Don't leave a voicemail, seriously.

So I finally just gave up and admitted to myself that this theme I've been turning over in my mind since I was a kid is the backstory to my first super ambitious attempt at literary fiction. I am of the mind that everyone has one book in them, and this was always mine, I think, I just refused to admit it for a long time. Mostly because it's my own story I tell myself and think about, and I never wanted to really share it. What if everyone thought it was boring? What if someone STOLE it and put their name on it? This particular story is mine and I don't want anyone claim staking on it or ruining it.

I have now admitted I have to tell this story, I don't know if I will do it justice or make a whole crapfest out of it or what. I don't even know if I will be able to tell the story all the way through, but I'm going to try (finally).

I think I'm going to make a filter for this. Mostly because I'm paranoid as hell and I'm worried someone might rip me off. I know that's semi-irrational, and even more so when you find out what the premise is, but if you'd like to hear me talk about my book, I'm going to make a filter. Fill in the poll to let me know you're interested in my (really quite lame) posts about my book. I just ask that you also promise to not talk about, because I'm trusting you with my child, in essence. This is important to me, please accept my trust in the spirit it's being given.

Also, you'll be ruined for the reveal of the plot if you read these posts, if that matters to you.
