Mr. George Pickwicket

Dear Friends, family, fans, whatever you are, my mind is full of a new character that I can't seem to stop writing about. His name is Mr. Pickwicket and the other day I had a couple things on my mind about him that I had to jot down. But after writing my Mr. Pickwicket chapters I have realized that I would love feedback on the character and any ideas you may have about him or the story. I may or may not publish various chapters on here, so let me know your opinion on the subject and i will take it into great consideration. Here it is:

Now I will tell you the cinotamous tale of Mr. George Pickwicket. It is a story of a very nervous man that never can make up his blooming mind. But I must tell you a secret.. I don’t actually know the tale of Mr. Pickwicket because I am on the journey of discovering him myself. So far I know that he is a very nervous man who is not very social. And I do have to admit something to you.. all throughout the adventure I will include very old fashioned things. You see the truth is if I write about a character from present day then I find myself wandering to old fashioned tendencies. But if I put dear Mr. Pickwicket into a time period that’s more fitting for him, than it is hard for me to be historically accurate with the way life was. So.. join me on the exploration of this dear man and his poor nerves. 

And Chapter one is called "Poor Nerves". Now I realize that Cinotamous is not a common word, in fact it's not a real word. But I have made it up and it means something that is unsure or mysterious. I just was writing and was sure that I had heard the word used somewhere until when i was reading it to an audience they started to laugh and i had to stop to ask what was so funny and they informed me that, that isn't a real word. I am sure that if i ever do end up in an editors office (which is highly unlikely, because i only write silliness) then we will end up in a great many quarrels over my made up words. I am quite adamant that they stay in the story! 


I would love your thoughts! That's all for now!
