Hello, this is my expansion and dissection of the 'Iceberg Theory' or 'theory of omission' of writing, commonly known as the 'Iceberg Method' or 'Iceberg Technique'. It was first developed by Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s. It's one of the foundations of creative writing -- fantasy, science fiction, or otherwise.

The Novel

10 parts Complete Mature

Plot: The plot focuses on an unnamed depressed apathetic writer experiencing writer's block. After the success of his critically acclaimed debut novel, The Novel, he runs out of ideas to write for another masterpiece. He goes on a journey, even having to do things he wouldn't normally do just for the sake of getting ideas, just to reclaim his lost creativity, and he also reflects his experiences in life and love. The novel is part satire, part philosophical, due to its existentialist blend inspired from the works of Camus, Sartre, Dostoyevsky, and Kafka with a mix of my trademarks鈥攕urreal and dark humor, violence, parody, satirical commentary, horror and shock value, depression, and nihilism. Genre: Transgressive Fiction, Absurdist Fiction R-Rated. For mature readers only. (as usual)
