I don’t know if you’d want it. It’s pretty specific about what it wants to write. But give me a couple of days to turn that rough into something readable I’ll sent you the first two chapters.

it’ll make you lol just because of what it is.

Well if I was kidnapping Jason's muse, I'd make it take a bath first. I don't know what I'd be in for with your muse.

My muse, is as pure as the fallen snow.  But it’s also kinda dark and a little mean. 
 

I’m not sure bath water much less holy water could cleanse Jason’s muse 😂

I can handle dark and a little mean.  Cause I'm a whole lot meaner.  And it seems like a fair price for getting down 10,000 words in a single day.  The most I've ever done was maybe 6--7,000.

But you get @Jeff Burton's muse, you have to fade to black instead of writing romsarasily.

I ended up rewriting damn near every word after I let someone read it.  I still don't know how I feel about it.  Maybe I should put out a call for people who want to beta read the latest creation of my crazy muse.

I'm at 16,000 as of Chapter 4 in case anyones counting.

I am perfectly capable of corrupting @Jeff Burton's muse.

Almost at 20 thousand.  Chapter 5 was really short, I’ll probably end up posting that one mid week and 6 in the regular slot.

I like that mid week solution to a chapter being very short, instead of adding things that work better in a separate chapter to it for the sake of length.

That was kinda my thought on it too, the short chapter did its job as far as the plot, had some funny moments at the end that went with the funny moments in the middle.  But it felt like a whole piece without feeling like it’s too short and making it longer would just ruin it.

I’m on chapter 6 now of the project I’ve labeled “what the hell am I even doing,” and I still don’t like chapters 1 through 3 despite rewriting them twice.

Chapters 4 - 6 thankfully don’t fully depend on them for exacting details if I do rewrite them.

i think I’m at 22k words and stuff now.

Considering the kinds of stories you've already posted, I'm intrigued, in a good way, by one you're describing as "what the hell am I even doing".

The “what the hell am I even doing,” is my attempt to totally ruin a literary dynasty.

So it’s either going to be great or I’ll never recover from it.

If people don't like that one story, which I doubt, we can point at the sign that says "promising author" as evidence of your skills.

Take a wrecking ball to it.  I dare you.
