Hey! I actually did it! I seriously finished writing a book!
I dunno if it's any good, but I seriously wanted to do something a lil different, so it's called The Way Things Might Not Have Been, and I guess it's a comedy or parody of geography and history, so it's just a bit more lighthearted, which I hope is a good thing...if anyone at all wants to see it?
Anyway, it took me ages cause I still find English totally awkward. Seriously, does anyone have any ideas to help with that? They like, don't use diacritics (the dots above letters) or kreskas or anything...It's sorta like they're afraid the dots will roll off and cause excess punctuation or something.
((ooc: Upon opening the book, you will find that it is similar to the Onion's 'Our Dumb World', only Polonized, and it only accounts for up to 1930. An odd mix of information, sarcasm and utter nonsense,it's fairly harmless, but the line between nation and location is blurry within it, for example Page 257, where we see'Russia: Borders on Europe, Asia and violent paranoid schizophrenia', or Chapter Six, which tells of the nations who fought to conquer Pomerania, before discovering that its' only population wasn't Polish people, but small fluffy dogs.))
