Mystery project

I'm writing a sci fi book, and want to give you a paragraph of the first page.. I also need names for the character.

Jason had always wanted to go bungee jumping. He had also always wanted to study computer viri. Today, Jason learned that bungee jumping is a bit more frightening without the bungee cord. he also found that you do NOT want to put a virus on the heart of an enormous robot

Re: Mystery project

he also found that you do NOT want to put a virus on a gigantic CPU.

Size of the CPU really doesn't matter... most CPUs are the same size. Replace gigantic CPU with something else. Server? Computer?

Re: Mystery project

2nd person is my favorite.  Has a better effect of putting you in the story.

Re: Mystery project

There's not too much you can do with 2nd person tho... It makes you feel like you have memory loss.

Re: Mystery project

Ratburntro44 doesn't like people referring to themselves in third person or pronouns. He does like hypocrisy, however.

Re: Mystery project

I'm disappointed in Ratburntro44 for using first person from someone else's point of view.
