/lit/ - Literature

Anyone else play around with format and font to get in the writing mood? I realized that the 8.5/11 blank in front of me always reminds me of essays and school work. I downloaded a template for a paperback and changed the font to a typewriter feel and it was so much easier to write. The dialogue looked correct for once.


The story is going to be a man with an obsessive work ethic gets trapped inside a 24/7 Mexican restaurant that never ends. One room leads to a similar dining room. He has to get a job there to afford food and sleep in the closet. The employees and customers come and go, but he can't escape. Maybe some occult stuff happens after he befriends everyone. Chapters interspersed with histories of cuisine or conversations of drunks at 4am. Eventually he escapes but becomes obsessed with the cult, trapped forever in his own mind now.
