Progress update
The new website/domain has been completed for the new book. It does use the same template as makeamazing's website, but i think it doesnt require anything different or more fancy than that. Once i have more content i will post the web address.
Finally, I'm slowly getting back into writing again. I decided to stop writing chapter 3 which I wouldnt say was a difficult chapter to write, just one of those chapters that take time and effort to put together (its alot of graphics and explaining things).
Ive started on Chapter 16, and have made good progress on that chapter so far.
Im now at around 41 pages (book not manuscript). That leaves me about 14 pages down off Last Mondays target, so about 17 pages down overall including this week. I have a days holiday on Friday, so i'm hoping i can at least cancel out the original 14 pages i am behind and start making a dent on the 20 pages i need to do by Monday next week to keep to my 75 pages for the week.
The target for this week is to complete two chapters of the book and upload them for approval/checking by the publisher. This process is very common, and allows the publisher to check that you are writing the pages in the correct format and also writing in an ok style. This is one of only three milestones, and though the two chapters could be very small, completing it means that your one step nearer to completing the book. In my case the two chapters might not be any more than 20-30 pages (depends on which chapters you write to be uploaded). It could easily be two very small chapters, there is no requirement set down to say what it should be.
The milestone after the first two chapter uploads, is a biggie. Its the half manuscript milestone, where you need to put in half the chapters or half the book pages (doesnt really matter which, again its just and indicator for the publisher to make sure progress is being made). That milestone for me is the end of October, and that is alot more of a challege for me.. serious work is going to be needed to complete that target.
In the next couple of blog posts i will start to reveal what projects are included in the book, and hopefully some idea of what the book is all about.
