It might turn into a complete circlejerk where the first letter of each sentence corresponds to some expletive (à la [James May's hidden message](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_May#Dismissal_from_Autocar)). Although it's a fun idea, nobody ain't gonna take this thing seriously!\r\n\r\nIt might be an idea to integrate the following:\r\n\r\n### Brainstorming\r\n\r\nI admit I have no idea about this - what does a typical writer do when thinking up ideas for a novel? Character bios, locations, basic structure of how the novel will play out? Either way, I think some brainstorming needs to be done before any actual writing is done.\r\n\r\nMaybe some online forum like the [/r/writing](http://reddit.com/r/writing) subreddit could help.\r\n\r\n### Ideal Length of novel, chapters\r\n\r\nWe should maintain that the novel itself should have a set maximum length (again, probably by sourcing from). Maybe it would be an idea to split the repository into one .md file for each chapter, and impose max lengths on the chapters too.\r\n\r\nWhat are people's thoughts on this?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/why-el/crowd-written-novel/issues/comments/101834081","html_url":"https://github.com/why-el/crowd-written-novel/issues/6#issuecomment-101834081","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/why-el/crowd-written-novel/issues/6","id":101834081,"user":{"login":"n-r","id":7421298,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7421298?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r","html_url":"https://github.com/n-r","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/n-r/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-13T22:13:55Z","updated_at":"2015-05-13T22:13:55Z","body":"@jfonte Maybe we contribute stand-alone scenes (\"episodes\")? Each could be two or three paragraphs long--nothing major, but something substantive. They could then be expanded later so as to not sound choppy."}}
