    lol good idea! or u could what one guy does in my suburb - stand outside the local markets selling a box full of his stories that he's printed out and stapled together himself.

    tho his stories aren't very well written i must say. im sure yours are infinitely better. :) have u posted any on this forum? im a newby on the Writer's. havent read much in the way of threads here as yet.

    I will post it once I've typed what I've got up.

    I posted the first chapter and I've written about a quarter of the finished piece but little of it is in order. I just write the bit that is in my head at the time, not what comes next so I've got a lot of work ahead of me typing it up.

    Blessings

    Hehe, I'd stand at a downtown street corner with a tilted courderoy hat & shout my tales to the passing traffic.

    I once saw this really boring Norwegian film called "Elling." It was funny in a slow kind of way. One of the main characters was an aspiring underground poet and put his poems in some kind of box (norwegian cereal?).

    hehehehehe :)

    i like the cereal idea. it could just work....

    or you could annoy the local newspapers/magazines and get them to print some of your work? start small.... :) maybe put it in THEIR cereal boxes, morning papers or whatever :)

    Get ready to stuff cereal, then. Most writers don't get published, and even good ones get passed up.
