Please don't do this.

It is very, _very_ hard to understand even when handled by a master. If this is your first book, it will be almost impossible for your readers to follow.

My suggestion for you is this: Start a blog, and write short stories, flash fiction, or chapters of your book using this style. Show it to your friends and get feedback. Find out if your audience likes what you are writing and how it's written.

If it works, you can figure out your plot (or if you are a discovery writer, just get started). If it doesn't work, you can find out from your readers what is not working.

I salute your enthusiasm and your desire to write. Ce sont bons! But "writing for fun" still has to be guided by rules to be readable by others.
