Some of you might remember me talking about this a couple of months back in a note here, but I started writing a surrealist fiction book about Bitcoin some time last year.

A few months back, I ran into writer’s block after getting close to Chapter 6 (out of a potential 20+ chapters) and am still stuck there.

In order to force the issue and get myself out of that rut, starting tomorrow, I will post one chapter every week or two to my Ghost blog.

Stay tuned, I suspect you’ll enjoy it.

Nothing ChatGPT couldn’t help you unblock 🤣

Haha, I wasn’t planning on going there for this one

How about crowdsourcing ideas for the next 10 chapters and then decide how to continue? 😊

It’ll become obvious once you read the first few chapters what that’s impossible 😉

🤙😄

As promised, here’s Chapter 1

Just finished reading. I like your style 🤙

I do remember you said you were writing a book a few months ago, but you said “cringe” so much, I thought you were joking 🤣

Keep it up man, I need to know what happens to Oliver. Or should I wait for the movie?

Thanks for reading 🙏. Chapter 2 will drop in about 10 days. I think most people here will enjoy Oliver’s journey, but it will be a long and slow one

Have you already finished the whole book?

I wish 😂. I’m on the 6th chapter (needs 20+ for the fully story arc to play out). I have the broad plot fully figured out, but filling in the details has become tricky. Been stuck here since November

This story seems like it needs a solid 24 chapters. Probably 25 to sum everything up.

Are you going to post it all on your website? This might be a cool project to put on a long-form nostr client when you’re finished.

Yes, I was thinking about that. Maybe there will be a nostr client that’s suitable for publication by then

Long form is cool, but I would like to see a client with pages. Maybe you could swipe to go to the next chapter. Who knows, it’s all moving very fast.

It’s still cool that you can throw a chapter on a website, share it in a note, and we can zap your post. More friction than a client, but still far less friction than buying an e-book
