I am planning writing a novel about my adventures and my life on the web. This includes penpals, my experiences on forums and newsgroups, people I've met there and my thoughts on them... the debates on psychoanalysis I have started or/ and participated in...
What do you think? Is this a good idea? Would you like reading such a novel?

technically, you aren't supposed to use information you gather by observing without the subjects' direct permission. in social behavior sciences doing so is considered unethical. just to warn you. we actually just talked about that in my anthropology class.
in answer to your question, i don't think it's a good idea, and i wouldn't read it. it doesn't sound all that interesting, or as if you could fill that many pages with things you've found on the net. plus i think you'd have a hard time publishing it. i think an interactive website would be a better idea, from whoever suggested that.

It depends on how it is written, it seems to me that such a novel would be a good oppertunity to present ideas and imaginative concepts and also be a chance to try out some inventive writing styles.If it was presented in this way it could make an interesting novel.

i love this question! a million) Characters problem: superb, Mary-Sue characters that are the basic hero/heroine with per chance a love interest and particular skill. Yawwwn! answer: you want to coach reliable forms of personality progression. Separate your personality from some thing. per chance as a replace of a vampire, your significant personality became in effortless words 0.5-bitten and has an irrational concern of the darkish. 2) Plot problem: you've a effortless theory of the position your novel is heading notwithstanding it really is like the map has a large drink spill for the time of it. answer: Map it out. if you're like me, you hate drafts, enhancing, and problems with that sort. from time to time in simple terms sitting down and writing the basic outline of your tale is constructive. Jane is a loser > She receives superpowers > She saves the city > Her acceptable buddy proposes to her > acceptable buddy is abducted > Jane saves the day (lower back) 3) Writing problem: you've in simple terms written a reliable paragraph...you imagine? answer: follow the order of operations. you could't have Billy gasp, open the door and observe the killer. He needs to open the door, see the killer and then gasp. it will be confusing writing like this and any incorrect way round would absolutely look extra appropriate yet interior the longer time period it builds a lot extra suspense. 4) author's Block problem: you've tried each thing; listening to music, taking a spoil, ect. What now? answer: There are some to this: a million. connect a probability-free on-line writing crew it really is sponsored by a great number of prognosis and reliability or get someone you comprehend to study your tale and grants enter. from time to time a clean set of eyes works wonders. It were given me out of two months of author's block. 2. strengthen a writing agenda. Write interior an similar position jointly commonly used. After that factor provide up. you receives used to this and it shows on your writing. reliable success! i wish I helped that is all of my own suggestion and reviews.

I write quite often. I get that feeling that some part is not going to be interesting or something like that. After your first draft, just take a deep breath and imagining yourself as any normal person, read it. You will find the mistakes or tips to make it more interesting...

Focus on this: What has been the consequence of this time spent online? Change the facts if you have to but make it something interesting. Did you meet someone online and conceive a kid with them? Did somebody get murdered? That sort of thing.

As a fellow writer, I think it would be a good idea. I like reading about other people's experiences.
