    Boats are wonderful things

    I was thinking I was going to assemble a collective of short stories, some that I've already written, some that you guys have seen and I'd write a few that would only be in the book

    Kinda cool...
    Get it published by May, and I may be able to buy it since I'm going on a trip to USA. And at what price would you sell it?

    I don't know; a better question would be what price the people I go to want to sell it at

    It honestly might

    I'd buy it if I could find it somewhere that did free shipping.

    Otherwise I'd pirate it.

    Of course, then entire thing's off if it's a compilation of chainsaw-rape.

    Okay, maybe I'd still consider pirating it. >>

    Funny, I've also started writing my own book. It's more one of those inspirational novels, one which is partially based on my own life (the main character has the same heart condition as I do). It's less of an idea now and more of about three pages of basic introduction. Can't wait until it's done. :P

    Get an editor.

    No, that's not an insult. Every writer needs an editor. Just trust me.

    Also yes I would buy it

    I'd buy it.
    Ship it across Europe and you'll have at least one copy sold.

    Well, I, for one, wouldn't want an editor that always insist that

    it needs more gags.

    Just include more dead baby or holocaust comedy. That'll solve that problem.

    You could try e-book format first. and then see where that takes you, and if you're ready for the next step which is physical copies.

    Of course there are other strategies to get your work out there. But if you make an e-book you hold the possibility of creating a small fan base and a name for yourself. I know, it would be kinda hard, but making something successful never is.
