for nanogenmo i wrote a small program that pulls texts from various sources and cuts them together. the way it does this is by generating a layout, with varying amounts of columns at each point, then filling these columns with the texts it pulled. for variety, it will also sometimes split lines in half, and put the second half before the first. it supports pulling from albums on genius, collections on archive.org, and crawling websites. to generate this particular novel, i had it pull from a couple of websites about chaos magick, albums by the cure, my bloody valentine, neutral milk hotel, and the library of congress collection on archive.org, among others. you can find the source and my generated novel here. to generate your own, simply modify the file config.py.
