My New Year resolution for 2024 is to continue writing the book I started a few years ago. One page per year has brought me to page 14, starting from 2009. The title is "Page By Page, As The Years Go By."
Page 1 serves as the introduction, and here is a brief excerpt from the full page, albeit unedited and not verbatim. I'm recounting from memory, as I've lost the original over the years.
The story is a slow-moving tale of dedication, promises, resolve, and enduring commitment for years to come. The plot intertwines fiction and reality, ultimately revealing a revealing reality. However, it's an unusual story because it's based on the illusion of fiction. In other words, it's a true story but concealed in fiction filled with intentional misrepresentations. These misrepresentations may seem apparent, but they are not truly apparent, as the apparent symbolism is intentionally misleading. The reader will encounter dimensional approximations that must be rounded to the nearest whole number, and then, once rounded, used on a different scale and standard. The scale and standard are needed to solve the hidden plot, which are just parts of the main key. Once all parts of the key are found and assembled, like a picture puzzle once fully completed, the full reality will be revealed, with all its strangeness and fiction parts stripped away.
@pettytalk saidAnd you expect this to happen, when? 🙂

@ghost-of-a-duke saidDon't be so modest. You certainly had me scared when we first met, virtually met, of course. Your writing, initially, made me wonder if I should call for the services of an exorcist. Because you possessed my attention, and intrigued my imagination with your impromptu creative writing skills.
I'm not much of a horror writer.
Now that I have learned that you work in the mental health field, in retrospect, I believe you were only psyching me out, an intentional distraction by you to make me paranoid on the chess board. Where, distraught with delusion, I imagined you to be a grandmaster in chess, thereby scaring me half to death. But where, in fact, you are a grandmaster with words. Albeit, just a good chess player, but still better than me, even without the paranoia you awoke in me.
I think that paranoia is inherent in all who are capable of reasoning. It just needs to come out, to see it.
People who act only instinctively, like the lower animals, don't suffer from paranoia, nor delusions. Unless they come down with a high fever, when they delude themselves with high thoughts of grandiosity, worthy and becoming of gods.
@pettytalk saidCrawler, and don't bring up mental health.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThanks Ghost. Not quite the finished article but you get the gist.
I like it!

@filthyherman saidHerman, why don't you first write down a plan on the moves you intend to make on our two games of chess we are currently playing? In exchange I'll give you some hints on goat dancing, since my great grandfather was a shepherd, and had both sheep and goats; more goats than sheep. Before he passed on, he told me some interesting stories on how the animals can be made to dance. Although I was only around five when he passed, I still recall a few details from my childhood.
I would write book on goat dancing.

Very good for making thirst 😉
@pettytalk saidSure it wasn't "slow it down there, Dostoevsky"?
In the year 2525, if man is still alive, I'll take it to a publishing house. It will be 516 pages, give or take a year. The publisher told me to take my time, after he read the 5 pages I had written at that time.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidNot mine either, but it's easier to take when mixed with comedy.
I meant really that horror wasn't my genre.
