Directed at everyone, when you say "write a book" do you mean actually "write a story that's long enough to qualify as a novel" or "have a book published and in shops and everything"?
The latter - but it's just a pipe dream I've not really got started on yet. I need to pull my finger out!
I had a dream a few months ago that I wrote a series of childrens books and Dimrill did the drawings. That was pretty cool.
You know what would be totally fucking ace? If we collaborated, right, on a detective story, where I write a day as the criminal, then give you a summary of the events of the day, including the actions of other characters and red herrings, etc. Then you write a day as the detective and do the same back. Then we repeat, until either you catch the criminal or the criminal wins, or simply gets away with it. Then we go strenuously through both for errors and plot holes, and compile them together as a super-experimental crime novel.
Also I can leech off your special crimino-stoppo-brains to make the detective in a different story I have in mind more plausible. And that.
