I am writing a book. But I'm not done yet.

So I'm going to post it episodically, on Poal, one chapter at a time, every Monday night. Kinda like they did back in the 1920's, with pulp serials.

I don't want any plot criticism, but I would actually really appreciate any help editing it with regard to the following: Grammer, concistentcy, tone, and whether or not it generally sucks.

I eventually intend to publish this piece of shit via Amazon. When that happens, I'd like it if you bought a copy, or at least told somebody about it. But you'll already have the full, unedited version of the book, for free, via Poal.

Some people here have already read portions of it. It's been a long project, and I hate writing. Writing is gay, but I'm ok at it sometimes.

Regardless, I'm going to upload the first portion tonight, second bit on Monday, and then every Monday after that until it is done.

It is very dark and whimsical. Don't judge me or ask me if I am ok. It's an amalgamation of truth and fiction. It isn't about my life, except for when it is.

I look forward to working with you.

Regards,

-Theo

You know what I'm talking about.

I think so. And will look at it and try my hand at editing, but that's not my strong point. I did tech writing in my career, but always had great editors keeping me from looking like a fool - LOL

That's awesome good luck, and looking forward to reading it.

I just started something new this week and I think I'm already over 12,000 words and it's still feeling good, one of those ideas that started as one thing but went in a completely different direction and keeps doing so. She's a wild mare, and I don't want to try to tame her.

I usually think it is best to just start writing, don't focus too much on where you want the story to go, unless you have a really dope ending.

Please post updates on the story, if you get a chance.

Unpaid labor, huzzah.

If I help, do I get to choose my own slave name?

Edit: And if I'm participating I expect to be allowed to wear a gimp suit to the office.
