I am, actually, and I've been working diligently on it.

I have written chapter one and posted it before, but upon further writing and contemplating decided that not only is that not chapter one, that's nothing like the actual storyline of the book. So it's changed quite a bit.

If anyone's wondering, it's about the Machine, and it'll take me up to a year or more to finish. It will be longer, more traditional, and literary than my first book.

Peace and love,

NG

Anything like Pink Floyd's take on the Machine?

Take Pink Floyd, 1984, and myself and fuse it all together.

Im only onto Chapter 9 and am simply amazed. These chapters are more than chapters, they could all be developed into books themselves.

Ive already been influenced to become more mature and helping and maybe, in a sense, influential, around the forum and around my community. The first chapter, more than any so far, has made me want to help people. I now wish I was more experienced with not only help, but with difficult situations. I have come to idolize Jim's *facade* as NG and want to become more like him. I love the part of Jim talking to Come on Cleetus and seem to relate to that part the most, wondering if I am my facade or if my facade is me. I hope I can change m image or face into something that appeals to my own individual clique.

The ways that Jim has put out his ideas and thoughts are also amazing. I am not a big fan of reading things as most of the time, the only thing I read is something that school forces me to. Im hooked on this and will most likey read it more than I will read any books in the past, mainly to remember the lessons or ideas.

The quote that has appealed to me the most so far is as follows:

"Maybe the problem is that we assume there is a right and wrong..."

I cant write in words how much I love this book right now. This is definitely not going to be a book I just put on my shelf or throw away, not at all.

I cannot wait to finish the book tonight and edit this post. If I see you on Thursday Jim, Im definitely finding a way to thank you for writing this. Maybe ill let you beat me in a 1v1

Really enjoyed the book, and that last chapter was amazing, and how it just changed everyones perspective on life.

Overall it was amazing, and it had many key points that i had to ponder about and re-read because i didn't understand them the first time, lol. I will most definitely read it again when the time comes.
