The book took three years to write. It's almost 400 pages, each page becoming ten pagesin the thing. To force myself to write, i ended up actually buying a separate computer where i only had my writing ap ulysses m installed. I blocked all my favorite websides and used child proof tools on which you can turn on to like block yourself from viewing different websides. So anyway, so after a couple of years of that, i'm very happy to be done and to have the he bookout in the world. And it comes out a december seventh, so i'm very excited.
