Thread: I just wrote a book

I'm going to look into this. Depression was/is one of my biggest battles, and since apparently you mention lucid dreaming also, it sounds like it would be very suitable for me .

I wish you luck with your sales.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Wow, congratulations!

Congratulations on beling published. I do hope you were being modest in the title, "meaningless meanderings"? Hopefully one day I will write something worthy of a publisher.

However, 116 pages?

but it was self-published through an independent publisher, I am not anywhere near good enough to be published by a traditional publisher. I just needed to get this out of my system, kind of like a form of therapy. I intend to write some more in the future whether traditionally published or self-published. Either way thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it.

As far as 116 pages go, What can I say, I have the attention span of a fruit fly.

Well, it certainly won't exercise the reader's

How easy is publishing a book? I'm just wondering.

For curiousity's sake.

Don't get any ideas punk.


Someone very close to me has published over 9 novels worldwide and won prizez, and shortlisted for booker prize.

iT'S TRICKY.

I'll get ideas if I wants. And I don't dispute the trickity of the publishing world.

Very easy, if you self-publish, or like the OP, get a company who specialise in self-publishing to do it for you.

But you won't sell any copies that way.

No offense to the OP .

Seriously the computer technician at my old college was a serial novelist, self-published a few books, but had to buy a copy of his own book and sneaked it into the college library. Wonder if anybody ever loaned it...

He was Northern Irish and it was about the Troubles.

i.e. depressing most likely.

Those pesky catholics/protestants (delete as appropriate).

Haha, casual rasicm. Those darn Irish.

Cheers. I'm not writing anything, I was just wondering. If I haven't at least one published book before I die I'll...die of shame...meh...

Saying the Troubles were depressing is not racist.

Death = sad. Fact.

However demeaning the entire history of Ireland by consolidating it into a simple (delete as appropiate) might be.

Look, I was joking, there was no need to go quote-crazy (and drawing Wikipedia in? Cold, dude, just cold). The Troubles were obviously a hard time (or "depressing" as you so neatly condense it) and no-one here even vaguely intends to downplay that fact. That and calling things "casual racism" is fun.

Let's not fight, Ident, I likes you too much.

Ok, I misunderstood. Wasn't serious anyway.

And the "delete as appropriate" comment was a joke.

As was mine.
