No Outline. I have been trying the outline thing for years. I can never seem to get through it. But this story is definitely in need of some organization.

I was thinking that the doctor should hand mr blah blah the paper as a reason for allowing him an extended stay.

One of my problems is that I am at odds in my purpose. I would like to write to make some money, but satire of idiots, is fun, and comes so naturally to me.

Unfortunately, it is hard to sell anything so "wrongly" politically biased in this age of "reason".

So,essentially, I posted this, to guage the marketability - to see whether it was worth putting more effort into, or if my efforts would more productively be spent in other pursuits of the wonderful green paper.

Well, maybe so, maybe not.

Read the book called "Term Limits". It's a GREAT thriller read (IMHO) and about as politically incorrect as you can get. But it got published in the traditional sense and sold a ton of copies.

Such stories as that, or as the history of "Unintended Consequences" or even "Left Behind" (both of which are even more Un-PC) can give us all hope with respect to the ultimate marketability of our own works.

Right now, word of mouth is my best friend. Perhaps that will one day equate into larger sales...I'll leave that up to the Fellow upstairs and keep on writing. Got one and a half books to go on a five part series that will end up taking two and a half years to write. It's been a great experience, lots of work, lots of midnight oil, lots of frustration...but in the end very gratifying and fun.

Best of luck to you.
