Pobody's Nerfect - Kindle Non-Fiction

Pobody's Nerfect 
by Scott Helvick 

When I first got the idea to dig up nine years’ worth of my own blog posts, journal entries, handwritten notes, and miscellaneous Internet postings, I surmised that it would be relatively easy to compile the best ones into a decent-looking e-book.

As you can imagine, the only part that was “relatively easy” was the procrastination. After obsessively poring over and sorting nearly 900 pieces of writing, I came to the disappointing conclusion that very few, if any, of these pieces were good enough to pass through my filter for inclusion in the book. I was hoping to be able to glue them into a cohesive narrative detailing some of the most defining periods of growth in my life, but there just wasn’t enough substance behind many of those posts/entries/notes, especially the earlier ones, to allow me to write the story in the way I wanted to write it. I needed a new approach (or a new past).

That’s when the title hit me – Pobody’s Nerfect seemed, ironically, perfect. An account not only of my perpetually problematic perfectionistic proclivities, but also, self-referentially, of my struggles with those very same proclivities in writing this book.

Pobody's Nerfect is a story of truth, above all else. It is also a story of my struggles with, among other things, love, spirituality, and intense personal growth throughout young adulthood. I certainly hope you will find it entertaining and inspiring, but I can promise only truth.
