Hoily and Anita.

I love music, I listen to music all the time and I play the guitar in a band with some of my

The Story of the Mobile Phone Novel

A few years ago, a 19-year-old Japanese girl started writing a novel about her
life in a small town. She finished it in just three weeks and gave it the title Dreams
Come True. Akiko wasn’t an experienced writer and didn’t expect anyone to be
interested in her tale. Yet when it came out a few months later, the romantic novel
was great success. It sold over 200,000 copies.

It’s an incredibly story. The most amazing thing about it, though, is the fact
that Akiko wrote the novel on her mobile phone! As she wrote, she posted it, chapter
by chapter, on a website where readers could download it immediately. She worked
on it whenever she could – mostly while she was relaxing at home. She didn’t think
too much about the story and she didn’t rewrite anything!

Akiko was one of the first of a new generation of novelists in Japan who write
novels as if they are writing a text message. They write in a simple, chatty style and
use a lots of abbreviations and ‘emoticons’. They know how to tell a good story, but
they don’t worry too much about grammar and spelling.

Some people were critical of mobile phone novels at first. They thought they
were a bad influence on teenage girls, who preferred them to ‘proper’ literature.
However, they are now popular with people of all ages. Many of the best-selling
paperback books in Japan were originally mobile phone novels!
