 Would anyone like a listening party that involves an author writing a book in real time. For example, each week the author reads the next chapter of their book...be like a weekly episode til the book is complete. Then sell the final book in our Nostr book app (Alexandria?) #asknostr  
 I have a feeling I know where this idea came from... 😅  
 It's a melting pot of conversations now stirring in my brain  
 Sounds like a party.💜📖
One week chapter to chapter is a fast ass writer 🤟💥

 True. Maybe the motivation to have someone gets the creative juices flowing  
 Some kickass motivation indeed 🔥✍️
If i ever grow the ovaries to do it with the project i’m writing i’ll know where to find you 😛

 Hell yeah!!! I will be there (if timing allows of course)! 
 Lol 🤣 facts 
 Ok once a month ?  
 That's probably more reasonable  
 I would love to have authors read their books to me live  
 That would be awesome actually 😊 
 Yeap, very reasonable :) 
 There’s a Nostr book app?!?!?! 

This is cool, but I’d need someone else to read my chapters as my voice wouldn’t hold out that long. 

And yeah, a chapter a week is fast. Usually a novel is written completely as a few drafts, then edited a few times through to get to a cohesive final. Some chapters change quite a bit in that process. For anyone with a finished book, this is great! 

If you don’t mind microfiction, I can read less than 300 words. All the stories are different, though all are genre of some kind: sci-fi, fantasy, etc.

 I'll read for you. I'll audition for you. 😁 

Might be better as short stories.  
 Sweet! 🫂 You can use the Good Deeds story as that’s typical of my writing style and length. 
 I follow. Maybe after the newsletter publishes we can do a live newsletter read or something?  
 That works. I have a lot of microfiction (self published 2 collections), so if you want other stories for a weekly or monthly reading/broadcast/storytime, just let me know and I’ll send you some. 
 Ok 😎, let's do a test run next month and see how it feels  
 🤩🎉🫂💙👍 
 I would absolutely tune in, provided I was enjoying the story 😁
