I fucking love this movie, especially the fact that everyone treats him like a handsome man instead of an anthropomorphic pig

im writing a novel about a man who believes the covid pandemic can be ended by silencing those who promote it (governments, media, philanthropists, etc), and then decides to begin planning it while questioning the ethics of killing people, saving the world, does the world need to be saved, etc

>>19697792
Sounds awful

>>19697792
sounds based. So long as you're self aware enough to know that your protagonist is not a hero

>>19697792
With the last scene where he rushes into the CNN lobby, wrestles with his duffel bag of rifles before security grabs him and he gets sent to a high security mental ward

>>19697782
He's very handsome

I want to write a book, or a short story, or really anything that can get the ideas/moments that play out in my head onto some paper... but I hit a mental bottleneck and can't bring what is vaporous into solid matter.

>>19697778
>Has anyone here written a book?
I haven't even read a book in ages much less written one

>>19697778
not a book but a short story about someone who finds himself walking the stairs to the top of his apartment complex to kill himself and doesn't know why/if he wants then begins to question if he's making the choice to kill himself, if he can control it or is something just forcing him to walk to his death

Only one I know of is Call of the Crocodile

>>19697778
>Has anyone here written a book?

Yeah.

>What is your book about?

It was about a young womanx who starts a zoo for transgender animals.

wtf is covid

yea, it’s about an art critic on a secret island where they conduct blood rituals, and a loner who makes hallucinogens and wanders around Southeast Asia.

Nausicaa = Porco Rosso > everything else

>>19700227
Nadia > Nausicaa

Kek

>>19700227
cant disagree with that

>>19697792
I'd read it, just don't write like Mike Ma or Pierce so it isn't one big fedpost

>>19700236
negria is an annoying trashy vegan cunt

>>19700227
Nausicaä = Laputa > everything else

Betcha haven’t heard of Call of the Crocodile, OP

>>19700684
Laputa is good shit but I wouldn't say it's on the level of Nausicaa

I am once again asking if your real name is Ogden Nesmer

Mere moments ago I finished finished an edit of the second of three parts of my novel.
It's an original fantasy world, set in what would be roughly 700ad in the real world.
The first part is about a young slave girl who escapes her master during a sacking, and her struggles to survive.
The second part is about two brothers trying to rule while feuds and rebellions tear their little kingdom apart.
Then the final part, wherein all the previously unassociated players come together, centers around a queen widow who tries to reestablish her father's kingdom.
It's much more character fiction than genre fiction.

I wonder if he's cute uwu

>It's much more character fiction than genre fiction.
i was with you up until this. that's just narcissistic cringe my dude

>>19700236
In bed, yeah.
Story-wise, Nausicaä all the way

>>19697778
I did when I was 16.
I don’t remember it super well, but some teenagers start hearing the same voice in their head and it’s an AI or something and I think they wind up killing each other.

My nigga

>>19697778
i love this movie, its the only one to make me feel happy. nothing but pure love for porco and his bygone days

>>19697804
It could be alright. You can't really judge a realist novel by a short synopsis.

>>19697837
>anything that can get the ideas/moments that play out in my head onto some paper...

Write them down. Any time you read something insightful, or have a thought that you feel is worthwhile and original, write it down. It can all be used at a later date.

It's a horror epic that combines themes of love, brutality, life after death, hope and despair. It's about a man that faces against a cult that at first threatens everything he loves to tempting him to reign as royalty after initial impressions. I absolutely love everything about it. I wrote it before but I accidently threw it out when I was cleaning my study. I'm re-writing it again and trying to not only capture the essence and life of the first time but improve upon where I remembered I could have done a little better.

I contributed to a fantasy novel that got vanity published. I tried reading it after I got my copy but it was garbage. Aside from that I've written several novel-length stories but none of them are finished. I've been working on my main project since 2014 and there's no end in sight despite the fact that I think about it almost every day.

It wasn't a novel exactly, but I wrote a five page book about mechs in the fourth grade for a state-wide creative writing contest.
