It's November in UK and I'm still going barefoot. Very cold! I'm hoping to acclimatize my feet to the weather. There was an American who lived in the 1930's (if I remember rightly) and he went barefoot all year round. Not sure if I can match up to his stoicism.

Piece of shit gamebook
I’m writing a piece of shit gamebook
That fuckin pile of shit
never gets me off the hook
My gamebook’s a big piece of shit
Just open the shitty PDF and take a look
Don’t got a real job doing this
I do it for free because I’m a desperate douche canoe
What a piece of shit
References and paragraphs always getting jumbled
‘Cause my math is fucking bumbled
And I forget about balancing luck and skill scores
That players say “What the fuck is this for?”
What a piece of shit

Piece of shit gamebook
Piece of shit gamebook
I’m writing a piece of shit gamebook

It sucks royal dick!
What a fucking pile of shit

It’s not fucking City of Thieves!
The worse thing you’ll ever read

Oh, fuck you book

My bosses are all crap, you can beat em with three rolls
I stole from Ian again yeah all my ideas are not my own
Steve can bite my ass too
Maybe one day I’ll be successful when I’m senile and old
My plots are weak and droll
Gamers give me bad reviews saying I’m an asshole
And you fuckin piece of shit

Piece of shit gamebook
I write piece of shit gamebooks
Yep, I got a hundred of piece of shit gamebooks

No publisher will ever adopt me
One look at my work and they think what a fuckin pile of shit
Yeah I have to agree too
Jesus, try to think of something new

Oh what the fuck did I do
What the fuck did I do
What the fuck did I do
To get stuck with you

This hobby fuckin stinks
It makes me wanna drink
Stamina, 2d6, mapping, is all that I do in sync

Oh, fuck me……

I’ll never get out of the amateur writer’s guild
I’m too poor to self-publish, too much fuckin text because I can’t find a good illustrator
I get lost in my own world, can’t remember where I hid the fuckin elixir,I always get myself killed
Don’t have real fans only hardcore gamebook fanatics who judge me and then there’s the haters

(Ouch, ouch, ouch)

I’ve had big dreams of becoming a legend
But instead my hopes were squashed and I became dead

What a pain in my ass

All I do now is write for shock value
Hoping to piss somebody off
In the end I’ll end up getting sued
It’s fucking true

Piece of shit gamebook
You piece of shit gamebook
I got a piece of shit gamebook
You piece of shit gamebook
Piece of shit gamebook
Always getting me in troubles!

You piece of shit gamebook
Forgot to link up refs properly

Piece of shit gamebook
Too many typos and missing numbers

Piece of shit gamebook
The background bores the hell out of readers

Piece of shit gamebook
Half the book is not even completed

I got a piece of shit gamebook
Piece of shit gamebook
I got a piece of shit gamebook
Piece of shit gamebook
Fuck you Turn to 400!

I gotta piece of shit gamebook
Oh, everyone thinks I’m a loser
Because of my piece of shit gamebook

@Tammy:

Try not to suffer from tunnel vision. everybody on this forum have similar issues (I think). Personally, I have an academic paper that's stuck in limbo after being rejected by multiple journals, and I really need to get it published...

Peter F Hamilton's alien cultures are widely diverse - including post-physical beings. One interesting fact, however:

We ain't wallflowers, and poor people, or not: We are neither lackeys, nor any less talented artists or creative minds just by our income.

One year ago I still shared my own fiction cost-free. Now the first versions are for sale, with layout and cover at least partially made by my own hands and efforts.

We grow in competences and we keep our hobby alive because we care.

I dislike being a "preacher on it", but for those who need or crave the experience; IF you don't shun the work, then get your self-written solo adventure into sales.

Example: drivethruRPG & the vault affiliates allowed me, like anybody else on the planet, to participate and earn money by complying to law & license. And they are pretty fair on it.

Now that does not necessarily mean you an just paste your FF work, but rewriting it, as solo-adventure (rarely called CYOA aka choose your own adventure) outside of the stand-alone books, but you could rewrite it using the rulebook an system from one of the roleplaying companies granting permissions.

Visit my link, under the small picture use the quick preview, and then tell me you couldn't do that bit of layout and format, too? You can, and many of you can do even better. So contemplate, if it could help funding you, or your appreciated free FF works staying alive.

Damn, I wrote before my first coffee, it is lengthy... Sorry.

@Tammy:
Thanks! I will - someday!

@Robert:
I don't have my copy of Rebel Planet on me right now, so I'm afraid I can't check. Sorry!
I might be reunited with it early next year though...

Next year is a long time away though. I might be dead by then. Somebody post a solution now.

Just a brief update on my work on the From The Shadows adventure, it is turn based only and far from perfectly readable (as i would like) but will try to have time to implement the section events in a few days

Clearly I remember Ms Tam's recent poem about writing a gamebook. I feel the same, this superhero mission in New Day Rising sucks balls.

So there is an article in Ryan's Gig Guide about the numerous times Diamond Head have been invited on stage with Metallica. There was a comment about how if there wasn't a Diamond Head there wouldn't be a Metallica. And how if there wasn't a Metallica there wouldn't be a Diamond Head second career phase.
