I may take you up on that editor offer one day. I've tossed
together two self-published books for the fun of it, on Amazon -
just to see if I could do it. [my goal was to gather everything
together and publish a book for sale in less than 45 minutes -
it ended up taking an hour and a half the first time and 45
minutes the second time a few weeks later)... so at least, if I
wanted to, I could say, "Yup, I'm an author". I decided getting
it over with was easier than stressing over the "Perfect Book"
just yet.
And it worked.
One is a thesaurus of decontextualizing 100,000 words in English
that I did last year (based upon a commonly available Thesaurus
data source used by linguists and such) - and the other was a
book of things I said. They both actually sold a couple of
copies, but really, I just did it to get it over with so I could
move on to my next project instead of worrying about THE BOOK
THAT WILL SAVE HUMANITY.
