Excerpt
My self induced insomnia started when I was about thirteen years old. At the time, I had an old computer in my room that couldn't play games or music. It couldn't hook up to the internet or support any program loaded onto it. It was solely for playing solitaire and word processing. One day I had a great idea: I would write a novel. Right away, I realized that there would probably be problems with this idea. First off, usually any of my big ideas ended up badly. As in, it would end with me being frustrated, angry, and most likely without money. Other problems were that I had no idea how to write a novel, how much time and effort it would take, what I do with it when I finished, or why anyone would read it.
