Some people have misunderstood the page. ALL the tips are things NOT to do. Do the OPPOSITE. So Alexandra Hailey, DO NOT drink. It is NOT 'the longer the better.'
Mela, good grammar IS necessary.
Do NOT do the things outline there. DO the OPPOSITE.

Thanks. The drink advice is excellent I shall follow it immediately. As for long penises - yes I agree, speaking from the point of view of a woman, it's so important!
I shall now begin my novel....

What surprises me most is the number of comments people leave grumbling about how awful your tips are when there is a disclaimer at the top of the page telling everyone that these are what one should NOT do. Sometimes people amaze me, but thanks for the advice.

Really appreciated from a newbie in the writing world.

Yeah, right. How on earth was that supposed to help... it was just telling people that their work is perfect and to ignore any critics... especially editors (who actually try and help you) I don't understand your thinking and it was a waste of time reading it! I can't believe people are saying that was good advice!!

Have you geeks put in all that time and hard work? NO!!!

'pluto' on Thu, 18 Jan 2007 14:33:46 GMT, writes:

half of what is in here is stupid and completely annoying and in no way can actually benefit writing; on the other hand some of it does. You really ought to know that you can't disregard grammar and take another authors ideas. & bad things usualy attract readers. ie., several greek & english dramas/tragedy(I repeat, TRAGEDY) with several bites of controversy.

a lot of things in here were simply ridiculous and could actually send a writer out of sync by making them think that some of the things they're supposed to do they can't, and some things that shouldn't be done they can.

Dear Mr.Tip Man

How come you say this is how NOT to get published? This has helped me a lot in my writing, and it's gone on a novel that I'm planning on publishing mainstream. I showed this to a friend and even he is writing using it to write HIS first novel, and it's a pretty serious one, too.

God bless ya soul, son
Sincerely, St.Gabriel

NaNoWriMo only contradicts getting it all out, and though this was extremly funny I do have to disagree with parts of it.

Oh, this was excellent! I laughed out loud, especially to the idea about writing a sequel to "Ulysses"... Although there IS a novel set into ancient Egypt with more or less romance in it. It was written 1945, and it is called "The Egyptian", by M. Waltari.

'very funny...' on Tue, 25 Oct 2005 12:32:38 GMT, writes:

... and yet scary. I've entered myself in NaNoWriMo this year... and I've been perusing the forums over there. I do understand that many of them have no plans of ever publishing, but holy crap. Literally. If I'm going to bust my arse writing a novel in a month, I wnat to be able to turn it into something even remotely publishable. So, I'm taking things a little more seriously. Many of the things listed are things that many other NaNo'ers are actually DOING. Which is what scares the bejeezus outta me.

Besides that, I loved the tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek feel of "How to Write a Novel." I have a few people I'm planning on sending the link to. Muaahaahaahaa!!!
