Seems I wrote a lot O.o

Tue Apr 7, 2009, 10:17 AM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Bløf - Eén en alleen
  • Reading: FYE2
  • Watching: Buffy (W00t!)
  • Playing: I have no time to play!
  • Eating: Kletskoppen
  • Drinking: I am thirsty...
Current Priority Project: FYE2-publishing, FYE1-dutch, Endless Rain, Serenay Moon, Pen-i and plain art for myself!

:iconokutaws: - Check Okúta out! New page every week!
Also, if you are dutch, check out: Pen-i, a weekly (mini) webcomic!
° An AWESOME contest started: [link] -- Personify the Seasons! I want to join and I already have 3 ideas for entries :) Go check it out; the prizes are awesome!

**********************************************************************

My final draft for the manuscript (Forever Young Eternity 2: Heritage) has been accepted and it turns out the book will be even thicker than book 1! The publisher estimates a maximum prize of 31 euro's, but I truely hope it will turn out to be a lower! O.o. People already complained book 1 was expensive (24 euro's), but they were forgetting they are getting a thick book (almost 400 pages, almost A4 size; book 2 will probably have about 60-70 pages more), created by a real publisher (so it's not some back-alley-printing or so; it's quality!) and that the prizes for Dutch books is decided by the Dutch Government (Wet op vasteboekenprijs).

I can look for a cheaper publisher (but not for this one; the contract is signed so there is no way back) for the following books, like lulu.com, but the problem is that there I have to do EVERYTHING myself and I get NO ISBN, meaning it can only be sold through me or lulu.com. All bookstores, bookchains, bookwebsites... you won't be able to get it through any place else. And an ISBN is expensive... So it can be cheaper, but a lot harder to get... is that a wise choice?

Also, really annoying but on a side note: [link] seems to be down forever; lost on the word wide web. I can still access the e-mailadresses I have there, but still... all the files I had uploaded there... gone forever. Luckily I only used that account to host images for Gaia Online XP Still, I hate broken links *sighs* Oh yeah, and the new mail server is sloooooow

I rather pay a few euro's more on a published book with its own ISBN-number than pay less for a book without one. It's like an all in or out situation. I'm on your side! :)

Just because I don't comment on your work doesn't mean that I don't like it.

Sometimes silence tells more than a thousand words.
:iconkittyocean:
True, also, with this book I get everything done professionally; the printing, the layout... with lulu for example I have to do it all myself and am dependant on a machine. So it looks way better now.
They also calculated things and my book is 80 pages 'too thick' and they can't size it down (at this moment!). The extras are 30 A4 and I calculated that book 1 had about 50 pages A4 (60 pages of extras)... meaning that even if I left out all the extras, it would still be about 40 pages too thick. It wouldn't matter...even if I left them out, it would still mean the book is 'too thick'... and book 2 is still to the point XD

34 Euro's o_o I paid less money for a Tom Clancy book and that's 1500 pages in A5 and with very, very tiny letters o_O JEZUS.
Still, gz :)
:iconkittyocean:
Mine is almost A4 (so it's about 1.7 times the book you have) and has 11 pt. font (they couldn't do it smaller without it being... tiny.

Plus, your book was mass-printed. Mine is on demand; meaning that if you order is placed, it gets printed. ^_^ If I get famous, the price will (hopefully) drop a lot =D And then people would fight over me... *dreamy sighs* But for now, already 50 of the pre-order list contacted me that 31 will be worth it, because they loved book 1 a LOT XP

I was worried for nothing, I guess...

:icongreyarch:
Jus mentioning that Tom Clancy only presses enter because someone in the story is saying someone and I think it's a 10 font xD

And from what I can tell from you, the book is dafinately worht it and you'll be jumping to the number one fiction book in no time.
:iconkittyocean:
If that happens, I will draw a lot of things for people! I'd be soooo happy!! And I'd give a party =D
