Book 'Em...

[BostonChris]

Hey there fellow escorts (and clients as well),

For the past few years I have been working on writing a book.

It has taken many turns along the way.... from autobiographical, to fiction, to

sociological commentary, to humor, to poetry.... and so on.

I had stopped writing for a while because there was a lot of personal pain involved.

However, I am back at it.

The reason I am posting is not to let you know I am writing, but, to ask for some

information, assistance, and/or critique and guidance.

While rereading chapters, I decided that the book is too much of 'me', and the goal

was to capture perspectives, ideas, and mind-sets of being an escort... and I feel that

my book is too specific towards my own personal experience. For a while I was writing

sections in the 3rd person about stories others have told me. But, I don't like that, it

seems sort of 2nd hand... which it is. So, I was inspired by Oprah of all people... well,

I was inspired by her conflict with author Frey. I know what themes I want to present

in my book, and now, I've decided that I want to present these themes with other escorts'

views... and not my interpretation of them.

With all that being said, I'm asking for text, or stories, or even phone conversations (if you

don't want to type) to help build up my book. I can't promise much, I can't promise that

it would even be published. But, if it does end up, I'll give proper credit where credit is due...

and if the publishers would allow... proper compensation and publicity.

So, wow, this is a lot.

The themes of the book include, but are not limited to... addition, lust, narcisism, power, submissive behavior, deviant lifestyles, double lives, homosexuality as evolution, histrionic

needs, etc etc etc. Oh, and of course, it has its humor as well.

So, if you'd like to contribute, please send me an email.

And if you know of any publishing houses that may want to take a shot with me, even better!

Thanks for your time.

Yours,

-Chris

Why are you including addition, but not subtraction, multiplication and division?

Chris – I’m glad that you are taking the initiative by writing that book… When you run a business in which you deal with the public there always exists the potential for becoming a Shakespeare of sorts… with anecdotes and stories covering the entire gamut of human emotion from the insanely comedic to the most tragic and heartbreaking of circumstances, with all sorts of outlandish behavior sandwiched in between. Believe you me, I have been toying with the idea myself for a number of years… Though I don’t have the time, inclination (much less the talent) to bring it to fruition…

 

In your case you will not only be coping with a variety of personalities, but you are dealing with them under the most unique and intimate of circumstances… Which should make the manuscript an even more interesting and fascinating read… Definitely something out of the ordinary. Now if, as you say, you want to get the viewpoints and perspectives of others as opposed to your own, that would make the read even more captivating… Just remember, as the author, even though you will be expressing the thoughts and ideas of others, the manner in which they are presented will ultimately be filtered through and influenced by your own experiences… This may not be a bad thing as it could give the book a harmony and tone that could serve as a unifying factor… as opposed to just a random hodgepodge of arbitrary narratives and points of view.

 

At any rate, wishing you the best of luck on what should prove to be a most rewarding endeavor.

Thanks for all of your input! Much appreciated.

Your comments are right on target and parallel my intent.

Ultimately, it will be my writing, but I would love to have as much input as possible.

If I stick to my schedule, I should have a first draft manuscript by the end of spring.

Thanks for the encouragement!

This site will be the first to know of my progress.

Yours,

-Chris

Hey Chris,

 

First of all I have to say that I am very glad that the painful situations in your personal life are being left in the past. (Or so it seems from your post.) I hope that your life will keep getting healthier, happier, more fun with every day. And of course, working in a project that you are passionate about always makes us happier, more fulfilled.

 

I too have been writting since I was a teenager, but I have to confess that the chaos in my material makes it almost impossible to conglomerate into something cohesive. I am almost about to resign to the fact that I write for myself. (And it is kind of safer that way; sometimes what I write is so personal that I would feel horribly selfconscious if any of it got published.)

 

In any case, let me see if I can find anything that might be right for your project and if I find something I would be more than glad to send it to you to see what you think.

 

Receive a tight hug and my best wishes for both your life, and your project.
