Lets see some balls

well, as long as I can write,.... I have had this idea about wrting a novel. I actually wrote a chapter, and then lost track of it, I know Mehrnoosh has some of it, but I can not find my own copy, to some extent it's all Cyrus's fault, If he had persued me sooner to build this site......... well, It is a stroy about a writer, a married writer, who has had a huge Bestseller, in a book called MILTON and BERNARD, I am not sure about the names either, any way, his name is also Milton, the writer I mean, are you with me so far. Any way since that book was published, he has been in a rott, like a writer's block, and has not been able to write anything. His Problem is Bernard, the character in his last book, has become a ghost to him and does not leave him alone. Milton actually sees Bernard, talks to him, and hears him back. Bernard is not happy about what happened to him in the last book, and is trying to get Milton to somehow change everything. The balk of the book would be how these two characters deal with each other, how Milton lives his life, and deals with his demons, and also through their conversation, we get to know what the other book was all about. all the other characters come to view, and in a way this becomes the last BOOK, Confusing enough, at least is easier than Cyrus's puzzle. Anyway we get to know Milton, Bernard, their story, and the evryday living of Milton with his wife, and his friends. The idea has been amazingly charming to me( well beating my own drum). It allows me to bring many ghosts back, and deal with all the issues that haunt an evryday CONTEMPORARY MAN in his life. I was not happy with the direction of the first draft, it became a bit more scandalous that i wanted it to be. This time around I am going to keep it more simple, and do not thread outside of the boundries I will set. And I am thinking that maybe, I will share the whole process with you. This would force me to actually finish the book, since I will be watched by you guys, and it might be interesting for you to witness the whole process. you would get to make comments, and we will discuss it through these pages, I know Cyrus is scratching his head, saying to himself," what did I get myself into", but please bare with me, it will be a slow, but a nobel idea, worth the effort. So, come on, come on, dont be shy tell me what you think. You will get to see me sweat through these pages and I will be motivated to work harder on it. It would be a BIG adventure, and a big undertaking for me, I usually finish what I start, now I am getting apprehensive about this myself, but I get to write here anyway, and you guys are interested enough to show up, so we might as well WRITE A BOOK together. The main character will be definitely mostly based on ME, or will have some of my traits incorporated in him, but for the sake of my marriage, and sanity of my beautifull Marjan lets decide that I will take a lot of fictional Liberties with him. so, any volountiers, any suggestions, does it sound interesting to you. help me out here, remember at the begining of these pages, I promised you variety, and also promised to take your breath away with my flights of Fancy. so help me out. And of course we get Cyrus and Fereydoon to proof read, for my spellings and grammer. remember I am putting a lot on the table, show some Balls, (not you Maryam, we are aware of your balls), the rest of you, are you with me ?
