I need your help

It’s about my book

I have a mission for you: tell two people about this.

I’ve just finished the first draft of the best book I’ve written to date. I’m vibrating, I’m so excited. It’s ALMOST the kind of story I’d like to tell. I have more practicing to do if I want to write the book I properly want to write. It’s coming. This one ain’t far off.

The book’s written, but that’s sort of like getting your black belt in karate: it’s the beginning of the real work.

The real work will take a village. You brave operators are the seed crystal of the Ragged Village. Our tribe starts here.

So read this chapter. If you like it, tell your friends about it. If you can vouch for them, you can share the link to the chapter with your friends too. I release you to your own recognizance in that area.

Recognizance is my favorite word at the moment. I intend to subtly misuse it as often as possible for the next week or so.

That’s a powerful force of change, telling two friends. Anytime you find something that excites you, if you tell two people about it, and encourage them to tell two people, well, that’s how stuff goes crazy. That’s how trees get so big: the idea is so good it needs to split in two. Then those two split in two, until the thing’s gone crazy. Ideas spread in fractals.

Cool things are coming. I had a busy writing year, and if all goes well I’ll have a busy couple of years of publishing.

I need your help to get there.

Follow this if you want to read the chapter…
