By Jove I think he's got it!

Well fuck me sideways with a splintered plank...actually don't...but you can congratulate me on the initial completion of Half Lived...chamone motherfucker, suit you, and a resounding cry of hey nonny nonny...I am rather excited.

I say that it is the initial completion because now I need to start to read the thing, edit it, farm it out to my trusty academic who so happens to be the love of my life, intellectual guru, scratching post, oh! and the heroine of the novel. Insofar as one considers there to be a hero and/or heroine Rose certainly fits the bill. From me to Rose to my trusty reader, Digger, back to me for the creative accounting - the adding and taking away - thence on to agents and publishers who will roundly reject the manuscript until someone has the vision and the cahones to take it on: that someone will be a person who gets it, who lives it, who knows, a believer, a disciple of Truman, of the best of good books, Half Lived.

M.I.M.O.
