Tiny Tim update!

[Slackjawed Cow]

Im sure not knowing the ending mixed with him writing drunk and taking breaks from writing it for weeks wont effect the flow of the story. His last book was all over the place because its almost like he forgot what he wrote the night before and has a different tone. Then he shoehorns in filler garbage of random crap that he thinks is " world building" when its just word bloat that he fills in after its "done" to reach a particular word count. Its like he gets sidetracked rambling about all these spec/details but its because he added that chunk after he was "done" writing the actual story. Its not even a joke when people say he writes like shitty AI.

 

[Leonard Rhomberg]

This book idea is something that would have been a quick visual joke on something like 30 rock. Or like in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back with “Good Will Hunting 2 - Hunting Season”

I can’t see even Pat’s ballwasher dorks being into this - especially since they hate anything Christmas related. It’s like a movie you add to your watch list on a streaming service and never actually watch and forget about

Between how convoluted the story no doubt will be and the way he as written the cockney dialogue, the story won't just be bad, but it will be a legitimately exhausting read. It will be one of those things where you are reading and after 60 seconds realized you've been holding your breath the entire time because you've put all your focus into trying to understand whats going on

 

[Harry Powell]

Wouldn't some stupid joke parody story be something a writer would just abandon if it wasn't immediately coming together? Stephen King shits out like 400 page original stories in days but Patrick is channeling all of his brain power into this. You missed the boat on the Pride and Predjudice and Zombies/Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter shit, Pat. It was already done and it was a shitty fad that everyone entirely forgot about because it sucked.

Exactly. Joke book with joke novelty premise? Shit it out while you work on your “important” books. But instead he’s putting magnum opus levels of “work” into this

 

[Slackjawed Cow]

Well Pat I’d think you would at least try to get this done in time for a holiday release since you decided to right a book with a very specific time frame to generate interest (late nov to Christmas) because no publisher would put this out in the spring or summer.

Due to his twitter addiction / alcoholism / severe mental illness his writing as obviously suffered severely as it’s taken him 2-3 years to write something that most authors would do as a side project. It’s a tiny Tim as an adult but every character will sound like Pat and be nothing but snark.

It really should have just been a fun short story for the holidays. Not a full blown novel he is banking his livelihood on.

thats' a 33 months old tweet, he can't stop lying.

That’s the other issue. It won’t be light-hearted and it won’t be a short breezy read.

It’s peak Pat Autism. He fundamentally misunderstands the entire appeal of the concept.

 

[Toothless Enthusiast]

Another great example of Pat being 10 years behind on a trend. I’m surprised he hasn’t thrown zombies into this mess - they were all the rage in 2013!

Lol, the Abraham Lincoln book was published in 2010 so he’s missed the trend by 13 years. At least he is somewhat transparent about the plagiarism which is out of character for him.

I have a feeling he might have ditched and rewrote out that cockney we saw in an earlier screenshot. People here were roasting him over it and I think he ( if he has tiny amount of self awareness) got the hint and might have abandoned that idea. I really hope he kept it in and filled the whole book with it. It must be exhausting trying to fake an accent/lingo from another time and country. If he kept it in, it will be a slam dunk failure.

It would be genuinely painful to read if he did. Any editor would tell him that too, which is proof he’s totally on his own

 

[Torque’sHeadBump]

I’m genuinely curious how 22 months (more like 3.5 years) stacks up against how long some masterpieces in film and writing have taken. It seems like an awfully long time for something that won’t immedietly net him 6 figures

Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea in 6 weeks.

I cant wait for the fellow brits here to read it and dissect how poorly its written and what he got wrong. From terms that werent used at the time/ wrong context or from the wrong region. It will probably be borderline racist with the cliches he is going to try and cram in there.

I forget he said this - the two movies he’s comparing it to were box office bombs that have NOT even gained a cult following over the years. The Vampire / Zombie trend of the early 2010s turned out to be something most people would thought was funny they would want to see then once it actually came out had no interest.

He might as well try pitching an idea and comparing it to Gilgi

"You plagiarized a book that was never published/finished before mine!"

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

Due to his autism and “I know everything” he would spend all his energy on useless details so you know it’s a period piece and are constantly reminded it’s a period piece while the characters do nothing interesting because he’s focused on stupid details. He will beat the reader over the head with “THIS IS SET IN OLD TIME ENGLAND!!!!!”

How can you plagiarize a work that hasn’t come out yet? Movies have done this for years trying to get their similar story movie before another one comes out or trying to release a similar movie before a popular trends sequel (Cannon films was known for this putting out multiple Indiana Jones inspired films etc)

It is going to be excruciating, like I don’t know why there is a Brexit joke included in a book with historically accurate use of sugar?

[Treat Yourself]

Hey Rick, I don't think the market for shitty Tiny Tim fan faction is very big. You might want to go back in time three years and get a better idea. Better yet, finish your pamphlet you're calling a book and embarrass yourself in front of the world or more realistically just us. Nobody will buy it and the only readers will pirate it. Have another beer. I hope your heart gives out just as you're about to press the period key the final time. Fat

It took him 20mins to see if sugar cubes existed at the time of his book? Its a pretty quick fact check. I think he didnt want to write so he even after he knew they werent relevant he just got distracted and spent 20min reading about something he will never even use. All because he wanted to say " One lump or two?" in his book.

 

[JoeBrotheChildSpitGuzzler]

Figuring out the antagonist of the novel 2 years into it? I’m sure the preceding 200 pages are a masterpiece when the author didn’t even know the character he was writing.

This project ALMOST makes me feel pity for him. This will be such a humiliation when he finishes. No one will publish it, so he’ll blame the trolls. Then maybe we will get self-published Amazon Pat finally, and he’ll sell perhaps 30 copies total and we will have definitive proof that the author LARP is over.
