I just read "Firmly Disenchanted," again, and I think it will be one of my better stories after being edited.

It's basically about a Political Science student that instigates a social revolution in the United States of America.

Anyway, I think that the thing people really disliked about the story was the obtuse way it is told. It is an interesting story, but I had too much fun with the language.

You see, the main character's name is Firmly Proctor, and I personally find his name hilarious and love making puns with it. Other people don't find it so funny.

Honestly though, it amuses the shit out of me.

Anyway, this is me deciding to edit the Firmly story. It was originally called "Firmly Goes and Gets Some," which is an inside joke with a person I've never met. She's an author in the twin cities named Emily Carter who published a book titled "Glory Goes and Gets Some."

I think her writing is very, very good. Chick stuff, but still awesome. Pick it up if you waste your time watching soap operas, if you want to see some fucked up relationships and personal delimmas, without all the bad acting and commercials.

Oh, if you like that kind of stuff, I also recommend Jonathan Franzen. His characters are so flawed that you can't like any of them, but it's really fun watching them fuck each other over. Again and again.

So, this post is mostly a reminder to me to either continue the plot of Firmly Disenchanted, because the intro and the conclusion match, but the middle of the story, where everything happens, is much, much shorter than it needs to be for the story to make sense to a reader.

Also, editing the story would be good, because the language is like muddy poop in parts.

If you're interested in the story by reading this post, you can find it in the archives, I think it's got a title and everything, or I could just link it here.

It's about 22 pages double spaced. Email me if y0u require a word .doc and I will send it.
