....I'll even offer to have a 20% chance (yes, roll dice time) to write a chapter where you are suffering from writer's block. (or if I decide you're not going to get over the block and I get motivated :) )
Since I haven't practiced writing since an amazingly poor attempt to write a prequel novel in the Darkover universe (though it certainly floored my english teacher, it doesn't take much to do that, frankly)....I can assure you it will be BAD. And you can treat it like a gaming supplement and go "nope, that's what I DON'T want to do" and hopefully be inspired :)
And heck, maybe since I like people more than I did when I did that abortive novel (got to page 80...) it will more likely be a good story (MZB said "If you like people, people have a much better chance of liking your stories." and it seems like a useful axiom to me, though one I used to abandon writing entirely subsequently (wry look)) it might have parts even worth using.
And if it is, feel free. I publically waive all rights to royalties in exchange for taking them off of my meal tab with you and exhalting You, my demi-Goddess of many virtues :)
I'll do one better than vote :)
