PUBLISHING MY 'ORANGE FEVER' NOVEL ONLINE

OK. So, last year I wrote a book. A fictionalisation of the crazy boom that happened around 1999/2000. I wrote 85,000 words. Sent out ten dozen letters from agents and got zero positive response. I sat on the book, went on to write two screenplays - learned more about the art of story writing - and now a year later I have tried to get back into rewriting the novel.

The problem is that I have little incentive / impetus to actually do something with the darn thing: 'I'm never going to get it published,' I mumbled to myself as I looked at my yellowing screenplays on top of the Lady's fridge.

Then I started to analyze why I wrote and I thought, I don't do this for money (altho income would be nice), nor fame (altho recognition would be nice). I really to express myself to people. How can I get on and rewrite the fiction: well I could promise to publish a chapter every 2 weeks on a blog....

That worried me. Then I thought. What the heck. So what I am saying is, that I am announcing the publication of my first chapter of Orange Fever! It's not a long one - take a look here.

What's it about?

A British boy meets American girl and they try to stay afloat together as they ride the tech boom wave.

Hmmm... doesn't sound too intriguing... must work on that line.
