GIANT DEATH ROBOTS
I don't think it has actually killed anyone. Then again, I've never had a chance to drive it.
Remember, giant robots don't kill people, people kill people.

So just write three more sentences....Story is progressing very slowly. At 15.500 words now. Hm :/
Should likely be at least 20K if it is to count as a decently sized minor novella.

They probably paid themselves a hefty chunk of that money as labor.Apparently the giant robot cost 2.5m to build. How did they even spend that much on it?
Yup, and they were probably underpaying everyone who worked on it by quite a lot, relative to equivalent but more pedestrian jobs.They probably paid themselves a hefty chunk of that money as labor.
Why is that you're either able to reply to all the threads, or none of the threads? There is no middle ground.
I think Dark Biography works.Hm, my novella is nearing completion, crawling about with spasms, as it has to carry a rather heavy burden and therefore giving the impression it is about to die.
I don't have time to write something else, so I will have to present this to the other publishers. I won't be surprised if it is turned down, because I always end up presenting a bloated form of a short story when writing something larger.
I am also thinking of a title. What do you think of "Dark biography"? It is - on the surface, and tbh not just on the surface - about the biography of a wealthy businessman who went missing. The narrator (the story is written in the form of journal entries) is contracted to write a series of articles for the local periodical, as a brief biography (the businessman was a prominent son of some suburbian community).
Of course, in practice, the task becomes very difficult, since apparently there is very little info on the actual story of that person, and a surprising wealth of ominous rumors and other uncanny bits and pieces (including a photograph which seems to present a different, monstrous face to specific observers of it).
All the above is largely a metaphor for the inability of children to form a realistic view of their estranged (missing) father. Obviously this isn't spelled out in the actual story.
Right? True story, I'll just put off posting altogether if I don't have time to hit all the threads in one go.Why is that you're either able to reply to all the threads, or none of the threads? There is no middle ground.
Leaving Cookie Clicker on in the background while trying to write is distracting...
