Enjoy the humor and satire of it. And if you don't think it's funny, that's perfectly fine too. I love it. A lot of people I know love it, and that won't change. I simply want as many people as possible to read it. Report me for spamming if you'd like, I'm not an avid user of yahoo! answers anyway, so trust me, unlike a lot of you, my life won't be disrupted by it's absence. Enjoy George Whipley, or hate George Whipley, or be entirely indifferent towards George Whipley. Whatever you'd like. And if you'd like to discuss the story with me further, you can e-mail me at mattjblythe11@hotmail.com. Feel free to add me to msn messenger as well.

Also, I swear I have never heard of 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', can anyone tell me more about it?

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a short story by James Thurber. It was made into a 1947 movie of the same name, with Danny Kaye in the title role.
The short story deals with an absent-minded man who drives his wife to the hairdressers, and then must run an errand while she is there. During this time he has four heroic daydream episodes. The first is as a pilot of a U.S. Navy flying boat in a horrific storm, then he is a magnificent surgeon performing a one-of-a-kind surgery, then as a cool assassin testifying in a courtroom, and finally as a Royal Air Force (RAF) pilot volunteering for a daring, secret suicide mission to bomb an ammunition dump.
from wikipedia.org. im not seeing the similarities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Life_of_Walter_Mitty

Um yeah, got as far as the first paragraph.. I read this one in tenth grade it's called The Secret Life of Walter Mitty... There is nothing wrong with paralleling a story but Dude, you have gon a bit too far by taking one of the great ones... Try again.... The structure needs a bit of help also.. And though I claim it a rip off there are hints of talent present..

I'm with black_beauty on this one. Ew. I would put the book down right after reading that. Also, it is rather boring. Needs some serious work. Don't get your hopes up on this one being a big success...it's off to a poor start!

OK your story i think should be something coming from you not off of an other story. As a writer to a writer use your own ideas and not someone else's.

I must say you have quite an active mind. However, it seems to be obsessed with masturbation. I would not give up my day job just yet!
