I want to get a complete strangers opinion on my finished manuscript. Here is the synopsis:
Max Carlson is a brilliant existentialist, with deeply intuitive philosophies on life, love, and the general banality of the world. He's also a self loathsome, masochistic drug addict with severe social anxiety. He drinks too much, sleeps with too many women, and pops pills to cope with his own misinformed and judgmental views of everything around him. He is the epitome of wasted potential and he knows it.
Watch as Max struggles to transition from an angst filled teen to a responsible adult, while making all the wrong choices. Dropping out of college to work at CensusPlus, a local call center in his small run of the mill town, he embarks on a journey most of us will never experience.
Losing himself in disassociative drugs, sexual affairs and an angry inner-dialog Max stumbles through his life violently destroying the last bit of hope he has for succeeding. His own desperation and negativity seem to be the only chance he has for survival, but can Max change what his life seems so destined to become? Is there a chance to save what's left of his world before it's too late? Will Max discover that living is worth more than dying, and just what he has to do to breathe again?
I have it copyrighted so I am not afraid to send people the full version, I only want a couple of people to read it, hopefully long time members. Please, if your interested let me know!
