My stories of triumph, failure, and perseverance... but mostly failure, some fraud and a lot of quitting.
Creighton Thompson wrote "Failing Good" hoping to cleanse his memories of the jillion 'what if's' that collected in his head over the years.
Thompson frees himself by owning-up to his lifetime of goof-ups and abject failures and presents it to readers in well crafted essays.
Follow this scrawny screw-up as he grows up in the sixties, comes of age in the seventies, then sputters through the eighties and nineties, just managing to avoid jail time and rehab.
While many will laugh, some cry and a few people actually vomit in disgust after reading this book, fellow underachievers will rejoice in finding and unwilling, unelected leader in Creighton Thompson.
And, it's a lot of fun for $1.99 at Amazon.com
Excerpt
Bully for Me
Being scrawny in elementary school meant I was a great magnet for bullies. And thanks to my dad's beatings, I became a great flincher as well. Combine scrawny with flincher, and I was a galactic black-hole for bullies. Sometimes I even attracted them from other nearby school districts.
Getting picked on in school was like being in a twisted HMO plan. I'd see my primary bully two or three times a week, but if he was busy or out that day, I'd be referred to a secondary bully for mistreatment.
