Well i start this thread purely on a whim, brought on by a scary dose of Power rock and Hammerfall. Yes it's a sex scene, strangest thing for me, in the fantasy novel i'm writing i have a sex scene going on to power rock music. Yes my MC's are banging each other to Hammerfall, could it get any worse, no... i guess not....

Well just wanted to see what other random or strange moment in writing this years novel everyone else has come across or something from last year too is fine. My last years one was my character screaming at me he wasn't gay and then admitting that he was at the end of a long week, he also admitted to liking the james blunt music i played writing battle scenes.

So anyone? and random things happen or strange things happen whislt writing a novel..?

My second MC is going to get with his secretary. After he dumps a hot demon chick.

That's seems pretty weird to me. Unfortunatley, I have a scene like that planned for my novel. But there will be no describing it. Nuh-uh. My mother would shoot me. Just a lot of hot making-out (written to heavy metal of course) and then wake-up the next morning.

Maddy's over and we're pulling an almost-all-nighter. That's pretty unusual for me. We've got the icecream and the caffeine drinks.

Yum.

Well, there was the time my fourth wall breaking character jolted the perspective from my character to me. The scene:

Quote:
[Irma] explained the plan, then complained about the sudden scene skipping. “Do you know how many words you could’ve got from explaining our plan twice more than necessary?”

Since the author has some standards, she explained the plan without revealing to the readers what it was. If there are any readers. Enough of that. Let’s see what Ethan’s doing.

-

“More writing, mule!” said Deep Voice, apparently having taken a cue from Apartment 3-G.

Whose perspective is this in, anyway? Ethan’s never heard of soap opera comic strips of any sort. …This is all Irma’s fault.

Back to Nike’s perspective.


I blamed my bad writing on my characters, yes.

Also, my techokinetic character explicitly needs to use SQL to communicate with the computer. Why SQL? Because I'm doing a course on it at the moment.
