I'm writing a book

Basically, it's about the end of the world. The city of New York and Seattle are the only survivours after the apocolypse. Though the worst is over, the trip to the west is even more dangerous with hurricanes while 3,000ft in the air, 10.7 earthquakes paralyze those trapped elsewhere in the country. It'll describe their trials, state by state. So... i'll add some nuclear mutated zombie people. comments, questions?

If you're going to write a book, you should at least know how to write "apocalypse" correctly.

Oh i spelt it wrong? Apocolypse?

It's spelled Apocalypse.

Oh...ok

Looks like I'm not the only one who's writing a book here, sounds good.
Make sure you know what you are doing and good luck.

It'd be real dick of me to discourage a fellow aspiring writer, so I'll just say that I sincerely hope you give more dedicated attention to finishing this than you have your past projects.

Those are games and movies. Things i haven't done for long periods of times. However i have been writing books and fictional newspapers for as long as i can remember. Besides the topic is completeley freeform. Not a liscence like South Park or Mario.
Of course, it would be nice if anybody had some suggestions for this book. The characters are just millions of English Ameiricans trapped in a post-Apocalyptic Earth, in the United States of Ameirica. So if anyone had some suggestions, it would be greatly appreacheated.
PS: I was also thinking of making this into comic books but my drawing sucks so...yea.

Heh.
You DO know that 2012 is a special year, yes?
It is said to be the end of the current "program" and that the world will change after 2012. The reason for this believe lies in the Maya-calendar and the bible-code which both stop at 2012. Coincidence?

Quoted for truth.

Books aren't like games where you can dump them any time you like.

Worry not! Spellcheck will catch it!

Best of luck to you.

The last times you said you were going to make something, you didn't. We also didn't allow you to make threads about that sort of stuff either because of it. Why would a book be any different?

Because he included a flashy image.

You stole my idea, except I had vampires in it. Maybe co-author?

By the way, you use three dots in an elipses, not two.

I also somehow doubt you have anything else to show us other than a cheaply made not-fit-for-a-book cover, made in MS Paint (just like the "diagram" of your audio program invention).

Maybe you should learn how to write, do the research, and have a plausible outline for your "book" before you announce a book idea.

Who's the protagonist? Who's the antagonist? Is there a deeper story to this other than "the world gets ****ed over by weather and disasters" aka "The Day After The Day After Tomorrow 28 Days Of The Dead Later"?

Yeah, good luck on your book, i'm also writing a book, but i don't want to spoil it for everyone, and the fact it may get rejected after doing so.

It's not a very original idea, so it isn't yours.

Posting this on behalf of Tei, who lost his password:

"Well, at least you have more control over your grammar than most aspiring novelists I've seen. I recommend coming up with something, you know, more original...because seriously, the whole "Apocalypse!!! OMG" thing is as cliché as making a character for a fandom with whom a canon character falls in love with, despite any previous or currently-existing romantic ties. Oh, and make provocative characters people will want to read about...give 'em flaws. Don't make them like Uberperfect McBuffbuns who uses a scythe, twin mini-uzis, has perfect aim and bones everything with breasts. With these in mind, also consider picking up Stephen King's On Writing. It's a good read."
