Q&A with Wild Barfing Bill
(True fact: if Bill does shots -- of any liquor -- he projectile-vomits. Cool!)


Q: WHAT THE FORK IS THIS PROJECT?
A: So far? Just a little experiment. I saw Meg do something similar: start a blog, try to use it. Make some stories.

Q: DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE ANYTHING PLANNED FOR THIS, YET?
A: Sort of. I'm working on it...

Q: SO, LYKE. WHAT'S THE DEAL, HOLMES?
A: I'm not really showing this around, yet. All there really is is a fancy template.

Q: SO, LYKE. YOU SUCK.
A: Yup.

Q: HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO DINK AROUND WITH THE TEMPLATE?
A: Probably too much; I want this to work out.

Q: WHAT'S THIS PROJECT REMIND YOU OF, SO FAR?
A: Jay was saying The Truman Show, Roger said Stranger Than Fiction. I'd have to agree with them. I've been thinking about all kinds of comparisons. Today [9/11/11], I was thinking about The Neverending Story. Later [9/28/11], I kept thinking about Death Note, somewhat. [5/25/12] At some point while stoned, I decided this also sounds like S. King writing a Seinfeld episode, if Seinfeld had an ep. about teen love.

Q: IT'S BEEN A WHILE, MOTHERFUCKER. WE'RE STUCK AT [X] CHAPTER. WRITE, FUCKER, WRITE!
A: Sorry. I work with a fickle muse.

Q: DID YOU EVER SETTLE ON A PLOT?
A: [9/28/11] Eventually, yes.


Q: I HEAR THAT YOU'RE ENTERING THIS WITH NANO. ANY PLANS TO WIN, THIS YEAR?
A: I guess that all depends on how November rolls.

[5/9/12] Q: I hear that you're starting work on finishing Wah Wah, & that this ebook is a free preview of the first 8 chapters?
 A: I'm actually plotting to finish this, have Jay edit, & publish the full copy on lulu.com.

Q: Why such a hold-up between Chapter 8-14?
A: I wrote chapters 9-14 for Nano, & had decided that they were horrible. Almost.. I don't know, 6mo later, I reread them, & decided they were brilliant. I plotted the rest of the story, just now, & will be working on it.


Q: When can we expect to buy Wah Wah in book-form?
A: Likely in a year. I have to finish/type up the whole thing, & find an actually-working printer. Then see Jay/muster money to pay him. Lulu.com seems to be a quick publisher. Initial copies will be mailed out to friends as bait. Friends/etc will be directed to buy more online.

Q: Who are you mailing promo copies to?
A: Likely my brother, my sister, & my friend Shivanee. Most likely one to Andrew, too.
