Light novels
Light novels are a kind of popular literature, read purely for entertainment by non-demanding audiences, so the writing style utilized in them is adequate, very different from the one used for adult fiction. They frequently have very short paragraphs, containing 1-3 sentences and are dialogue-heavy. Writers also restrain the role of form in the literary work in order to contain a maximum amount of pure, concrete content. Light novel authors use literary minimalism, mainly to increase reading speed, so they can be read at a pace only slightly lower than when reading manga. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_novellight novel blog: ranobecafe.wordpress.com

120k sanaa
Tilannekatsaus: 120k sanaa kirjaa kasassa, 100k oli 14.9. Hidasta tahtia, 500 sanaa per päivä.
Vielä 20k sanaa lisää, mutta editoinnin jälkeen 120-130k voi olla lähellä lopullista pituutta. Tavoitteena nyt: ensimmäinen versio valmiiksi Nanowrimon aikana.

CAPS LOCK DAY
BEST KNOWN FOR WRITING THE PERPETUALLY BOOK-REPORTED RED BADGE OF COURAGE, STEPHEN CRANE ALSO WROTE SOME PRETTY ALL CAPS POETRY. AND BY ALL CAPS, I MEAN LITERALLY ALL CAPS. CRANE'S COLLECTION OF POETRY, THE BLACK RIDERS AND OTHER LINES [1896], WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN ALL CAPS, THOUGH LATER EDITIONS HAD NORMAL CAPS, WHICH SUCKS.

Absoluuttinen Nollapiste: Musta Hiekka
Nollapisteen uusin ilmestyi tänään. Arvio ensimmäisen kuuntelun jälkeen: ihan okei. Progempi kuin edellinen Iiris, mutta popimpi kuin sitä edellinen Mahlanjuoksuttaja.Liimatan sanoitukset eivät ole yhtä napakoita kuin aikaisemmin, ei löydy Pyhää Nynnyä tai Irene Kaktusta tältä. Loppuun katseltu kukkanen ja Elämä paristojen varassa piti kuunnella heti uudelleen, mutta harvassa alkavat kunnon sanasävelyhdistelmät olla.
Seuraavaa odotellessa.

Doctorow's Project: With a Little Help
Here's the pitch: the book is called With a Little Help. It's a short story collection, and like my last two collections, it's a book of reprints from various magazines and other places (with one exception, more about which later). Like my other collections, it will be available for free on the day it is released. And like my last collection, Overclocked, it won't have a traditional publisher.
