People Asked me how this book was written, this is the bare essentials about the book.
Since Wandering Home is now published it’s time to reveal how it was written. I don’t think anyone writes a book alone there are other people involved. In my case because the base of Wandering Home was written in serial on the blog I had lots of people reading and giving me feedback. The book was usually written 1 or 2 chapters at a time. Some light editing done on the chapter the day after it was posted. I read the entire book after each 20 chapters. Doing light editing and corrections and changes, those changes never made it onto the blog version until I posted the first 20 chapters of the actual book When it was completed.
So some vital statistics a about the work:
Date Started 5/6/2012
Date the last chapter was posted 8/23/2012
The primary writing took 109 days though I did take a 2 week hiatus in between each part.
Date of completion of the final edited version 9/4/2012
Copyright Registration 9/5/2012
Final publication date 12/2/2012
