Well then.

Founding Of Moonshadow was much shorter than expected. It went way more quickly than I had expected. At one point, it looked like it was going to transform into a very detailed, long and complex story. Jacob then decided that only at one crucial point was a detailed set of paragraphs needed.
After this crucial point, he went back to summarizing. Which meant my book died at page 30, today, and I added a sample chapter of the 'uncensored' version (long story) and a couple of Jacob's poems, which I'm contemplating removing because I'm not especially proud of them.
It'll probably be published by the end of the month at this rate.
I'm so happy to have finished it! You wouldn't believe me if I told you just how excited. I've been reading a fair bit about self-publishing online. It's frustrating how many people are just 'don't do it' types. It's not going to murder a professional to self publish one book, especially one that's completely non-traditional in formatting.
At the moment, I'm trying to figure out exactly what to do with the thing.
Who votes I just put it up after a read through and a brief edit? It's really, really well done for a first draft. I love it-and my poetic stuff is 99% of the time pure, raw, first draft, and it gets lots of love. So, thoughts?
Anyone interested in helping me out with editing can comment. Second off, anyone who wants to see an excerpt can comment. Third, anyone who wants to voice their opinion on what they'd like to see me write next (genre-wise, or a theme, not exactly detailed) can comment.
Actually, I'd just like to see some comments around here, some opinions.
