I really need to put together a logo for this book. I had an idea for one once, but it turned out to be a crappy freehand of ‘Hank the Cowdog’, which was of course a series of books revolving around the life of a certain mutt which I enjoyed as a youth. Besides, there is an utter lack of dogs in the book, at least so far, so it would not have worked.
Regardless, I promised that I would actually do something new with my attempt at a book, and here it comes, right here, -in the blog- as it were. You don’t even have to get up. Well, go get up now, get a beer, it’ll help you to get through the tasteless humor.
A bit of a backstory: So there I was, kicked out of school, back at home, life lacking any kind of direction. I was working as a diesel mechanic assistant, spending an unholy amount of time in the garage (when not at work, that is, I guess I was in something like a garage when I was at work, now that I think about it), which also had far too many computers in it. As such, this idea of a story kind of fermented in my brain, and I had to sit down and get it out else it took over the whole thing and drove me insane. I put out 10 chapters, quite the feat I felt, over the course of about a year or so. Then it just sat there. Rusting.
I’ve recently started reading some other things lately, such as John Dies at the End, which is just dark and dry enough to make me giggle. I’ve been pushing it onto most of my friends as of late, quoting little bits of it, but I don’t know if I have been successful in pushing off some of my dementia on others just yet.
How does this connect? I don’t know. Just reading this, I remembered my story, and seeing as I have this blog thing, it felt like maybe it would be a reachable goal to polish and release some new material on my book and see where it goes. Who knows. Not like anyone reads this thing as it is, right?
Anyway. Watch for the story here. It’s coming. I’m cleaning up the first chapter now and trying to get a coherent plot going, but the plot keeps breaking down in tears and I have to bribe it with hard liquor and drugs to get to come back and talk to me.
