I have updated my web site further. Don't know if you have been paying attention to it Kizzume, but it actually is something I invest a lot more time in than my message board. My story is almost complete. I may get it done next week and self-publish it. I will probably be asking you for your help on creating PDF if you know how to do that.
ANyway check it out, and please give me feedback on what you think of the new additions to my site.

It looks like things are really starting to come together.

I've never seen a project like this one--I don't know how to judge it. The concept is very new to me. I wish I knew how to judge it. I don't know what kind of advice to offer. |

It looks like it will be humorous, but there isn't enough to go by yet on the site for me to really sink my teeth into something significant. I think there should be excepts from the book in there--the info given on the site, to me, is very general, too general if one is really trying to get to the meat and potatoes of the style of writing of the book. If there are specific things you were wondering about, I could probably answer those questions better than a generalized "how do I feel" kind of thing. I know how works in progress are, and I've had so many songs take 20 times longer that normal to both complete the writing of and to complete the recording of, so I know the frustration of things taking longer than I want. I'm sorry to be someone to add to something that's probably a big list of things that have been slowing down the project. Another problem is--I don't read novels much. I do most of my reading on the internet, and most of what I read is non-fiction and politics and opinions. I wish I could have been more help. But again, if you have more specific questions, I can probably help you there. |

The "beer approval" section needs to be centered horizontally like the rest of the pages....

Yeah the thing is I don't know that much about web design, so its sort of just "screw around with it and hope for the best." Anyway, I added a fairly comprehensive description of the book just now (which I may edit or change, I literally JUST wrote it out off the top of my head) and placed it in the book info page. Haven't decided if it looks right how I have it on there or not. As far as the beer page not being centered, I have no idea why it is like that. Nothing on my web design software shows any idication of it being different in design, but somehow for some reason it seems to BE different anyway. So I will fix it if I can figure out why it is doing that, but honestly, I have no idea why it is doing that!

I also have more to add to the photoblog, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I am in the process of editing one of my pictures for it right now though  |

I could still be a lot more specific-- I don't name what "King Jesse's" peculiar hobbies are, just because it is a short book and I don't want to ruin some of the surprises. Also, it still doesn't fully illustrate just how bizzare things are throughout the book-- but in a way, I don't want to get too far into specifics because I'd like for it to have some surprise elements. I feel like if I tell too much about the story, (which as I said is fairly short,) there won't be any reason to read it. But I think it was definitely a good idea to give a little more of a description, and I THINK my description makes it sound like something worth reading....

Good to know! lol, hey based on what you have read on the web site so far, would "Stephano's Market" be a place you'd shop at? What about work for?

Well, if it was the ONLY place I COULD shop, I'd have to. If not, no. I don't think I'd like to work for them either, again, unless I had to.
