If you're stumbled upon this place, I congratulate you, reader.
The name's Max Hadeln. I am a human being, and I have a plan.
A Plan? You may ask yourself.
Yes. A Plan. I will most certainly respond.
For years now, I've written dozens of short stories and come up with the foundation of what I had always hoped of turning into complete novels/novellas. The problem is: I haven't had the time nor the determination necessary to go through with it. I've always started, completing a few chapters, but ultimately giving up before I could complete anything worthwhile.
So here's my solution.
I'm going to finally write a book. Most likely a novella, spanning anywhere between zero and a hundred pages. I don't plan to go beyond that mark, but it is a possibility. With the time that I have to write this book from beginning to end, however, I don't really think it's possible writing that much without completing a mediocre piece.
Now for the very limited details.
The novella is going to be more of a compilation of short stories than anything, with every short story connected to one another. These connections won't only go as far as themes and messages, these connections will be skin-deep, and will involve characters being related to one another. All of this sounds like one big mess, but let's just say for the sake of having faith in oneself - it's not all that complicated.
I've already started planning things out. Normally, when I plan out a novel or anything bigger than a short story, the plans get buried underneath more interesting things on my desk like the plans for my next greatest idea. Not this time. I will succeed this time around.
When do I plan on starting this book? Monday morning.
Why Monday morning? You may ask.
To which I would and will respond, Just because.
Not the most clever of answers. But I do start march break on Monday, so I find it's more than appropriate to make use of the free time I'm going to have during the week. More details, such as title and whatnot, will be arriving closer to release.
At his point - all I have are plans. By Monday I will be putting these plans into motion.
The best part? By the weekend I'll be in the editing stages.
The next best part? By the next week I'll have the book published in it's entirety the very next Monday, March 12, 2012.
So keep your eyes peeled, because before you know it, this thing is going to be available!
Thanks for reading,
Max
