My thoughts on writing
Page bread crumbs: Kevin P. Inscoe's public wiki - Writing See also My thoughts on Journaling and My thoughts on documentation. Editing and book assembly:I am just starting down this journey so my original thoughts are not much yet. I am still deciding on what technology to use to assemble my books. I have already decided I want to use Vim as my editor. I can't stand word processors like Microsoft Word. I am more fast with minimal typing and creating lots of small files which can be assembled, post-processed and typeset later by tools such as LaTeX or Docbook. For now I am going to attempt my first book in Docbook. My technical notes on Docbook. Publishing:For now I have decided to become self-published. I will make my books available as an ebook in all acceptable formats and as a PDF. See also Getting Published. The art of writing itself:Some notes I have found from various authors I respect: George Orwell's 6 Questions and 6 Rules How to get my job by Jerry Pournelle What others have said to me:Further notes:I maintain tags at http://delicious.com/KE3VIN/writing for articles on writing that I like.
