. KJV Bible.
The Orthodox Study Bible.
The New American Bible.

And now the Illustrated King James Bible.

Why can't be get me a bible I'd actually enjoy reading? Like the Skeptic's Bible?

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

I don't call putting two words in a chapter "writing".

Send him Bible Black and see if he'll send you any more after that.

A titillating idea.

But then again, he's Catholic clergy. Debauchery's part of the job description.

Excessively short chapters can work, in the right context. Douglas Adams pulled it off a few times in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy books.

Douglas Adams was an excellent writer, though, so trying the same trick isn't the first thing I'd suggest to a novice.

I'm not exactly a novice. I'm just suffering from a terribly long case of writer's block.

Making everything really short won't help you.

Not to put it sharply, but your posted sample leaves me strikingly unconvinced.

That's the point. I've been unable to produce anything that isn't crappy for who knows how long.
