MichaelSnoxall
01.23.13 | I used to put all my poetry on AllPoetry.com (they had a good community as well as neat contests and stuff, I also put my first novel on there). I put my second novel on Wordpress.
But now I use blogger. |

01.23.13 | Have you finished your novels Snox? |
MichaelSnoxall
01.23.13 | I have two unfinished novels and I'm planning a third which I will definitely finish, no matter how shit it is. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Cool Snots, what genre? |
MichaelSnoxall
01.23.13 | I guess you could call them all dramas. |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | I have a few unfinished novels from my younger days, which is frustrating despite being good practice. I've finally got round to properly planning one out and all is going well now. *touches wood* |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | I've had a lot of ideas for books, movies etc. buzzing around my head since I was small, doing my best to work them all into a book atm |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | Sounds cool Polyethlene. What sort of genres are you covering? I mainly stick to science fiction as I'm a massive nerd. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Yeah man, quite a nerd myself haha. Fantasy and science fiction yeah, I like to think "with a twist" (as cliche as that might sound)...
I always came up with characters, stories, places and whatever to entertain myself, and it only recently occurred to me that I could incorporate them all into the same universe
What sort of science fiction buddy? |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | That sounds cool, would be very interested to check some of it out.
Soft science fiction mainly, but doing some intense research for what I'm working on now (I'm 25, so I consider it my first 'serious' work.) The concept so far is about a neo-luddite who wants technology to fail and for us to go back to our primitive ways. He's bullied at work and a loner, etc (cliche), one day he goes into work with the aim of 'going postal', but everyone around him starts dying of a virus before he can start shooting. He then gets what he wants, having to fend for himself and not rely on a machine so to speak, but because he's so weak he won't be able to survive and will die of starvation. Will flick back to normal time and the virus would've been a hallucination he then has to decide whether to kill himself or go through with his plan. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Woah, intense. So he imagines the virus? Meaning he gets a taste of how bad the result of his plan would actually be... is that the idea? Forgive me if I didn't get it
Yeah I've got oodles and oodles of ideas (that just keep growing), but in terms of actually nailing down and writing the thing it's early days. I'll be sure to post some once there's more worth showing! |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | Nah you got it right on buddy.
Defo. Shout box me when you're up and running, it would be interesting to talk about it. It's good to see that there are over writers around here. |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | It takes its toll though on top of working, you know. By the time I finish work, I'm too fucked to write anything! It sucks. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Yeah man let's! And that just makes me feel more useless about how slowly I'm writing it, I'm currently bumming around until study starts so I have all the time/energy in the world... ahhh boy |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | Sounds good bro.
I did exactly the same mate haha. I was very lazy at college. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | I'm still getting over breaking up with my girlfriend not long ago, not even sadness just forgot how I spent my time and organised myself before I met her... even shit like watching a movie or making food or putting some music on, stuff like that was always a two-person decision so it's weird.
I've been really disorganised in the last couple of weeks, late to everything and never getting around to doing stuff, writing included. I'm getting better though, will do some serious writing tomorrow for sure |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | Man that sucks, did you live with her? |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Yeah, for a bit over a year. I'm all good, I just forgot how to live a one-person life, I feel rusty doing everyday shit it's so strange... writing was the sort of thing I did when she was out, so now I have to make an active decision to write if you know what I mean? Rather than have it associated with her leaving the house |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | Yeah I get you. I live with my fiance, fortunately she's cool with me just getting my laptop out and going for it. I know what you mean though how everything is made for two. I nearly curled up and died the other day; one of her friends said something to us about a film and my missus replied: 'yeah, we like that.' We! I didn't even like the fucking film and now her opinion is mine! Lol. |
MichaelSnoxall
01.23.13 | hey follow my new blog, guise: http://auraomnimodus.blogspot.com.au/ |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | That's cool, my gf wasn't so cool with shit like that... if it didn't directly involve her she got kind of offended, which was really dumb. Fortunately she was very open to me showing her stuff, as in she'd always be up to watch a movie I liked or jam a band I suggested to her. That was awesome, even if meant "we" had an opinion haha! |

Gidday mate |
MichaelSnoxall
01.23.13 | aye |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | That's OK then! Well I hope you're better off for whatever happened anyway man, always sucks going through that. I have to adapt to spending the rest of my life with someone. She's cool in seriousness though, just a typical woman.
Will do Snox. I haven't got the internet at home atm and my Work blocks blog websites, so once I'm up and running I'll get on that.
.com.au - no dramas mate. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | No bloody worries mate, bloody come from a land down under mate tie me kangaroo down ya little blotto rippaahhhhhhhh! |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Sorry, dirty filthy New Zealander here |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | Classic. I'm from the UK, so I can take the piss out of you both!! ;-) |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | @ Buttery yeah I'm actually relieved in a lot of ways, you can probably tell that it was a pretty, uh, claustrophobic relationship... we probably didn't put enough effort into giving each other space, physically and socially and whatever. Thanks a lot, good luck with your missus! |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | I lived in Wales for five years, that was fun |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | What the fuck did you do that for? |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Ahaha, my Dad got offered a high-paying job there so we got dragged along... it was sweet in a few ways, I grew to adore England and its history and we traveled around Europe a bunch. We did live in Wrexham though... |
MichaelSnoxall
01.23.13 | hahahahahaha nice. I love New Zealand, the photo of the water in my blog is actually I photo I took at Huka Falls. |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | What was Wrexham like? I live in a tiny town on the south East Coast called Felixstowe, got the 2nd biggest port in Europe though, which is fucking ridiculous. Everyone from the town works there. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Cool bro! Yeah NZ is a beautiful place, and I mean beautiful, I just don't dig the people here so much |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | A lot of my mates have been and one lives there now. They all say it's nice. Just got back from Australia in November though which was very costly. Will probably go after my wedding as that shit is going to be expensive! |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Wrexham was... kinda run down, vomit and urine-soaked, heaving with pregnant teenagers and chavs?
Second biggest port in Europe, holy shit! |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | And Snox I hope this is your uncle or something:

ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | Chavs, you've got it. They do my fucking head in. Sitting on the back of buses busting out UK garage on their poxy smart phones!
Tell me about it. Considering the town is so small, it's unreal. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Come to NZ Butter, I'll show ya round! |
MichaelSnoxall
01.23.13 | New Zealand is an incredible country. Amazing landscapes and things to see. |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Ugh chavs. There are NZ equivalents I'm sorry to say, though we call them bogans and gangstas. Yeah NZ is gorgeous, can't deny |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | I heard Bogans in Australia made me laugh. Apparently there's this vehicle they all drive, has like a flatbed on the back!
Ill hit you up when I get there bro and we'll hit the city! |
Polyethylene
01.23.13 | Sounds rad man! In the mean time I should prolly sleep, catch you guys later m/ |
ButteryBiscuitBass
01.23.13 | take it easy with your stupid time zone!!!!! |
