This is my book, laid out for the first time, in forty-seven chapters/themes.pic.twitter.com/l3Z7IO5q8u
This feels petrifying (I’m basically looking at 47 blank pages instead of the usual one), but also I’m incredibly excited about it.
I can see it all, now, for the first time ever. I see a chronological spine, interspersed with excursions in all sorts of fun directions.
Tell me you wouldn’t read a book with chapters named: “Mr. Kildall goes flying” “Sixty monkeys per second” “Accidental Vulcan nerve pinch”
Writing, writing, writing… It’s like the biggest puzzle I ever tried to solve. This is example metadata for a chapter I just finished.pic.twitter.com/onbkSoUpj2
The chapter about arrow keys has Moon landing in it. The one about keylogging will start with Sully landing the plane in the Hudson.
This has been of my favourite parts of writing so far – making the kinds of connections I suspect no one’s made before.
Thanks! I am learning about book publishing, still. Goal is to finish writing this year.
Will know more realistic deadlines and ETA in a few months, I hope.
