I've written a book, ask me a question

How many pages, first draft?

A book about what, sucking dick?

Brief ! Really ? Dude .

What is the book about ?

why do you think GLP is r*dd*t

haha mate !

I haven't counted, but sections have hundreds of pages.

as a matter of fact, that's in there too.

What's it about?

congrats.

send it out to as many editors as you can.

See, I knew it! I bet it's a fine read.

You answer everyone's question but mine. Even briefs ! Lol. Meanie

a possibly fictional and yet totally really quite real story of a life.

maybe even mine. I have to edit it first to see.

it's roughly chronological but not really.

every good story has lessons in it and a satisfying if not happy ending..

and mine is a good one. not very organized yet, but all there.

Cool. See it though to completion and don't listen to the haters

see the hard part isn't the writing, isn't what to write about..

it's all in the what to leave out to get to the meat of the story..or what not to season it with to not overwhelm what the story is..
and in all the searching for the way to find that novel.

somehow I ended up living one.

and the funny part is, while some the worse for wear, I am still here..somewhat..to tell the story.

yeah it's time to start printing ..to see it to run the pencil lines through and restructure some sentences..

and let the words if not flow and glide along seamelessly..

then at least find a way to craft with the sentence

what was inside me all along.

me.

It's called projection.

Hello, I have read everything here so far and I see you have written a book. But you are still writing said book? This thread was obviously destined to meet GLP eventually. Time travel at its finest.

the leaves fall as seconds with each breath

right now the process is continuing in words I still write, but to me more important is the going over what has already been done at this point. To edit and not falter and to let the emotions take me without carrying me any further than the pen to the paper or the fingers flying on the keyboard..

and if the tears fall to let them fall and not distract me.

and let the tears be healing ones.

and I am not done yet.

so I don't know where to end the story. but I will know when done editing my words already written when it is time to send it out.

Every good book has a dick sucking scene, and then you swallow.

Good Luck OP! Just maybe we'll see it in print at the beach one day..
Got a GF that's finished hers and she has been stalling out for months with self doubt etc. I tell her to just let go for Gods Sake.. Analysis paralysis

In Brief's world that's just before you get squished.

only if they scrape with their teeth...no toothy blow jobs!

there will be lots of rebellion against authority in my book. There will be fights, yelling, arguing, tears, and dramatic walk outs. There will be tantrums and hysterics and also outbursts of emotion.

and that's just the teen years..

and in a way, they never ended..because I come back to the events when I was a teen, and the parts that events played in the rest of my life.

maybe because I couldn't let them go..

I hadn't learned from them yet.

maybe because it's where my memories start..as a pre teen really.

everything before that?

well, that's the interesting part, I guess.

the part that would be perhaps not like most..

and if it's in somewhat chronological order, the ironic part is I found out about that "last" in a way..and it's something I am still doing.

in flashbacks, mostly.

Good job. It's a tough business getting a book together.

yeah..parents who trust 'the system' to do what is right..

that's in my story too. that part isn't pretty.

Sounds very interesting. would definitely like to read it.

Oh I see -aks me a question -

ok then

why the f**k did I not notice 1x(?) = *that*
way, way back

I can guess the answer but I would probably go easy on myself

the hardest lesson I've ever learned is how to take is easy on myself. It's such a hard lesson it's one I am still not good at, and need constant and conscious practice at it.

Just taking it easy.

because life itself has been pretty fucking hard.

worth it so far. but hard.


should it start out like "it was a dark and stormy night"? Or should it simply start with the date, the earliest one I started writing down, the earliest ones I remember, or the images, or the smels, or the sounds?

or when I knew for sure that the memories were real and mine? but then when that would begin..

oh I know..I begin at the beginning.

with me.

just being here, a survivor, taking it easy on myself.

cus like that meme goes, I've seen some weird shit. and I'm putting the pieces together into something cohesive enough to be called something..

well that's where the hard work really lies. :)

but at least I've written it.

now I just need to sift through and winnow it all out. Into something cohesive..leaving the extamperaneous bits by the wayside...except there is one problem with that.

those bits make up who I am..the "besides the point" and meandering rambling getting to it but never there..

well that's who I am.

but there's a reason for it..

the reason is my life..and the reason is not an excuse, not a justification, not a retionalization.

but it is a REASON WHY I AM THE WAY I AM.

and of course it's fiction to some. Because it's MY reality.

So what?
