h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Amy.
Have you thought bout which group you're gonna go for if gw closes?

Sean.

Hi Sean, I have no idea! I looked at one I saw plugged on this site but it was dreadful, seemed to be a very strange bunch of people all shredding anyone new that came along....very twisted indeed. So, I guess, I am at a loss! Have you any ideas?
Amy

Not at the mo.
Which one did you look at?

Sean.

I cant remember what it was called.....I think we may all have got a post about it so you might have seen it already?
How are you anyway?
Im trying to figure out something about dogs/foxes that someone brought up and its doing my head in!!! I have to change it a bit and cant figure out how to do it
Im so bad at editing!!!!
Have you got ideas for 60words yet?
Amy

Writersdock? Ain't had a look yet just a quick glance!
I'm fine thank you, yourself?
Yeah, what is it? Maybe I can help?
Not really The Mirrior offers a chance to use the old self image thing, but that might not been such a good idea! Time travel seems a lot more fun!

Sean.

Ive no idea what to do for 60words...nothing springs to mind!
In dogs / foxes. the guy murders someone and then wanders about...surely someone would notice the blood...especially the people at the station...so how do i rectify that one?
Bah!
ps got the singing gig!! I am to be made a project of! They are going to train me up and write me songs and get me gigs..Im terrified but sooo excited!!

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply Amy but I've just read this story 3 times. I don't think the blood is a problem, it's dark and if he has dark clothes on you can't see blood clearly so no probs there. But like you say it's the station but again, this blokie is odd and people tend to give odd people space, no-one wants to get involved, the old someone will report it type of buck passing!
I think you get away with it, maybe if you make a mention of his dark clothes or add in a look or something from the man needing the lighter just something small and understated so it don't knock out the great flow the story has!
Hope this helps!

Sean.
ps That is so cool, well done!

Good ideas, Seany! Thanks for that, I get so panicky when I have to edit anything cos I can never get back into the mind set I had when i first wrote it, always ends up with big glaring add ons! But I like your idea, means I can do it sneaky subtle like with maybe a couple of phrases,,,good work!
Off to bed now, Im jiggered!
Sweet dreams! xx

I aim to please!
So that's how spell subtle!?!
Yeah sometimes it is hard to get back into the feel of the story init? this can be both good and bad, depends on the story really!
jiggered? That's a new one on me!
After you're story? Nightmares more like!

Sean.

ps, do you reckon Don't Kill Bill and Don't Forget You're Wallet could be combined for a longer story? At the mo I'm thinking of making this my third novel!

Hello you!
I think that merging the two stories into one is a fantastic idea. I also think that together they would make a great screenplay.
Your third novel? Well done you!
What are the others about?
Jiggered? I thought everyone said that one!! Maybe its just a scottish thing!
Weel ah must gang aff tae ma pit! ahm fair shegecked the nicht! Amy or Esme if I was to keep up the jocktalk!!

Hello Amy!
Ah thanks!
Yeah, not 2 published novel's though!
My first one was called Kissin' Crete and it was about four lads who worked making slabs, and decide to make a bit of money doing a `job' turning over an Indian resturant and then they were gonna use the money for a drug deal. Bad stuff happened and one of them dies in the getaway. I think I over did it because I spilt the book into 2 parts, part 1 was called `The Indian Job' and part two was called `Two weddings and a Drug deal' looking back on it though I should go back to it and just make it about the job and the death. Novel number two is called `The Girl From Spar' and it about a lad in his early 20's who falls in love with the girl from his local Spar Shop, bad things happen mainly thanks to her brother and he hopes to show her how much he loves her by saving her brother. I'm sending it off to a publisher's tomorrow, one of the few you don't need an agent to send work to!
God this is long, but you did ask!
Maybe, but I am very far down south and except for Lands End and the isle of weight you can't get much further south, so maybe it's just me!
Did you actully sound like that then?

Sean.
