Description

I ended up scraping bits of writers' biographies and gluing 'em together in a work of scrambled truths. The technique might not be very interesting, but some of these people sure were.

The code is [here](https://github.com/Beyamor/nanogenmo-2013/tree/master/the-lives-of-writers) and a sample novel is [here](https://gist.github.com/Beyamor/7427046).

Potential future work might include:
- Ensuring gender consistency in paragraphs.
- Filtering out uninteresting sentences (e.g., birthdays)
- Further cleaning the data (e.g., better removal of parenthetical notes)

Though, if you've got any input, I've love to hear it.

Start by reviewing the code in the linked the-lives-of-writers directory and comparing its output with the sample novel. The issue lists possible directions—gender consistency, filtering uninteresting sentences, and cleaning parenthetical notes—but does not select a task or define completion criteria.
