you guys are still geniuses

okay!

jordan made me see the light, i could have started this up from work already

jordan, marie, katrinfrink, you should all have two emails from me. one inviting you to edit the actual stories, and a second inviting you to edit a document i've called 'notes' where you can leave me messages and stuff. i can check this all from work.

i've got five stories up there, have at it. no deadlines or anything obviously, but let me know how what you think about the workload because there are a few other people who have offered to help out!

people who know things about websites, i will be in touch shortly once i'm sure this whole editing business is locked down.

thanks everybody. you're all getting credit for this.

alright, goddammit!

okay you dudes are geniuses

so 1. i need a website. a couple of you have offered to help. if you're still down that rules. just let me know what to do. also how much is this going to cost me?!

2. anyone want to help me edit time for some stories? basically i need names changed and mistakes fixed. i can offer you vast sums of non-existant money. if a book is made and it actually sells i will pay you a handsome sum comprising of whatever it is editors make plus enormous bonuses, the likes of which you've never seen. plus if this actually turns into a book you can suddenly say you're an editor and command respect or whatever. it would help if your grasp of the english language is somewhat tenable, because lord knows mine isn't

any takers?!!? i think there have to be about 30+ stories, although i might be wrong on that. maybe like 50 pages of material?! i actually don't know if there's even a book's worth of stuff.

arrr

school is starting back up so i'm going to be busy soon

question: what should i do with all the material i have floating around the internet? we have all the caps lock stories, then there's a bunch of material on china, there's maybe 30 pages of scanned typewritten stuff i wrote on various tours, i have a list of things said by this retarded assistant i hired a few years back, i have a whole chronicle of stuff regarding another colleague that might have to wait a few years before coming out, all the yardbrain stuff, a couple of short stories near completion that i've actually sunk some effort into, and then two short 100-page novels that are nearly done but will probably take another year or two to see the light of day because i'm busy with other stuff. oh, and comics. and a series of stupid dreams i've had.

put everything together in one compendium? peddle it around to publishers? there's a ton of editing and name-changing to be done. some dude once offered to make me a website and went ahead and registered davesecretary.com and then basically put up an image that says "COMING SOONG" or "COMMING SOOMG" or something but anyway he spelled 'SOON' wrong and i'm sure people think it's me

god dammit

this blog has received a lot of hits which is surprising since everyone gets redirected to websites owned by other people who have copies of my material up, but basically everything is scattered everywhere

basically i need a small team of people to make some decisions and tell me what to do and get things on track

that way i can feel assured that the writing aspect of my life is in good hands and focus more on music, soccer, architecture, rockclimbing, and girls

comments welcome

yardbrain # 6!!

yardbrain # 6!

this was hastily written

as a result, the dates are wrong in the bridge story. the hair dryer was invented in 1890, NOT 1980, and the next two dates listed should be reversed.

on the last page i wrote 'closely' instead of 'closing'

and i'm sure there's a billion other mistakes in there too. god dammit!!

okay, so it's 1928 and i'm living in the heart of africa. i've been searching for this enormous giant. it killed my parents when i was just a little kid, so i'm going to find it and fucking murder it.

anyway so finally i found the giant's footprints, and they led into the deepest part of the darkest forest. so i went into the woods, searching for the murderer, and then one night out of the shadows and out of the gloom came the giant!! and jesus christ it was the giant that killed my parents!! and he said to me, "look carefully, because the demon is in you". so i looked carefully, and i was staring into a pool.



i'm not sure where this project is going, but it's definitely keeping me up at night.

more to come very shortly.
