Kroatone Q&A

[kroatone]

Hey friends, I decide to open a Q&A thread for my book for any questions my readers my have. Make no mistake I really enjoy your feedback.

First question

When will this book be available to read?

[kroatone]

if all goes well, and I do mean if... I plan on finishing the first draft by the end of the current semester. Then I will take probably up to a month to do my final editing. Then I throw my money together as it will take a good amount of start up money to pay for the publishing, but that is what my rich step dad is for. Assuming I buy a copyright i will need to mail two copies of my work to the copyright offices in the capital along with forty dollars. Then I must wait about four months to get approved for my copyright. However, a copyright is not required, it just prevents any possible legal issues. After I copyright, I will then upload it to Lulu.com and have one of their professionals read and design an custom cover for me. Ok, with all of that in order, were looking at it being purchasable before the end of the year.... hopefully.

Sounds like it could be a while

[kroatone]

yes well, no one said being an author would be easy.

[Forgotten Dragon's Ire]

No no one did did they

[kroatone]

nope, and if they did, they lied. lol

Ok another question
What is the approximate length of the book? Are we talking 300 pages 500... 1000?...38902673892675148?

[kroatone]

I'm shooting for around 800. The actual amount could me more or less. My first draft is on paper, not on my computer, so i don't really know the total amount of book pages my notebook pages will equal.

[Forgotten Dragon's Ire]

Aw so your not trying to make the book 38902673892675148 pages... what a shame...

[kroatone]

actually, Lulu has a limit of 800, so I will need to hit that exactly.

[Forgotten Dragon's Ire]

Can you go to 800.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999994 pages?

[kroatone]

hmm...
