I have just been thinkin more about The Old Man Blogger nouvella.  I am somewhat into The Old Man and the Sea, and i have decided that i don't need to compete with that. (The Old Man and the Sea really is pretty good by the way.  Hemingway was a good writer.).

What i think i might do instead is talk about the "old man blogger" in the third person.  As the writer, i can say that i knew this "old man blogger" and i know his whole story--then write the story that goes along with the different stages that he went through conceiving "globanomics".

In the end, he will die, but happy.

ps.  I have been giving thought to what it will mean when i have the main character of the story die in the end (when i am the person i am writing about), but this is a book of fiction and not real-world so i think i can pull it off, knowing that i might not die at the end.

ps1.  Though i have the perfect way for the "old man blogger" dying with a smile on his face.  Because at the end he realized that he had done everything that he could and the best way to prove that he didn't care about gaining notoriety was to "completely detach himself from everything that he had done."

ps2.  And I can write that story.
