"Top of the moring to ya."

This is the deadline to finish the Novel, and folks I'm on fire but it tain't done. And that's OK. I'm so happy to be in this world and doing all this cool stuff that it doesn't matter.

I found a cool website today, http://www.jimbenton.com/ check it out.

He invented Happy Bunny and wrote a series of novels about a little missy named Franny K. Stein a mad scientist with fantastic purple hair.

I really enjoyed hanging out in his website because he offered a lot of information about how he makes his books. Plus it looks like he's having a lot of fun doing it.

Now even though I'm not done writing my novel there is still work to be done. Here are the first 5 steps to publishing your own book.

1. Subscribe to Publisher's weekly
2. Get an ABI form (advanced Book information form) and a ISBN (international Standard Book Number)
3. Get letterhead designed
4. Join SPAN Small Business Association of North America
5. Research the market place. Thus finding Jim Benton

I found all this out in the book The Complete Guide to Self Publishing by Tom & Marilyn Ross

Because I like YOU.
