I like the way that you wrote this. Have you read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Steven Chbosky? It's an epistolary novel. I found to be quite interesting.

I thought that insomniacs central was interesting in a random way. It seems kind of cool.

I really enjoy these columns. Pity there hasn't been any new ones written lately. I have learned quite a lot from the ones you have written, and have tried to apply them to my first attempt at a novel (which I am sure will be revised to a crisp once I can find a decent workshopping group). Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for being such a helpful person to new writers.

Doesn't Tolkien use IA in The Hobbit? "... if I told you half of what i know of Gandalf which is less than half of all there is to know.." Thats just my memory though.

So if I write the challenge, how would you like me to tell you besides posting...

I don't think I could write 50,0 coherent words in one month--maybe 5,0.

Intrusive authoring is something I've never been quite fond of. Lemony Snicket is the most amusing thing I've ever read, but that's basically because I hold British fiction in such high regard that it's impossible for me to think anything but. I find that when the author puts his own little comments in, it completely throws me off focus from the idea of the story. Reading third person and then suddenly seeing this "I" voice pop up makes me do a double take.

For this telephone novel, I can't say I've ever read anything of the sort. I've read books in letter format, but never with the focus as a telephone. That'd probably be a fairly interesting read.

(Lovely article. Always a pleasure!)
