I have been writing a few more pages of the story and got to thinking, I could make this a community project. That might make some people more interested in the story. So I have created a thread on the forum for discussion about this. Readers can discuss what various characters should do and even help in the creation of other characters that have not yet appeared.

By the way, last I checked we have have 4 clicks on the banner ad. I am thinking I might lower the number of clicks that I was wanting before I release the second chapter. For those of you who don’t know where the ad is, scroll down and you will see it on the left hand side of the page.

It’s been almost a month since my last post. A lot has happened since then. I’ve made some progress in my goals. I have lost ten pounds as of a couple weeks ago. I will weigh myself again in March to see how much more I’ve gone down. The other big event is that I have been unemployed all month. I have been looking for a new job. I had one interview and I have another one next week, so that’s progress. I also came up with a few ideas outside of the box, which is what this post is really about.
One of my hobbies (I’m not sure if its really a talent since I know that I’m not as good as I want to think I am) is writing. So I decided to try to do that to make some money. I starting toying around with an idea the other day and got a few pages of a new story done. This is still an early draft, but I figured why not post it.
Now here’s the deal, I will post chapter 1 here for you to read. Once I get 100 clicks on the banner ads, I will post chapter 2. When I get 100 more, I will post chapter 3 and so on. There is nothing saying the same person can’t click more than once.
At some point, I will probably go back and make revisions to the story. I will let you know as that happens so you can go back and see how much it has improved.
And here it is Chapter 1 of an as yet unnamed work
