I have a bunch of good ideas, but Im awful at writing them down. Hopefully this will change when I take creative writing next year. Also stop with the scratchblocks thing, its just annoying when you're trying to have a conversation.

Why did you quit?

K, sorry about the scratchblocks thing then. 

Great! If you write something good, tell me.

My ultimate goal is to finish one, though

Good idea. What's the book you've gone farthest in (or the one you like best)?

Well, I have 2 things on my Figment account here; "I don't have a title" is the longest I've ever done (the thing in its entirety isn't there, only 2-ish chapters), but "500" is somewhat better. I'm not really happy with either though.

I once sent a book to be published when I was 12-ish but it didn't get published 

PS. don't use Internet Explorer. Use a Webkit browser like Chrome, Safari or Chromium. Faster, Safer, the Future

You know you can test blocks here.

I have a book that I want to attempt to publish when I'm done.  I've finished the first draft, next step is to get suggestions on revision.

That's kind of where I am in my book. 

I'm getting bored of revising my book bazillions of times. I wonder if this is what real "proffesional" authors feel?

I'm also planning to publish it ... but I'm not sure which self-publishing company to use.

I actually self-published some really weird humorous short story as a 40ish page 'book', but it was just for my friends and most of the humor stemmed from inside jokes

Cool! What's the title?

Speaking plainly, "I don't have a title" is great! I read the first part, and I thought it was pretty good! Just need a good title. 

And the same goes for "500". I don't really know what to say. It's great.     

Really? Thank you    Is there anywhere I can read something by you?
To your question, it's 'Miss Nesbit the Detective', but it's super random
