Yeah see that's what I'm going to start doing...except with Science Fiction.Just decided to write a book one day had always been telling stories in hip hop songs for years anyway
I'm a IT professional...when I started writing this I had no outline or anything. Just started writing. I ended up with 32 chapters. I suggest you go for it. keep me updated brehYeah see that's what I'm going to start doing...except with Science Fiction.
I asked because many people who just start to write books have some sort of background already, either working as a writer somewhere or majoring in English or Journalism in college.
I'm an accountant, I have no background at all lol. I'm going to do it though, something I've been wanting to do for awhile.
He groaned audibly and released his flesh, sinking into the cushions of his computer chair. He reached for his mouse and quickly closed down the object of his pleasure. Jada Stevens' playful grin and semen covered face disappeared in world of 1s and 0s. Kent had a preference for Caucasian women, by far over the women of his own race. African American. He inwardly seethed, remembering the humiliation he endured by the men and women of his own kind.
"The tryna ruin my reputation, man..." He muttered gritting his teeth, he ignored the increasing dampness of his trousers. "Why does the world hate me so much." A click from his bookmark brought him to TheColi. He was very familiar with the message board, a white interface with several subforums such as the Locker Room which he browsed religiously. He registered under a very inconspicuous name in an effort to blend in with the other black users of the board, he used vocabulary such as "cac" and "bedwench" which increased his forum 'rep' greatly.
I dunno, I felt like writing something.
You never know who might turn upwhen is your girl gonna make an appearance?
the slang is only incorporated when the characters are "actually" speaking.You need to work in how you word your story because the flow is weird.
You go from talking slang and normal language to talking all proper.

how would a "narrator" speak. Serious question...have you read a lot of books? I had to do a short bid recently and I read A LOT of books just to see how other writers phrase their shyt and I the majority do the same thing when phrasing the dialect.I get it but it reads weird to have the character speaking in his voice then to have a narrator jump in speaking all proper and describing everything in extra detail.

I respect what you are saying but I do NOT agree with the bolded.Serious answer yes I have read a lot I books and what I'm saying is your narration sounds weird.
It does not fit with the story in my opinion.
The transition from narrator to character is not smooth it's choppy and fukks up the Flo as I'm reading.
The words you use sound big and sophisticated but its not a natural way of speaking.
I don't need a narrator telling me" that there is a inconspicuous individual dressed in black with a sinister look in his eyes." It sounds weird to me because no one speaks like that.
I actually read a book on amazon where this guy's book had a narrator and it sounds like he googled descriptive words or was using a dictionary.
