Well, it is done.
I might have a few commas in the wrong places, and I might have a few of the tense articles wrong, like saying 'here' when I should say 'there', or 'now' when I really mean 'then'. There are a couple of places my words get a little too flowery, and I need to simplify. I even have one chapter where I completely break with my narrative structure, to tell the tale from a different point of view.
Flaws and all though, it is done. It's taken me just under a year to complete, and I'm actually proud of what I accomplished.
I've gone back and forth over the story, adding and subtracting paragraphs, re-arranging thoughts, and even dumping things I thought were important, but really just slowed things down, or didn't matter. Sometimes removing those bits of the story were like performing self surgery. It was painful and messy, but I had to do it.
When I first started this thing, I didn't know where the story was headed. (I thought I did.) Its true destination only came to me about half way through writing it. Even as I wrote the last words, I was surprised. There were a few little things I had done with the story, and a few choices I had made along the way, that suddenly resolved. I didn't realize they needed resolving, until I wrote the resolution. My subconscious likes to mess with me.
I'm probably the only person who will find this story interesting. It is really not very different from a lot of offerings already on the Fiction Archive, some of which are written a lot better than this. I had a message I needed to share, though. Something I needed to say that could only be shared here on the EA. I can only hope that what I have is just interesting enough to entice a reader to read through until the end.
Even though it will be a long time before I can submit this to the Archive (I have to wait like everyone else.) I wanted to see if I could entice a reader or two to offer their time, and give it a read for me.
I also wanted to try and write a teaser for it, like you'd read on the cover jacket, were it ever to be published as a real book.
So here goes nothing;
If anyone out there is interested in giving it a read, send me a PM and I'll send you a copy. Let me know your email address, and what format you want it in. If you have a book reader that you can manually add books onto, I can even do that. (I just discovered how to convert files to e-readersJason Sidney is forced to look back on the story of his life, and find the one moment that truly defines him.
Is it his unconventional upbringing in an affluent home? Is he defined by the eccentric friends his parents associate with. Is it his struggle to fit in?
Jason examines a time in his life when he was ten (almost eleven) years old. A time when he began his quest to gain entrance to the forbidden and mysterious room in the basement. His quest will lead him to unusual and exotic people, truths about himself too difficult to face, and ultimately to the love of his life.
It is a quest of understanding, loss and finally redemption.
Join Jason Sidney on his journey of self discovery. Share his pain, his torment, and his rebirth. Follow along to the unbelievable conclusion, and perhaps you too can learn, How to Breathe

I may also send a few PMs to some folks I respect to not spare my feelings.
Thanks to everyone on the EA. I couldn't have finished this without you.
