ragbag

raynor ganan wrote a book

at roughly 2:36 in the early morning hours of october 5—with my lucky tank-top stretched taut across my barrel chest, a half-eaten croissant (pronounced kwa-SAHNT) on my desk, and 20cc of a taboo intoxicant known as distillate #66 pooling on the floor—i finished typing the last dirty word in the last dirty passage of a novel-length book which i’ve been writing and rewriting in secret binges over the course of 6 years.

in the coming weeks, i hope to tell you more about my 120,000 word adventure story, one that i’ve been obsessing over since barack obama was just a twinkle in the eyes of george w. bush. for now however, i’ve taken this novel-length book as far as i can by myself and i need your help! if you (or someone you occasionally bone) work in the publishing industry—as an agent, an editor, or whatever other positions exist that i don’t know about yet—i would relish the opportunity to exchange emails so that i might better understand the quest for which i have unwittingly enlisted.

also: if literary fiction that’s been incubating in the lukewarm backwaters of my brain for 2,000 days (2 kilodays) is the type of thing you might have some interest in, you can help me fan my pheromones and get-the-word-out™ through a thing called social media <barf>. consider reblogging this post on your dailybooth wall, introducing your okcupid flirt-base to this status update, or google buzzing my milfberry on myspace.edu! my fate—whether i continue my career as a pretty decent dentist or get a chance to realise my lifelong dream of becoming a pretty decent dentist with a published novel-length book—could very likely be decided by what you chose to do in the next 5 seconds with your index finger.

i’m deeply grateful to have made your acquaintance through the ragbag (a component of the internet) and tumblr these last few years. i’m not usually a genuine person, but i’m at my most genuine when i tell you i couldn’t have written my book without your continued feedback, encouragement, and most of all: your indomitable curiosity. thank you × 1,000,000. 

your good friend,
raynor
