Okey dokey I need some help with story ideas.
By: Evan on 5/3/2002; 11:32 AM

I'm having a hard time finishing up Niggly Bop and the Quest for Toilet Paper Part 3+3=6 because way back in part two I made some allusions to the sort of stuff that would be going on once Niggly Bop and Fred reached Streadhimdup (In case you guys were wondering the town's name is an anagram of Mr. Stupidhead) which is a town of religious fanatics who are excessively polytheistic ie. god of underwear, god of pink underwear, god of throwing mushrooms at squirrels, god of painting cows blue, you get the idea. Actually just writing for help for ideas seems to have given me some, what with the throwing mushrooms at squirrels and painting cows blue.

OK Evan, I've been struggling for days to come up with something helpful for you.

All I got is this: Nothing has to make sense. That's important. People write boring f***ing stories that make sense, and I light the book on fire, and sometimes toast a marshmallow over it.

I recommend just ending the story, so you'll be free! Free to run and play in the fields of your mind. You're a very creative dude, and I think it's time you got out your big guns.

Your next story will be the best work you've ever done. It will have hams in it. That doesn't mean the story is ABOUT hams. It will be documentary style, so the film can be made on a small budget. It will have three distinct acts, and it will take a brilliant reader to figure out what any one of them has to do with the others, but BY GOD, they WILL have something to do with each other, or you'll pay!

Get busy.

Thank you Richard, I'll probably finish it up sometime in the next week. I have been in a really hyper running around my room making squealing noises and waving my arms, which is a very good mood to be in for me when I'm writing.
