Step 33: Come Up With An Idea?

Shit. I'm loathe to do this -- again, it's the deal that matters to me; the actual content of the book is sort of a necessary evil -- but it seems like I'm going to have to come up with an idea of some kind. Why? Well, my metaphorical doors haven't exactly been kicked down by literal publishers, that's why. My guess is that they're hung up on the fact that so far there's no sign of anything that anyone would be interested in. Fucking traditionalists.

So please, do your part. Come up with some great book ideas and add them in the comments. I'll credit you in the foreword or something.

Step 25: Help The Confused

Reluctantly, I feel obligated to respond to the disturbingly large amount of people who have expressed significant confusion as to what exactly this blog is. Many people don't "understand what the hell this thing is supposed to be".

So I'll be adding a "Frequently Asked Question" page, as soon as I figure out how to do that (or until one of my blogger/readers just tells me, which would be the best case scenario). For now, I think my first post says it the best, and it doesn't require any additional work for me:

"Lots of people make internet money by getting book deals based on their blogs. I can type legibly, so I figure I can probably blog. But what about? After nearly a week of intermittent thinking, I came up with an idea, with the help of my wife, who sort of was the one who came up with the idea: The blog will be about my efforts to get a book deal based on this blog."

Still flummoxed? Try starting from the aforementioned first post and reading GMABD backwards, i.e. sequentially/chronologically, for a more book-like experience. That should clear things up.
