I recently finished writing a short book. It’s my autobiography, and I had to keep it short. That’s because I only wanted to cover my accomplishments, and skip over all the bad stuff.
I call it, The Birth of Tippy Gnu, or TBOTG. It’s a mere 13,000 words, so it hardly qualifies as a book, but for my own pride’s sake, that’s what I’m calling it.
I’m parceling it into 14 or so installments, which I’ll soon be posting for your reading displeasure. In fact, this fantastic, intriguing, inspiring yawner will be born tomorrow, with the first installment. TBOTG will provide handy filler for my blog over the next month or so, allowing me to kick back and start doing what I’ve always been doing. Which is kicking back.
I wrote this book for the purpose of becoming rich and famous. But if that doesn’t happen, I at least hope to have fun reading and responding to any comments readers might leave. That’s always a trip. 🙂
So tomorrow I will be born again. And what’s great is, I don’t even have to attend a revival meeting. Stick around for all the fun, entertainment, and lurid details. I hope everyone likes TBOTG. Or at least a majority of my readers. Or at least a few. One, maybe?
And as you read along, maybe we will be drawn closer together, until somewhere near the end we become like family. I hope so. Because then I will ask you for a loan.
And with that, I’ll see you tomorrow, bright and early, for a fresh new start in life.

Who is going to change the diapers?
14 installments? Are you sure that is enough?

Good question about 14 installments being enough. It very well may not be! I know some stories that seem to go on and on… in spite of having been called, “The Ending”, “The Conclusion”, “Finale”, etc. .. just saying!

So far I’ve found myself quite capable of changing my own Depends. But you guys are welcome to help, if you want.
Would you rather I reduce it to one long, 12,000 word installment?

I figured that. I have to split this up, when I take into account the short attention span of my audience.

I look forward to reading it. Has TBOTG been fact checked, or are we expected to take everything at face value? Perhaps you need to post each installment to Twitter as well…

Oh heck, if I posted it to Twitter it would probably be taken down within an hour. The same goes for YouTube and Facebook.
