Okay, here’s the rewritten blog post, stripped down to a sarcastic short story:
“Hey everyone! Just finished a hefty research project, and I’m currently wrestling with the decision of whether to publish my novel as a book and share it with the world.
My protagonist, Elliot McMurray, is a 33-year-old architect. He and his 5-year-old daughter, Lily, just moved back to Summer Valley, Maine, a town that’s practically a childhood home.
What does your day look like as a professional architect?
* **Both for those who work at home:** I’m trying to figure out which of those two options is the most lucrative. Maybe I should just publish the book, and then share it with the world, which is a bit like doing a marathon.
* **For a recently-divorced dad and his five-year-old:** I’m really struggling with the financial implications. I’m thinking maybe the book is a good investment for him, but it’s a bit of a gamble.
I’m hoping to find a balance between the two, and I’m really excited about the potential of this novel. Maybe we can even start a book club!
Anyway, back to the book! What do you think?”
Hi! You see, I’m writing a novel, one that I plan to publish as a book and share my stories with the world.
I’m doing research. My main protagonist, Elliot McMurray, is a 33-year-old architect. He and his 5-year-old daughter had just recently moved back to his childhood hometown of Summer Valley, Maine.
What does your day look like as a professional architect? Both for those who work at home and those who don’t?
Lastly, how profitable is it? For a recently-divorced dad and his five-year-old? Sorry.
