Tomorrow is the beginning of my SoFoBoMo project. I’m looking forward to getting started finally. It will be a good day to start, because I will have completed my tests this week at school. I’m stuck with three exams between today and tomorrow, so it will be a nice opportunity to blow off some steam. I’m not sure if I’ll start making photos tomorrow or not though. I have a lot of groundwork to do before I’ll be ready to deal with photos. I need to get some paperwork ready to hand out and then do the basic book design. I would like to write a short introduction to use in the book as well. I’ll have to think about that a little tonight maybe…
A front and rear cover image isn’t something I have thought about yet either… Hmmm… I guess there is a lot of work to be done :)
I have decided to separate my SoFoBoMo project into a separate blog. If anyone is interested in following my progress on this project, the new blog site for it is here:
On that site, I have also listed the other known participants in the blogroll…
I have spent a great deal of time thinking about this project, and I have made a few decisions. First of all, I do have my theme chosen and a game plan for executing it. I’ll be starting my project on either April 15 or May 1 due to my school schedule this semester. If I start on April 1, I’ll have to complete it before the end of April and it will be butting up against semester exams at the end, and I can’t deal with that. I need to take advantage of the semester break for a project like this. I’ll also have to manage my time more effectively in order to get things done on time anyway. I won’t be sharing my project theme until the project is complete.
My final product will be a PDF file to share online and a printed book. I plan to use CreateSpace as my publish on demand service for this book. The book will be an 8.25 x 8.25 paperback, but the advantage of using this particular service is that I can make the book available to anyone who wants a copy through amazon.com. Self publishing options are getting better as time goes by, but I still haven’t found an optimum solution that I can afford just yet…

Friday afternoon, I was reading Gordon McGregor’s blog the other day, I stumbled across an interesting post that led me to the SoFoBoMo project on Paul Butzi’s blog. I’m not going to re-hash what was written in these two posts, but I think the concept is interesting and I plan to participate. I’m currently thinking about what I plan to do for the project, and I recommend checking it out. Hopefully it will inspire me to self-publish more book projects in the future…
