I thought more about it, and I think you should consider developing this character much more, and make it into a full book. All of what you laid out here is highly, highly plausible. And I think you should by all means keep the main character as you have, i.e., a liberal who’d really gone all-in for Obama and his whole agenda. Maybe not stupid, per se, but....well, you know better than me. Anyway if you sell this thang I’m DEFINITELY going to buy it. It would later be been as prescient. Fo sho! Maybe under a pseudonym? This stuff is gold.

Thanks.

An aside to Matt: Yes, it may be awfully late in the game for a novel, but... if things work out better than we expect, maybe I should develop a character, a moderate-liberal who gets educated. Liberals might be able to relate better, they might continue reading where they wouldn't if the character was conservative.

You definitely need to develop this further.
I am looking forward to installment two.
Yes the idea of a typical liberal discovering
what he has brought about would be an effective
way to educate someone.
Keep up the good work.
Obamites in the wire!

I agree. For one, as you said, maybe some liberals would relate more, and find that it is OKAY to in mid life find they've been wrong all along - to admit it, and to join the right side! (Instead of sticking to it from sheer pride and stubbornness). That is not "giving in", it's finding sanity!.... Also, just to see that progression in thought (from rainbow and pixie dust liberal to reality) is very hopeful to me, that maybe there is a small but significant number of moderate liberals who might "see the light" when all of this horribleness smacks them in the face. Maybe it will be too late, but maybe not. Stories and books like yours and Matt's have changed the heart of a nation before now. People need to be shaken out of their sports and reality TV coma....

Laz, am going to agree with others here. You are on to something important. I too encourage you to develop the character of Part 1. I too am looking forward to Part 2! Sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword.

Personally, I’d go the .99 cent serial Kindle route. Check out the writer’s café on kindleboardsdotcom to stay up with the latest strategies.

Make it the first part of a 20 (or greater) part serial. Then link it together into a book.
