After more than ten years of trying to write a memoir and all the craziness that's happened in my life (manic depression, swindling operation, running for office, almost flying off with a hundred grand of George Lucas's money among MANY other episodes), that a lot of people have asked me to produce, I can report that as of this afternoon the draft of the manuscript of my first book is finished!Some parts have been written over the years but it wasn't until three months ago that I truly devoted myself to the project.
Thought I ought to post about it because Free Republic and some of the Freepers make appearances in it.
Okay, that's 133,000 words that I have written. I'm going to play with the dog now :-)
Thank you for sharing.
Congrats. I love reading and would be happy to review it for you!
You deserve my highest praise.
How many pages was the manuscript? How much storage space? How many publishers did you contact before you got a win?
I am in the process of writing a transcendent romance in the science genre. The leading character will move through space and time and enable mankind to inhabit the universe.
Fantastic, congratulations!
When will the movie be available on DVD/Blu-ray? Congrats. 🙂👍
Is your manuscript in need of further refinement or ready to publish as is?
CC wrote that FReepers were mentioned in his book.
If there is a mention of Lazamataz, it might be better suited for a production company such as Shudder, Blumhouse or Hammer.
Good for you. Writers know the work of making words.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!! 🍾
Congrats!Beware of outfits who advertise their publishing services. Self I publishing isn’t that hard. I have 2 books on Amazon and currently writing a third.
That is a wonderful accomplishment!
Congrats!
I hope it's an anthology collection of vanity blogs and Viking kitties!
Haven't contacted any publishers. After I reread the manuscript, make edits and revisions etc, I'm going to try to get a literary agent.
It's going to be difficult but I want to try to get this published traditionally.
This is the first complete draft. So it’s going to need refinement, no doubt. Maybe after new year’s I’ll be confident in it enough to pitch to potential agents.
Among the people making appearances: Lazamataz and lowbridge.
Well done dude!! :-D
That is a real accomplishment, writing a book, words can live forever. Congratulations.
