As I get further into my college degree, and continue to work, my days actually come out to be shorter then I would like. I have found hardly any time to even look at my book, and it is becoming so frustrating because of it. There is uncertainty if I will even be able to finish what I started over the next couple years while I am in school. The good news however is that I am doing very well in college. Almost all my class, all but maybe one, are B’s or higher!

Never the less, I shall try and find the time to at lease but a few works in my book every now and then. And sooner or later, it will be done and I will post it up on this site to download for all to read (after I put in the copyright for the book being online and in print and so forth.)

Okay! So nothing is going as planned at all. My funds are all out of wack because of me starting college now. I am taking a course load of 18 hours, which is their Max, and downsized my work hours from 40 to 30. Though the course work for school right now is not as much as I thought, the work I do have is time consuming. And the cost, even with a Grant covering tuition, is more then I thought would be to allow this project to go just as planned. I am having to fill up my gas tank alone about twice a week now driving about 50 miles a day. I use up just one quarter of a tank in one days time. But hey! In the end, it will be worth the exspense.

I will say that I will not stop working on the book. And more then likely, I will put is as a download for everyone to read for free and only accept donations for my work so as to one day pay for the printing of it. However even this idea will take a good amount of time to put into action given my full schedule. So do bare with me for a while until I get the book completely typed up and uploaded. Beings I am a working parent in school, time is not really on my side at the moment.

Like I stated before, there is always that chance along the road to victory that sets things back a little keeping you from reaching, from what is seen, as being an easy deadline. That moment has come up with the Holiday season. While I would love to have this book to get printed and be able to get them out to the waiting public, I have limited funds. For those who know me, they know that family comes first. And with family also comes school and work. I have three things all coming and going now at once that it is keeping me tied down a little causing time to slip through my fingures. I am putting forth my best effort to get the book done, and as I said before it is pretty much completed. However with all that is going on, funds is the one thing that I lack to push this project through the door and wathc it lift off the ground.

Granted this shall not be a huge set back for the project, it could delay the printing for at least a month or so. No more then 3 months, I promise! If I can not get all my other matters in order and taken care of before 3 months draws close, then I shall take out a personal loan to get the project kick started and placed into print. However there is nothing like good old fashioned labor work to pay for the bills…..

I am going to try and stick to this schedule as best as I possibly can. Though this schedule is not concrete, it never will be do to the fact that something always comes up to slow the process down. However, we will just have to see and hope that everything will go along as smoothly as possible.

October & November - Creation and Editing of the Book
December - Promoting of the book and Advertise the book.
January - Print books withing January and open Sales, In person. Begin Book Signings.
February - Continue Book Signings. Send copies out for review and ask for reviews from the public.
March - Place the book in Borders and Waldenbooks. Purchase a P.O. Box, Business and Vendor License.
June - Place the book in Barnes & Noble. Purchase a Company Phone.
July - Book Signings. Based upon sales and amount of work, put forth funds to start publishing other future authors.

That is how I plan things to go down so far. However this is soly a rough outline, I may add or change within the next month depending on how things are going with the book. Just have to wait and see.

As for the book itself. It is coming along fairly well. I am going to publish pretty much my first book, meaning only the poems written in one of my journals, to start off with. Make all my work a series about all that goes on in my life and its effect. The first book shall hold, at most, 170 poems and shall come to be around 150 pages or a little more.  This means the price I had in mind might go down just a bit beings the cost to produce will also go down.

The book shall be divided into three categories, such as chapters, from the start of my work to the end. Beings I wrote these poems day by day based upon personal emotions and events going on, means it should come out to be a more worth wild book to read. The poems going in order shall show you how I climbed up from depression to happiness and thereafter. So, lets get to work and get this book on the move.

I have come up with the books title and the cover designs for the front and back. (Note, this title and cover design is already copy written by my self.)

Front Cover

Book Flyer

Backcover for the book.

Welcome to the W.T.H. website. Here you shall receive updates on the book, book signings, learn about any new books coming out, so on and so forth.  I created this website for the purpose of promoting my book and informing you of my greater intentions of more then just to earn money, but to support my family. So please, subscribe to the site, bookmark it, check up on it weekly and learn about what is going on.

From the looks of my scheduling and work progress, I should be able to have the books printed off come January; the same month I also start college. The plan is to start off small and sell them in person to those who are interested. I hope to place up some flyers around the neighborhood as well as possibly at work to help generate some sells. I know that some people at my Fathers work may desire to purchase the book as well as Family for certian. Once I sold off the few books that I print off, I shall print off more and hopfully improve my sells
