It is about a person that finds a huge bag of money in an abandoned field.
They use that money to start a small business and along the way the fuck over a whole bunch of people with no repercussions and in the end everything went better then expected.

It's about an ex-con recently released from prison whose prison buddy died, but he won't admit that he's very sad about it. He's living in a small town working in a post office, and he spends most of his time watching for a little boy named Ricky for whom he has paternal/Santa-esque feelings.
He's convinced his mother is headless, has frequent conversations with silence and fetuses, and wears a woman's fur coat everywhere.
In other words, it has no plot at all, but things happen

Mark Twain piloted paddle boats down the Mississippi. He became well known for his prowess and was soon hired to teach the art in India. He taught there for several years until an unkown saboteur caused a horrific boiler explosion destroying the ship he was on and everyone thought him dead. He survived and using his contacts in the black market of India, he commissions a ship like no other. It is powered by a new energy source and can slip silently below the surface of the water. He abandons the name Mark Twain taking the moniker Captain Nemo and calls his new ship the Nautilus.

As one man tries to escape a world he thinks is dying and in the process save the sanity of the woman he loves, a rich city falls into civil war as two different ideologies diverge as to how an invading force should be dealt with.

This onse-sentence summary cuts out a lot, of course, like the central theme of struggle vs complacency, the heavy deconstruction of fantasy i go into, and the argument that a work of fiction can only talk about itself and the author's viewpoint but say nothing about the real world, but keeping it to just one sentence, that's what it is.

It's about a kid in a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting. Many years after the actual incident. He and his tribe/clan are on this huge, continent sized desert, and must work all together if they want to collect the most basic human needs. The tribe are a bunch of geomancers (low level). They keep pyromancers as slaves, locked inside rock coffins, only letting them out to use for cooking and cleaning water.

The zombies finally came to life and caused havoc, but we managed to deal with them and life goes on. People know what signs to look for and are constantly on alert. If you're bitten or simply die, you become a zombie. If they see a zombie they all carry side arms and can take them down. But the zombies are evolving. They are decaying slower allowing them to appear much more human. They can get closer than before allowing them a better opportunity to make the kill. Eventually they learn that timing is everything and willing to put off killing if it means being able to attack while in an enclosed space.

A scientist invites a few select people to his laboratory orbiting Titan in order to reveal the most amazing discovery ever. The interstellar drive. The guest include a prominent journalist, an important politician who is head of the council who is in charge of funding the scientist's research, and the scientist's assistant, a former mafioso henchman. However before the scientist can exhibit his great discovery, he is murdered. The police are sent for and the C cop and S cop show up. They set about collecting clues in order to figure out who killed the scientist, but all three other people have reasonable motives for doing the deed. The politician is facing reelection and half his constituency want the scientist to succeed, the other half want the funding to be given to better projects. The journalist has written several articles which the scientist has proven to be almost outright lies, and the henchman was after the scientist's money. However in reality, the scientist faked his own death because he had failed to develop interstellar drive and wanted to save his reputation as the greatest scientist ever. So he colluded with the C cop to fake his death and plant evidence. However the C cop double crosses the scientist and actually kills him, taking the massive amount of money the scientist has hidden. The S cop finally figures out what happened after proving the innocence of the other three, and has a climatic confrontation with the C cop. The end of which results in a shootout where the S cop is wounded and the C cop is killed. THE END.

I have a story that develops in three books.
first one is the adventures of three mischievous children who want to find a meaning for their empty lives, living in a giant desert continent where all the small oasis villages are far away one from the another and only coast cities are huge. On the way they learn about some dark things happening in a far away continent, but they are not really scared about that. The events finally led them to a huge cost city where they end their adventures abruptly when their small and comical missions become a little bit serious. Obviously a children's book.
The second is a more action packed book about a group of old people who, upon learning that this continent will be soon overunned by necromancers and their troops, assemble a last stand against them in a port while they gather eminent people and run away to another continent. This book will be for preadolescents.
The third one is about how the two groups gather together, the children are young adults now and the newly stablished necromancer empire on the other continent is ready to launch a massive invasion. The style of this one will be a little bit heavier but I still think it will be for pre adolescents.
I have this project since ever but I'm stuck in the middle of the first book and just draft for the second.

No, it's not coherent because you can't even string a sentence together.

3 summers ago I worked prodigiously on a novel which I'll finish someday.

It starts off with a boy in high school just emerging into the storm of adolescence. He has a vivid dream, more real than life, about being in a blissful, transcendent love relationship with his English teacher. When he wakes up, he becomes obsessed with his teacher, hoping to recapture the perfection which he only briefly dreamed. However, he is tortured because he realizes how impossible it is for a student to court his teacher - it is forbidden love, but he is no Romeo, and does not dare transgress his social limits. He determines to become as successful as possible so that one day he can show up at her door, an eligible and wildly successful bachelor, and they can reunite.

When he goes back to her many years later in his mid 20's, he is a successful something (haven't figured out that part yet), and his former teacher is smitten and agrees to go out with him. He courts her and they enter a relationship, and he thinks that his dreams and ideals have been fulfilled. The twist is that he suffers a grave disillusionment when he realizes that the reality of their relationship is nothing like the blissful dream he had so many years ago, and he abandons her just so he can pretend like he is still chasing her. It ends with the portrait of a man who would rather live in a world of illusions than the ugliness of reality.

>>431306
I kinda like the premise, but not the ending. I like the reality vs illusions thing, but I think the character's resolution within his illusions should express or mirror his desires/fantasies, which the ending doesn't do. From the info you provided, he was obsessed with his fantasies, not the fact that he couldn't have her. There has been no indication that he was in it for the chase itself. If he leaves her, then he needs to find a way to live in his fantasies. Your resolution directs attention away from the fantasies and puts it on the chase, which as a reader I've not received any indication that that's what he wants. From the info you've provided, it sounds like you're close, but that it might need some slight tweaking - but then, I haven't read it, so my criticisms could be invalid.

>> No.431727

>>431360

Hmm, thanks for the thoughtful response. I think that the fantasy and the chase are one and the same. I am largely inspired by the Romantics like Gatsby, Frankenstein and Humbert of Lolita, whose lives are motivated by this chase of an impossible object. Unlike those characters, my protagonist actually achieves his goal, but realizes that he was never in love with her, just the idea of her, and the idea of chasing after something transcendent. Another possible ending I am toying around with is the idea that even though he experiences disillusionment, he realizes that even though real love is lesser than ideal love, it is also more genuine in a sense because it is physical love between two concrete entities, rather than the love of an abstraction or false ideal. A possible double twist might be that the character realizes his mistake in abandoning her, and returns to her having discovered the true value of love. Whether or not she will give him that second chance is something I think I will only know when I write up to that part. Anyway, thanks for the commentary.

>So that novel you're writing, what's it about?

An Empire missing its leader. Headless, shambling under the control of several factions. The leaders plot against - and backstab - each other while maintaining an air of peaceful diplomacy. They are united only by the knowledge that the Empire would surely collapse should they declare open warfare on each other.
To make matters worse, a large prison colony has begun a revolt, even going so far as to claim portions of the Empire's capital for its own.
Interstellar raiders harry their trade ships, and raze their out-of-system colonies. Their attacks have stepped up in the recent years, sensing the weakness of their opponents.
Rival kingdoms of the stars challenge their dominion over planets. Some are subtle, using trade agreements and red tape to pin the Empire down. Others put their settlements under embargo, straining the economy of the planet.
The story is told from many viewpoints. Common folk, such as a rank-and-file soldier, an ordinary civilian, a new recruit, a factory worker, an asteroid miner, a frigate officer, or the members of a joint task force.
And the leaders vying for control over the Empire - the commanders of the Army, Navy, and Defense Corps, the CEOs of armament manufacturing and development companies, the Council of Ministers.
