I wrote a book

Post by Swift »

I participated in NaNoWriMo last November and successfully completed it, plus went a respectable way past the goal. As it turns out, I was happy enough with it to take up one of the sponsors offers which would see what I wrote in a proper, physical printed object! As I decided to participate around 30 days before it was due to start, I went with something of a continuation of my previous writings here about my character as it was the easiest to develop in a short space of time, so if you did not like them, you aren't likely to like this one :D

Anyway, physical copies are actually pretty cheap to get printed and mailed (all up about 7 dollars for printing and international shipping, far cheaper to domestic US) so if you would like a physical copy, I just need to know.

I will also be making it into an ebook that will be totally free, if dead tree versions aren't your thing :D

I am quite happy with the achievement, even if everyone that reads it decides it is better used lighting their wood fire or whatever.

I will read this book on ebook format. I hope there are some busty maidens and cyborgs engaging in erotica within, but I shant be [too] disappointed if not.

I do, in fact, have cover art! Click the image for a larger version (Createspace required it to be rather sizable)

On another note, I have approved my book and have ordered copies. Once they actually arrive (Currently should arrive Friday 29th) I will make an ebook version available. If you actually want a physical copy, I would ask only enough to cover the printing and shipping costs (for Continental US, that is $8, for everywhere else, just ask as Createspace have a calculator to work that stuff out).

I am already needing to ship a copy to France for Hialmar :D

Edit:

2 more. The actual cover on a real, physical copy:

And, for Kid and Heero :P

Yes, 10 years in the future so as to not really mess about with current happenings (of which there were none at the time of writing, but you get the idea)

There is a line forming to find out. You must wait your turn.

Congrats, that is a mighty big deal... one for the bucket list.

Keep updated on what you do in terms of the electronic version... I'm definitely an e-book convert, nice to just have a little reader and endless data files, compared to crates of books. Easier to move, take places, etc.

Title is wrong too - the cover should read "I wrote a book!".
