Hey Shameless,, err I mean Mountain Man,
congratulations and I mean it.

Years and years ago I started writing a few books, but I get sidetracked easily, so non are finished.
All rights!!! wowsers..
there are others out there, keep looking

ICRCC, You are welcome.

Denob, PM sent.

Wilde, Thanks for the encouragement. I will persevere! I am so shameless...... 😳

Thanks for the support. Maybe, one day there will be a hard copy to hold in your hands.

Mountainman.

Thanks for all the visits to my blog. I hope you enjoy reading the excerpts from The G.O.O.D. Plan (Get Out Of Dodge).

What about self publishing on Kindle? Amazon? Other site?

I started to self-publish on Kindle, but their formatting over-rode my formatting and scrabbled the layout of the pages. I do not have the HTML programming skills at this time to reset back to my normal. I do not have the time or patience right now to sit down and manually adjust the Kindle copy line by line. As for self-publishing a hard copy, I have used Island Blue in Victoria, BC and they did a very good job. But there again, I am required to pay for the copies up front and then sell them. I couldn't sell a glass of water to someone in the Sahara Desert. I may be able to write a book, but I am not a salesman.

iUniverse will print it as well, but again my cash flow issue keeps getting the way. Thanks for the ideas.

There are a few publishers in the Sunshine Coast, up past Sechelt close to Medias?? ssplll.. sucketh..
Do not give up on the bigger ones, either remember to just keep sending in samples, there are stories of people sending out 2-300 then bam.. find one publisher, and on the top of the charts!

At least you finished it up, I muddle about with it every two weeks or so, I keep getting sucked into this forum or another one, plus some other issues.. hhmmpf.. not very military of me anymore, sigh.

Wilde,

I hear you. This forum is great, like electronic crack cocaine. Bet you can't make just one post or only read one. Next thing you know it's midnight. Oops.

As for my book. Yes, I keep looking for options. Like you said, it is complete and ready to go, of course a proof-reader would make it look a lot better. I am still finding minor errors.

I hope you can tear yourself away from here long enough to have your book finished before the end of Summer. 🙂

Mountainman.

Someone here said they were a proof reader??? trying to remember, I know Anita is good at proofreading but there was someone who said they did it as well.
End of summer would be good for one of the books, I am a bit ambitious, the book is part of a 3 part series, part two is screenplay, part 3 is a book on field skills including natural foraging, equipment and building projects, that one is the next 3 year project even though it was started 8yrs ago... sigh...

not ambitious at all... 🙄

WildE,

It is always good to have a project, 3 year....err 8 year projects count, too. 🙂

Mountainman.

Well, I don't know specifics, but yes. Madiera Park has a publisher there that's fairly good. I've been following the publishing scene for a few years now, as I've always wanted to write a book. There are insane stories out there of anywhere from 1 sample sent to 2500 samples sent before a publisher will bite. Harry Potter for instance. Denied by something like 6 publishers before one bit.

Thanks Hammer,

I will check them out.

Mountainman.

I'm enjoying your excerpts; I bet it was very exciting to have completed your book ❗
