The books out!! Blood sweat and algorithms. I put it up on face book where its selling surprisingly well - no idea who the market may be -
Don't know how to post it here but if you go to Amazon books and ask for Death: a Work in Progress by Vanilla Beer, it will emerge from the digital swarm.
It's done, it's done, it should be on line next week - amazed, astonished, that its been written. Been binning my notes and roughs and all that stuff and I've no idea how I did it - none - day in and day out - how??? Everything about it amazes me. I know I'm an obsessive and I remember feeling like this at the end of a difficult painting series but now I'm toying with the idea of possession.
Still, onwards... had the prepare the studio for drawing tomorrow.
Feb nearly gone and book still not available. Its being re-formatted, I believe.
I've been invited to do the drawings for a maths book! Nice job. With a beginning and an end, oh la.
Its finished done, all over, allelujia....
Gracie stepped in to help when I got baffled by Amazons easy self-publishing process. She and a friend are currently reformatting (?) I am planning a celebratory holiday, which I feel is deserved.
Editing is a joyless task.
Two chapters to go; then on to correct digitally. By which time no doubt some rewrites will be in order.
Grinding on... well over word count now, which means I can do some serious pruning of the padding. Dunno when. Today is Bobs birthday, there is a party here - next week is occupied but not radically so.
I keep telling myself that theres only so much you can say about death, then another book/idea/webpage turns up -
Real proper editing in earnest. I had thought was careful and punctilious; actually, I look slapdash. Got a week before Bob gets home and expect to be done by then.
It does feel like the tip of the iceberg. I could carry on longer. But people are dying and want to know what'll happen to them...
