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. Akikowasn't an experience 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 a great success. It sold over 200,000 copies.
It's an incredible 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 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.
4
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!
