I and a friend decided that we were going to become famous. So, we asked ourselves: what's the easiest way to do this? Well, obviously, jumping into the wagon of the latest trend of pop culture. The latest trend of pop culture was, at the time, books about supernatural creatures dating high school girls. So, we made a decision to write the Magnum Opus of these trash books!
The book was to be called "Amaremoto", a play with the portuguese words "amar" (to love) and "maremoto" (tidal wave). Yes, you can already see how the book would be incredible from its title. To make things even more amazing, the lead character of the narrative would be a girl named Amara, adding even more meaningless meaning to the title. An english translation could be difficult, but maybe "Tidal Love" could do the job, with the character getting renamed to Tida or something.
The book's supernatural creature, the one with which Amara would fall in love, and that, through the powerful and deep writing of the book, would invade the imagination of high school girls around the world, was going to be a triton. A triton named Tristan (Oh, the meanings between the lines!!). Of course, since the paradigm of the latest trend we were adopting demanded the profanation of culturally accepted descriptions of mythical cultures, the handsome triton lover wouldn't be a fishman, he'd be just a normal guy (a very handsome normal guy, obviously - or should I say, an almost supernaturally handsome normal guy - hah, I bet none of these books have this description) that sparkles outside of the water (or something along those lines, I think having scales would be a bit too much for the average reader).
I wrote some paragraphs of the book, which almost made me want to puke while doing it (that probably means they were pretty good), but I stopped at that. Unfortunately, the project was abandoned and I returned to my banal life writing a boring book about irrelevant characters doing irrelevant stuff, not Amara and Tristan fighting with the power of the Tidal Love against the Atlantean Autocracy that was controlled by Tristan's evil brother, who had previously exiled him from Atlantis (which is located near the shores of Rio de Janeiro, mind you) and planned to destroy all land based life. I'm betting that the future will show me the mistakes of my chosen path. It's probably alreading showing - if I was a famous writer I would have money to pay people to lose Civ game they play against me!!
Ah, the choices we have to make in life...
