My pitch, UPDATED

Posted by thecatreturns123 Apr. 8, 2009 @ 1:17 PM EDT

Well, here I go again, my third attempt to make a coherent post. I'm kidding; those other two weren't coherent. Just expressive. I hope someone notices this one because I'm looking for some feedback. Oh, quick side note for all of you who missed ZekeySpaceLizards video thing post, here is the cream of the crop.

Onto my news, or idea if you will. After discovering that I am doomed to fail as a flash artist on Newgrounds, and that I probably would never catch any caring user's attention by doing anything, I was on a downer. I haven't really been a massive user of NG forums but I think I've found a way I could add to them and get some attention. Not that I want to much attention, I just thought of this as away to add to NG, hopefully. It has come to my attention that I have quite a way with words, as I wrote a few short stories back when I was a wee lad (mostly school essays 'n' the like) and got much approval from my peers. Who for some reason wanted to read them...
Recently, I had a hopefully great idea for a new, proper full lenghty book type thing, but once it's complete it'll just sit in my documents with endless PowerPoint quizzes and some history homework gathering virtual dust.
And lo, I cameth to yon conclusion that I should get it up on the internet. Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor the effort left in me to get a website and regularly update it. Then I though "Hey, I got a NG account sitting around and rusting, might as well put it to good use" so I will, maybe.
My book idea is an abstract peace (abstract? ok, unusual) called The Rabbit Hole about a small group of kids who live perfectly normal lives in a small village with their parents. Apart from the fact that they never go to school, but just seem to learn things whilst they sleep. And there's the mysterious forest which they must never go into. And the werewolves. As you can see, life for these children may not be as it seems. Your response will determine if this is written. Chapter one is already complete, "amongst friends".
Please respond NG, otherwise I'm never going to use this account again. Oh, but I don't want to sound winey.
P.S. plot teasers will be posted if there is a positive response, thank you from The Cat.

UPDATE: Expect chapter one out in about 1 week, for the few of you who want to know. A big thanks to CahiraepCallah for his possitive feedback. They'll be posted as news on my account, once every friday 'til it's done. If I get a Deviant, expect to see them there aswell, plus any extra stuff I feel like puttin' on there.

Umm no offense

But you might want to work on your writing before you tackle a whole book. Like, on your grammar and stuff.

I'm sure your stories are good but you're only 15; wait till you have a lot of experience, enough to catch a reader's interests.

Apr. 8, 2009 | 1:57 PM thecatreturns123 responds:

Actually, now I'm 16. Also, the only reason my grammar sucks is because my spellcheck is broken. But um, thanks for the feedback anyway.

+I already did a whole book, but barely anyone read it.

That video is epic.
Don't know anything about writing though.

Apr. 8, 2009 | 1:58 PM thecatreturns123 responds:

Yeah, I didn't make the video.


Apr. 8, 2009 | 8:52 PM Johnbowe says:

Hm. And the Pic is related? Like are those your characters?

Apr. 9, 2009 | 5:34 AM thecatreturns123 responds:

Nah, that's cave story. It's a pretty good game, but again, I didn't make it. Is anyone gonna comment about my actual idea accept Eggy?


Apr. 9, 2009 | 8:46 AM CahiraepCallah says:

Nice idea. Maybe not very original but good. Even the most dumbass ideas can become pearls if written good.
If you know you can write (and you can proof it) and you really want to do this why anybody should stop from doing it? You're (well, I'm too young) still young, buddy, so you can try many things. And no man from da Internet should determine what you want to do, aye?

Apr. 9, 2009 | 1:15 PM thecatreturns123 responds:

Good advice. I think, because of you, I mite go through with this. I've realised that this isn't very original, though.


Apr. 9, 2009 | 9:10 AM TiredWolf says:

The question is: do you write to become famous or do you write cuz its fun?

Apr. 9, 2009 | 1:17 PM thecatreturns123 responds:

Fun. If I wanted to be famous I'd... do something else. That would make me faomus. Not this.

Apr. 9, 2009 | 9:45 AM Johnbowe says:

Ah. If you did say they were your own, I was going to call bullshit on you. i love cave story. Anyway, the pitch seems interesting enough. Put the chapter on deviant art. Its a good place to be seen.

Apr. 9, 2009 | 1:18 PM thecatreturns123 responds:

I ain't gotta deviant art, weirdly, it's never occured to me to get one. Love that sight though.
Hope you don't mind if I put this Johnbowe here but does anyone know how to change your username?

Apr. 9, 2009 | 1:55 PM CahiraepCallah says:

Oh, I forgot to tell. I love both Cave Story and that shorty movie over there. :3
And deviant art is really good place to put writings, you know.
I would see that chapter of yours. Then I could see if there is point in writing that book. :P Just crude joke.

Apr. 9, 2009 | 1:57 PM thecatreturns123 responds:

Funny :3. I guess if I got a deviant art I could have a different user name. Y'know if there's someone called WritingCat?


Apr. 9, 2009 | 1:56 PM TiredWolf says:

then write it! :D

Apr. 9, 2009 | 2:00 PM thecatreturns123 responds:

I will! :D


Apr. 9, 2009 | 7:15 PM Shadowthewerehog says:

wat does coherent mean?

Apr. 10, 2009 | 10:45 AM thecatreturns123 responds:

Umm... like important or makes sense. Information you might need to know.


Apr. 9, 2009 | 9:44 PM Johnbowe says:

I believe you can change it by PMing Wade. Bug him a bit.

Apr. 10, 2009 | 10:45 AM thecatreturns123 responds:

Will do, ta.


Apr. 10, 2009 | 6:11 AM CahiraepCallah says:

Oh, and about line "I am doomed to fail as a flash artist on Newgrounds" - how did you work that out? How many works did you made in flash? Less than three? If yes - why won't you learn on your mistakes and try again? BUT, if you have made about 10 projects and all were blammed then... Maybe you'r right.

Apr. 10, 2009 | 10:46 AM thecatreturns123 responds:

Hmm... yeah, 'bout 10. Many were stupid parodies that even I would blam.
