Where I write random things about my life, writing, and other things whenever something interesting in my life happens that I feel I ought to tell the Internet World about.

Happy Anniversary, Silence.
Two years ago yesterday was the anniversary of the publication of 'The Story of Silence'. Two years ago yesterday, after a month of hard writing (my first time participating in NaNoWriMo 2012) and also after a hard 6 months of editing as best I could, dealing with a wide range of things I never thought I would have to deal with such as keeping on deadlines, coming to know Microsoft Word intimately and having many arguments and fights with it, and staring at a computer screen for way longer than was healthy, the book was finally complete. It was actually complete a week or two before publication date but the number of problems I had trying to upload the file was not funny. I had to upload the file, then I had to wait, with very slow internet, for it to be accepted, then I had to wait 24 hours before I heard back whether or not it was accepted further. After it was accepted further I had to go through and look at all the problems in formatting Createspace picked out, and then I had to go and fix them all and go through the whole process of uploading and waiting again. I had to do this a total of at least 6 times, that's almost a week of purely uploading slightly different files over and over again and being told they are not acceptable. Somehow, I do not know, it was finally accepted and I published. And wow, two years have passed. Thank you very much all who have bought copies.
