My aspirations for my book
Yes, I want to write a book. I have wanted to be an author for several years but when I got into computers, my aspirations to be an author kinda fizzled out. In fact, I became for focused on the visual arts and my aspirations in the literary arts fell to the way side. I am sure you can understand, seeing as when we focus our energies on a trade, we abandon some of our broken dreams. It has happened to all of us, be it at the age of 11 of whenever that has happened in our life. It was also a dream of mine to relocate to California from Texas and it has been that way until I was 17, going on 18. Then I realized that California had two vital flaws. First, the rent on Californian apartments are too expensive for those with no real world experience. The prices for Californian apartments are within the 4 digit amount. In fact, here are the apartment listings from SF Bay Craigslist.
Blogging has rekindled that part of me. I love reading and I most certainly love writing. In fact, I am working on a couple of books and I seriously want to get them published. However, I am confronted with a couple of concerns, seeing as I would love to do this a certain way. I want my publisher and representation to be located OUTSIDE of the United States. However, I know that the bigger publishers and imprints are located in the United States. So, I will have to bite my tongue on this.
But there are many things I want in a publisher. I would like good representation, so my book could be made available in many book stores and malls around the world. This way, my book will be available to many people and hopefully, I can make some pretty good change on the book. I would also like love to retain full or majority ownership of the copyrights associated with my book. That is why I am going to beat my publisher to the Copyright Office that will be in my jurisdiction. In fact, I have a couple of copyright applications that I am waiting for with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. I also got my ISBN numbers from the Canadian Government several days ago and I am going to be releasing them shortly.
