To write a book?

[xelasnave]

I often feel inclined to write a book and then come to my senses and say no way.
Having come out of my failed relationship I am looking for a project that takes my mind off the past...so I thought maybe a book on gravity

But then I wonder how many could one sell... lets face it gravity is not a subject that everyone has at the top of their interest list.

My readings about gravity tells me there are a few ideas out there (besides gravity push) ..electric Universe for example,zero point gravity, Newton and even general relativity....so one could fill a few volumes...

So what do you reckon...who will be kind enough to tell me it is a stupid waste of time.

and is there any math folk who can knock up a few formulas to give gravity push some clout

gotta fill your time with something - why not a book? go for it

Must be cloudy nights in Tabulam?

[mick pinner]

writing a book is a great thing. l spent 2 years doing a technical manual on spray painting, writing it is one thing getting it published is another.

do it for yourself... if you do it for money you'll probably be dissappointed. Good things these days is self-publishing small volumes at good quality is fairly cheap so even if you can't get a publisher interested you can churn out 100 or so copies give them to family and friends and leave lying around on coffee tables

Yes indeed but I am in Drake which is always cloudier...
It puzzellels me why one gets these rushes to do things so silly...around here there are a few writers... one lady has written a book and knows all the ropes..so I thought maybe bringing in someone like her

Yes I am bored I guess..and I guess the clouds are the reason.

There would be a better market for a spray painting book one would think.
In fact my market would be so narrow I could write them all by hand.

I have seen sites where you can get a very small number printed..his would be enough to show quickly to friends and doubters that there was indeed a book...

If you want to see how a book should be written try reading 'A Fortunate Life' by Bert Facy. May give you some ideas how to make the reality come to life in the written word.

Bert

Thank you Bert I appreciate your input ...er can you do the math please

Alex,

I have the Title
"The Universe and everything else according to Alex.

Why not write a book about everything including some wild theories and maybe even some wilder experiences.
Include how the theories were born and what processes or lifes experiences moulded or contibuted to their very nature.

You can do this.
I personally think it would be a great read.
All you need is time

[Bassnut (Fred)]

Alex, Id like to see a triest on your push gravity theory, even a paid for web booklet.

[GrahamL]

You'd probably write a good Bio Alex , you have a good eye for humor
and the "life experiances" ..to make it a good read .. there'd still be no shortage of colurfull types up in the ranges I guess that you cast a jaundiced eye over once or twice.. with a couple of chapters on gravity of course

[netwolf]

Alex, perhaps an online book might be good. Perhaps a running journal of sorts.

[skwinty (Steve)]

Make sure it's illustrated.
I only look at the pictures anyway

[ving (David)]

try an online publisher...

blurb.com is good. cheryl just published a book thru them and the quality is really good I used lulu.com to publish a photobook. the good thing is that it doesnt cost you thousands to do... infact it costs you the price of one book.

I like the title idea... because thats what it would be I guess..I am not the only person with a theory of everything and I reckon mine is the best I have seen..so its not as though I dont believe in the product... but at least presenting that proposition is honest..most folk are really giving their view but they make it sound as if it is fact... I like the idea of such a qualification of content.

I have the time sortta I need to get motivated the ex was hateful of my ideas and astronomy so I just hope I am not going to be doing it out of spite... I am trying to stand without influences from others at the moment.

Thank you very much for the encouragement.

Thats all I need ..if only one person is interested and appreciative that be high wages for me... the only reason I think of cash is as a sign of appreciation..so if someone appreciates whaqt I do I dont have to pay tax on receipts...

A friend said just cut and paste from the stuff I posted on astronomy daily (25k hits) and ravenshoe (Shauns site)(28k hits) and I could get a couple of volumes if I condenced just that
It is surprising the robots are so interested

Anywyas I reckon if I got a printer and had all those posts before me that would maybe dictate and order for the book.

Thanks for that...
I have thought although my life is normal to me it is very strange when I compare it to my world of 30 years ago... and so folk like looking at something different..there are some extrodinary characters up here.. stranger than me by a long shot...

I have an influence on people I wonder about..my mate who is into the tarot cards now sees that the push is responsible for even stuff in the spirit world...he is a total convert...as is anyone I can talk to face to face...

His tarot site has 18 thousand at $30 a year members.... so I feel duty bound to bring truth to these folk as well..via my franchisees

Anyone want a T shirt while I am making lists

How wonderful the opportunity is so doable..because of the net stuff is now possible that once only a few powerful folk could do.
