Drills

Nanowrimo did not eat my life.  I'm sort of looking for an excuse, but I can't even say I've been busy.  I tend to blog more on the road than when I'm at home.  Must like it here or something...

The book was effectively done at 38k words two weeks ago.  The challenge for Nano is write 50,000 and I'm not sure the book can support that and I don't want to cheat and  write on a second book for the word count... so I'm still expanding with just under four days.  7000 words to go, which is well within reach for one day when I knowwhat needs to go on paper.

Anyway, without further ado, here is the list of chapters thus far:

  3. Also, dont worry you have better things to do while your at home than worry about your blog. Family should come first.

  6. So, how soon can you get this published? This sounds like a great idea for a book. I cannot wait to put my classes through all of them.

    He COULD get this published in four days, if he felt it was ready to go and if CreateSpace is still offering the 'free proof copy' code Dec. 2 (it's something they're offering to NaNoWriMo winners again this year). It would probably be in his hot little hands within three weeks.

    It would only be the one lonely proof copy, though :D

    Absolutely pumped for this one!

  9. So if I started a petition, how many signatures would it take to get you to release this as an ebook asap?

  10. And this boils down to an economic decision. If I publish it as an e-book, money will start coming in in about four months. Regular publishing it will be two years. But e-books don't really count towards your publishing credits...but the royalties make it economically viable to sell at a quarter the price...but I like having a book in my hand...

    Would it be possible to have both an e-book available, and a deal with CreateSpace or someone that could print-on-demand if someone wanted a papercopy in their hot little hands?

  13. Why the hell does it take two years to publish a book. Seems to me publishers are about as bad as the record labels.....sigh. I'm guessing if you go the publishing route we want see the book till 2012. What ever you decide I'll suport you. If you go the long route I'll use it as a lesson in patients.

  14. Can't do both, I take it?

  15. My Guess for the name they will choose for this book is "Preparing for Violence." I just want to mark this down and see if I'm right. I'm not trade marking or putting a claim on copy rights. If they choose it go with it.
