I doubt the author's of today go around asking people to brainstorm them a novel.

Just me :twocents:

Bob.
Agreed!

Though I would have been more abrupt and said "...you are a lame-ass writer who has no ideas...". If you've done 10-20 pages and need help then I'd say stick to short stories. I wrote a book once. It was 350 odd pages; it took me 13 months of daily writing and not going to work; I got as far as lookin for publishers; then It disappeard off the computer.. All I have left is the contents page and the front page. I was pissed for 2 months and tried all i could to recover the data. I have chosen not to do anything like that for the forseable future. My book was highly political and would have halted the world's spin had it got out. mwahahahaha.
