It would take longer to edit a book written by you than the time it took to actually write it. Someone would have to sift through the unintelligible gibberish, misspellings, and shit grammar to make it into something that is readable.puppylove_sugarsteel said:New book?

Post directed at Stalin Baze. You cant complete a fucking sentence so bow out. Good lord you are like noxious gas. You just linger around other posters and pounce. Do something on your own..leave discussion for those over the competent range on the IQ scalePurpleBaze said:

Sounds like a great book Stalin. Later could you write a book on the downfall of UW under TW, the politics, the race card, the shame, the disgust by loyal season-ticket holders, the innards of that mess. Id like to know what his coaches, players has to say about that hot shit fuckshow.DerekJohnson said:Hey everybody... Slightly more than two years after starting the project, my next book is complete and has entered the production stage. The targeted release date is August 17. It's called The Beautiful Life and Tragic Death of Parker Moore. For those unfamiliar with the story, Parker was an amazing young man who was graduating from Woodinville High School just as I arrived at The Woodinville Weekly in 2013. He went on to Linfield College in Oregon to play football as a linebacker and to study finance.
On November 15, 2014, Parker entered a 7-Eleven in McMinnville, Oregon late at night. He was randomly murdered inside that store. To everyone who knew him, this news was not only horrific but also incomprehensible. While in high school, he'd been jokingly crowned "Most Likely to be a Trophy Husband". But in reality, Parker Moore was going to become something epic in this world and give back much to society. Friends and teammates could clearly see that. Parker was handsome, charismatic, brilliant, mischievous, cunning, athletic and funny. Above all, however, he possessed tremendous empathy. If a mad scientist were to concoct all the ingredients needed for a great future leader, they would've created Parker Moore.
But his life was snuffed out in a moment of horrific, random violence. The ramifications of his murder deeply impacted the communities of Woodinnville and McMinnville. The lives of his friends and family were shattered and altered. Through all this came the grappling for meaning and the reconciling of faith. (People had different responses to the questions of the impact on their faith).
As I worked on this book, I grew close with Douglas Archie Moore and Julee Moore. I also received invaluable input from their daughter Hayley. Their help and trust were critical. At the outset I told them I wouldn't write the book without their blessing. Portions of these interviews ventured into private and vulnerable areas of their lives. The Moores answered the questions despite the pain or discomfort they felt. For that I am grateful.
In all, I conducted sixty-one interviews with family, friends, coaches and teammates. There were lots of tears but also funny moments they shared from Parker's life. Some stories I really enjoyed had to be cut from the book for the sake of the overall story. But once the book launches, I will have a blog on my redesigned website derekjohnsonbooks.com, which will be rolled out in mid-August. I will tell some of those wonderful stories on the blog.
On Wednesday September 18, we will be having an event to commemorate the book at The Pizza Coop in Woodinville. It will run from 7p.m.-10p.m. Everyone is welcome to drop by.
