The alpha to omega

I'm seriously considering going the self-publishing route with my next book, 'The alpha to omega'. At least it'll be out there - Amazon and Barnes&Noble can technically sell it - and it will put the continual editing and rewriting behind me. Then I'll only have 'The Year of the Monkey' to work on and may, one day, actually finish it! It is going to have the benefit of a professional edit, since a couple of typos escaped attention in the last book, despite my own repeated proof-reading and that of colleagues.

My shipment of 'Is' finally arrived, with Vietnamese customs somehow calculating that I owed them about 50$ in taxes for importing it. I'm close to covering my costs in publishing it, which means I'm out there, being read, and it hasn't cost me anything. Of course, it also means no actual profit, but then that's not really what I wrote it for.

No time, no time

Moving on from Vietnam becomes an all-consuming thing. We have a hot favourite spot in mind, but are waiting on decisions which are waiting on decisions....

A holiday would be nice just about now. Three weeks to go until Vietnamese New Year and a week of repose...

...and hopefully some decisions.

2007

2007 arrives and my feet haven't touched the ground yet. Too much going on, no time for reflection. More later...
