I have in it a document, timestamp 2004-04-28, giving my point of view of the then recent events of the Kingdom.
it's 23 pages long, 6688 words long.
I will read it and see if I can publish it.. I will most likely need to change names to protect identities, but it gives a fresh review of the Seat gate, the MN, etc...
There is a long text from 2004-05-18 which I have NO idea where it is from. Is it an email? A Witt post? Don't know, but its a lot of stuff about what would lead to the Republic.
I have another one from 2004-03-17, it appears to be an email about the seat gate.
I have a directory called "Articles" with the first drafts of my QI articles, some of which might NOT have been published, I will have to check.
It notably includes a speech about my term as first Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies of the Republic, or Túischac'h. I don't know if it was actually given.,
There is a folder called ESTO, with everything about Esto... documents, articles of the federation, etc...
And finally, a copy of my interview with Jonathan Kelly.
If you remember, Jonathan had conducted interviews with many Republic citizens which were published in a book.
I was interviewed too, and I had a LOT to say. It ended up not being published, and probably never will in it's original format.
But with all this material, I wonder... could I have enough raw material for a history book?
What are your thoughts?
Do I leave this alone, or do I write my memoirs?

Forget the Interview... it only covers the first 6 months of my activity in Talossa or so... it was never published because it was never completed.
Still, it might provide some insight on a period we last Wittenberg data for...

BTW, Esto was a inter-micronation alliance, a little like the UN.
It was the Ephemeral State treaty organization.
It was named by Grubi, but I believe I did all of the rest. I think I am the person who wrote the extensive charter (my name is at the top of the document as being written by me...)

I have a 3 page introduction written. It gives me a sort of table of content. I don't know if or when it will be completed, but I am starting... may be interested in publishing stuff like that. Where publishing means wrapping some neatly designed stuff around it and keeping up a link where the document can be found. |

My book now has 25 pages and 7646 words, thought to be honest, 12 of the pages are the last ESTO charter, which totals 2331 words.

Oh, I am also citing historical emails from myself, and a few other people, but everything I cite is fully respectful of the people and never to put these people in a bad light (this will change when I start citing emails from Ben).

6 days ago, I explained that my book had 25 pages and 7646 words.
I am now at 52 pages and 18,175 words.
But more importantly, I believe my introduction is now completed, and that my conclusion is done.
Here is my table of content so far, as a Teaser (I am currently writing the chapter "Becoming a citizen".
Of course, as I am writing and doing research, additional topics are added. Right now, I am researching my first weeks in Talossa, so all of the things I did in 2001 or even in 2002 are not yet in the table of content, but it's coming.
Oh, and my research so far is only in my email archives. When I start reviewing Wittenberg, many chapters will be updated with additional sources (but not the original ones, since we lost those archives )
Those in Bold are completed, at least, for the first draft.
Introduction 4
Source of material 6
My discovery of Talossa 8
The mix-up around my arrival in the Kingdom 9
The replies to my offer 11
First signs of trouble with Ben 13
Was I right to register talossa.net? 18
Becoming a citizen 18 (currently writing it)
The Database 19
The Senate Seat and first tenure as SoS 19
The Cosa Number scandal 19
Becoming Witthoster 19
EM200 reform 19
The MN or, how the Kingdom turned evil 19
The Coup d’état by the King 19
The Seat Gate 25 (partially written)
The PC-ZPT merger 26 (but is missing some sources)
The pocket votes 28
How Ben turned on me 30
The Sane Mailing list 30
My draft of the Republic of Talossa constitution 30
Just what the hell is ESTO? 30
Documents about ESTO 32
Change of direction for ESTO 37
Some of the Applicants to ESTO 39
The ESTO Charter (last draft, as it existed on my computer) 40

I am now at 56 pages, 20,269 pages.
Only 1 document was added, meaning that I actually wrote a lot of words, mostly in a new chapter:
The Death penalty debate with Ben: almost 3 pages of content
I am now starting on EM200, thought I might also work on the database chapter.
I didn't continue Becoming a Citizen yet.
Writing might be placed on hold as I prepare the next Clark...

I am now at 63 pages, 23,318 words.
I have added a LOT of details about the Secret War of 2001, and I am just waiting for the permission from someone else to talk about a few things we had promised to never reveal, so that I might talk even more about it.
For those who were there in 2001, these chapters will give you hindsight into things that were happening under your eyes without your knowledge...
How is that for a teaser... now, everyone will need to read my book ;-)

Oh, guess what, I am now at 67 pages, and 25,154 words.
I have added a few pages on how I became Senator, with emails between Daviu Focteir and I about it.
Next up, if I continue in the same vein (I don't always do), I will explain how I first became SoS for the first time and then, how I became SoS until the Republic was born.

And this morning, I am at 85 pages, and 29,037 words, but a big portion of the new words is the addition of the 40 question civic exam, as well as my new 8 questions.
But there is a new section on the PIG (the Primary Intelligence Group), and on the Micronation desk, both of which have actual new words.
