Finally my masterpiece!". The whole publication process was another whole year, but ultimately I'd say it was worth it. I'd recommend self-publishing to any author now that the technology makes it so you don't have to have 10,000 copies of a book nobody wants under your bed @_@ A lot of people look down at it still, but really after clocking a year and a half in a bookstore I realized that even if I got Doubleday to publish my stuff ... no one was going to buy it anyway XD So if I was going to be a loser writer no one reads, I might as well be a loser writer no one reads with complete editorial control hahaha. And no serious publishing company was ever going to let me "ruin" the book with the formatting I wanted. :)

seme Silver 2,736 points	on 03/19/07 at 08:29 PM Yes :)   Although to be honest it was done by a friend for LJ (I was just feeling like the profile here was a bit naked) and I had never heard of Belle & Sebastian before I went "Oooo Pretty!"

Nick Miller Noble Orange 22,566 points	on 02/07/07 at 12:21 PM I just wanted to let you know that I really dug your Czech piece, the writing style, the insight, everything.  It's cool to have another good writer on board here.
seme Silver 2,736 points	on 02/05/07 at 01:35 PM Just six months so far, but I love it so I'll probably be here for another year and a half at least :D
