I make no apology for yet another blatant display of self-publicity by Leggo Rocker.

Please read an opening snippet from my new novel and let me know if it's a waste of time, or if you'd like to read more.

If you ask for more, I'll post it!

Anyone had a read yet?

intense writing leggo! i enjoyed the snippet, will you post more?

Yes. I'm about 11 chapters into the book so I can keep this going for a while and hopefully the rest will get done as you catch up.

Even better, some publisher will notice it and pay me a handsome advance to finish it.

Or, like George Orwell and 1984, I'll finish it in my dying days and then it'll become a massive best seller when I am six foot under.

My book is of course, in case you hadn't realised, an update of Orwell's brilliantly dark novel.

The next snippet is now published.

Be sure to read the first part first!!!

George Orwell was a great writer, I admire his works - check out Coming Up For Air or Keep the Aspidistra Flying, great stuff.

Of course 1984 is a true masterpiece, I think I'll read what you wrote, Leggo...

Please do DOOP. And all of you, please give me feed back, good or bad!

Of course, I am no George Orwell, but he is one of my greatest inspirations and I also learned a lot of writing craft from him (not directly, sadly) but from some stuff I have seen quoted from him on how to write.

My intention is to publish this entire book online.

Hi Leggo,
