give us something real

We don’t care for the polished, the post-productioned, the copy-edited and the filter that took a decade off your face.

Show us the nitty gritty.

—

For years, yes, actual years (I know you probably won’t believe me) I’ve struggled publishing a book that will be my magnum opus.
I did not write it under this name, so I probably should not even tell you this because it’s secretive, not transparent, and then the status of what you should be doing with this information becomes unclear as well.
The point, Rock Star.
The point!

You, reading advice from someone telling only half a story?
That’s the kind of messy not-fitted-for-your-brand randomness we’re craving to see from you.

As I was saying, for years now, I’m struggling with this book.
And it’s tempting to suggest it’s the psychological weight of it, because it’s about a man who broke up with me years ago.
But No!
I’m simply really bad at copy editing, and at getting big projects like this done.

I don’t have a mold for it, and it took me a decade after I started writing, before I had my first book in print.

And nothing changed as I’m still terribly slow and I have dropped this project so often I could cry if I think about all the lost time.
It’s probably even barricading my love life to have this unfinished manuscript blocking anything that wants to come in.

But want to know my biggest mistake?
This whole idea of copy-editing, this slow as a snail process I am making myself go through.

Embarrassed, every time I find errors.
And I find a lot.
And I find them again when after 3 years I look at the first chapter which has already been edited six times prior.

It’s like pulling teeth!!!
PERFECTLY GOOD TEETH

Because that creepy sketch you drew drunk in the middle of the night?

That photo you took, when your lens broke down because it had sand in it?

The diary with all the random entries?

Give. It. To. Us.
