A Book

This website is due an overhaul, I can see it, you can see it and it will get one, but not today, this is my second consecutive post in the website news about the 100 in 100 blog.

No, I'm not planning on a round 2, the blog I created last year where I did 100 short stories and poems of 100 words in length in 100 days is now a book:
The Link above will take you to it's page on Goodreads where there are links to Amazon should you want a copy.

I also created a page on the website quite optimistically called books in the hope that maybe I can now make more and grow this page with my other books, whatever they may be.

So why would you want a copy of the book? Can't you just read it all on the blog?

Well yes, sort of, I guess I have wasted everyone's time, primarily my own, never mind. Although if you are interested, there are 1 or 2 reasons the book may be better than the blog:
  • Editing - The blog was by it's very concept kind of a rush, when I started making the book version, I found that it was riddled with errors, spelling, punctuation, grammatical. I edited it and I gave proof copies out to some of my most trusted friends and family so the finished product has... less mistakes. Think of the blog as draft 1.
  • Bonus Stories / Poems - I wrote 10 new ones which aren't on the blog at all and never will be.
  • Pictures - I had the idea for the book earlier this year, but first I decided that the stories should be illustrated, that way, they could have a page each and it could actually be a decent sized book, so there are 112 drawings (which are also not available anywhere else).
  • It's made of paper - Who doesn't love a real book?
If you live in the UK, there is a giveaway for this book starting tomorrow on Goodreads:
