Current Events > I have started writing my new novel. About 200 pages, and I've written 10 or 11.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I planned it to be fairly simple, and I think that'll sort of be the case. It's about the rise and fall of a fictional UK band. I doubt it'll be the best book I've ever written, but hopefully decent...or good. It's a mix of drama and black comedy.

What's the setting and when do you hope to finish it?

200 pages is too short

That's a whole 190 pages to think about what you're doing with your life

2009 - 2016, to make it contemporary. I can talk about music acts like Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, etc. and also modern things like iTunes, and celebrities saying stupid things on Twitter and getting in trouble.

I expect it'll only take a few weeks to write the first draft. I wanted this book to be simple, because my last 2 completed projects were extremely complicated and difficult to do.

That's cool. Are they going to be a struggling almost famous band or huge stars?

Good luck with it and let us know how it goes.

Both, I suppose. Part 1 is their rise to fame with small concerts, then Part 2 is when they release their first album, and are an "overnight sensation", and really famous for a few years, then part 3 is their decline...which'll probably be the best part, because it's funny watching musicians go wrong.

Hopefully this book won't be too hard to write. I dunno. Since the end of 2015, I've had a lot of trouble writing anything.

You should have one of them try to start a solo career and fail badly and have another one become a drug addict

That's pretty much part of what happens.
