yahoo! answer me.

i've been working on longer things for my mfa program lately, and i'm finally finished drafting the first three sections of the novella i'm starting. after reading that post on html giant where someone posted the first page of infinite jest asking for advice on the "first page of their book" and got hilarious, serious responses back, i decided to do the same thing. here's the best response so far:


for the record, no one even called me out on the fact that that in my sleep-deprived state i called it the first "chapter" instead of "page." the punctuation police like a short first chapter, i guess :)

hey! why don't you get in on the game and tell me how you really feel?
