YOUR LIFE SUCKS, WHY NOT TRY TO BECOME A CHARACTER IN MR. TYREE’S NOVEL
yo yo yo. this was recently brought to my attention. nate tyree, author of the book “BLOOD MERIDIAN” i think it is, is auctioning off the opportunity to be a character in his next novel. you can bid on ebay. go here for the information. apparently, the book is guaranteed to be published in a year. fancy fuckin that. i hope that guy who played “al borlen” on “tool time” wins.

Good luck, Nate, seems like a cool idea. If my home equity loan wasn’t ass rapaging me, I’d put in for something like this.

Surely ebay would file a lawsuit if you called it that, and if you called it that people might be expecting a non-fiction book or a novel entirely about ebay.
Anyway I keep seeing the price slowly going up, so well done on that.
I would think you have a good chance of getting it published by a publisher.
Have you got any interest from indie publishers yet?

not a bit of it. Any indie publishers reading this should email me
it’s be cool if it were called, “too many eyeball stitches to even count”
