When it comes to writing a novel, people usually think of an endless process of mapping out ideas, writing, editing, and re-writing before anything even resembling a finished book comes to fruition. Author Eric Havens decided to throw that out the window and is literally writing a horror novel on his website in real time, with no editing or re-writing allowed.
George R. R. Martin could sure learn a thing or two from Mr. Havens as it seems like the next Song of Ice and Fire book won’t be release before the end of the century.
Synopsis:
Screenwriter and novelist Eric Havens, known mostly for writing the Jill Sixx-directed horror film shorts Call Girl and The Stylist, has started a bold project on his site erichavens.com. He is writing a horror-esque novel in real time, meaning a new chapter is written and published every day with no retroactive editing or rewriting allowed.
The novel itself is about a woman working as a soul collector for the Devil in a post-apocalyptic world. The story wasn’t heavily outlined or planned so we will all see what the story evolves into at the same time the author does.
