HELP A BROTHER OUT

Velociman - “Mr. Hot-Shot Author” - does not know what to do with his Great American Novel. Should he slap the first few chunks of his crap up on his Online Web Journal for all the world to see, thus providing himself an incentive to finish the job...and an excuse to bing his Crew of Intrepids for a few simoleons in order to see Part II?

But if the V-Man pumps out a half-chapter and then nobody ponies up a few lousy dollars for the other half, his dick will shrivel and fall off in shame. So: what would you suggest he do?

I’d stick this nifty little poll on his own site, but, alas, I am travelling and do not have the keys handy. And so, you will just have to deal with it here:

	None of the above.
