Jonathan's stupid book adventure

Being reclusive, Jonathan's only escape into the "real world" was through books. He didn't work, and he was thrown out of college, so that's how he filled his time when he wasn't at the arcade.

Mind you this is a man in his twenties at the time of this tale.

He figured that he's read hundreds, possibly thousands of books, why not try writing a book? Wouldn't it be a delight if he can become rich and famous from something he loves -- Books?

So he put his nose to the grindstone. Writing. Writing. Writing. Day and night.

Research? You bet. He asked his folks and brother about any of the details that he had no insight into. Hmm. Perhaps this is where he went wrong...

My Father used to tell us a story about how fast cars can be. The old joke was that a car with a BIG gas pedal would go faster than a car with a smaller gas pedal.

And we had told this little anecdote to Mark who happened to have this tidbit on his mind when his brother asked him, "You drive a car, what would make one car faster than another?"

Impishly Mark told his brother my Father's joke. His brother thanked him and incorporated the information into his book.

Ultimately, Jonathan finished his book. His mother said it was fine, but all the book publishers that Jonathan sent this to rejected it in a flash.

Try living a life a little, and maybe you can write about things.
