Posted project update #16The books are in! Drinks on Tuesday!
For everyone: I've got all these books! Boxes and boxes of books! So many books, in fact, that I have been storing them beneath and around my desk at work because they would take up too much space in my apartment! I am going to being the process of mailing this weekend.
For SF: If you would like to receive your books in person - that is an option you have. I'll be gathering folks together at The Gold Cane in Upper Haight on Tuesday night (4/27). I'll probably get there around say 7pm. Let me know if you can make it and I'll be sure to have your copies with me.

Posted project update #15The books are ordered! (And a surprise!)
I've got a screenshot to share with you guys: It's the thumbnail from my Lulu order form for the final printed copies of Andrew vs. The Collective. I finally finished off the formatting this weekend and, both eyes squeezed tightly shut, pressed the order button.
Now I've got a secret to share with you guys: It's the number of books I ordered. 100 copies of The Collective and 100 copies of Andrew vs. The Collective. Wait, what? The same number of both? Well, when I did my cost modeling for the project way back in January I had assumed I would just have enough money to give copies of the short stories book to the highest-contributing backers. But, much to my surprise, a little surplus appeared on my spreadsheet. Which means: everybody gets a physical copy of Andrew vs. The Collective!
So I'm awaiting the shipment and then your copies will go out after that. For Bay Area residents, I'll probably be arranging a drinks-and-distribution event if you want to obtain your books in person. Details to come.

Thanks for the update! I must admit, I'm having Andrew vs The Collective withdrawal. I find myself walking around the street as Friday noon approaches giving people sentences or settings and expecting them to entertain me with clever tales.

I think it is worth the drive to pick mine up....more details please!
Also, will you be running another batch? I was hoping to buy some as Christmas presents.
And, to echo Dan below, I too am having withdrawals, I am craving Pizza in Kathmandu. -

Posted project update #14The book comes together
Post CommentI took a weekend off. Collective, will you ever forgive me? It was glorious. It was San Francisco's first warm weekend of the year. I drove north with friends on Saturday. Sunday I went to brunch and took a long nap. If you can believe it, I didn't write a word. Not one single word. Every molecule of my being exhaled in relaxation.
That was two weekends ago. Not this weekend. This weekend I was back to the project: wrestling with MS Word formatting and Photoshop and uploading to Lulu. A regular modern day Gutenberg (Johannes, not Steve) putting words together into a consumable physical product. A book that will be titled "Andrew vs. The Collective".
All of this to say - I don't have much to report other than I'm still alive and the books are coming along. I ordered the proof copy from Lulu last night - so it should be here in a few days. Here are some pictures snapped from my computer's desktop to give you a taste of the process from this weekend. (I've made the decision to footnote all the bold submissions in print. I think it works well, but good lord is that a lot of footnotes!)

San Francisco, CA
I'm a media-creator and journalist. I've been trying to write novels since I was five years old (Hardy Boys: Case of the Pirate Treasure) but I just finished my very first one (The Collective). When I'm not excitedly hammering out first drafts or slogging through re-writes, I do online news for San Francisco-based Current TV.
I'll plan on coming to the Golden Cane.
Weeee!
