Step 21: Casually Set Up A Meeting With A Book Publisher

Shit. Shit.

So I know someone who's sort of high-ish up at a major book publishing company. I sort of non-chalantly, off-handedly, repeatedly begged her to meet with me about this project. For some reason, she accepted. We'll be meeting on Monday.

SHIT! SCRAMBLE! CRAP!

Just so you know, I may need to re-write this entire blog over the weekend to make it even remotely worth purchasing. Honestly, there's no time, and I have nothing to say or offer -- I'll probably have to just cut and paste a few weeks worth of a cool blog like Stereogum or LifeHacker or LobeHacker.

I'll worry about the abject copyright infringement later. The important thing is to get a book deal, the rest will take care of itself.

Pray for me. If you're an atheist, find God, then pray for me. Thx xo.

Step 15: Assume Success

At this point, it's pretty obvious that I'm gonna get a book deal in like 10 minutes. The time has come to start designing said book. Let's do this.

First off, the title will be Give Me A Book Deal, The Book About The Blog About My Efforts To Get A Book Deal Based on That Blog. Duh.

The other brilliant thing I came up with is that it'll be two books in one. How?!?!?? You'll be able to read it reverse-chronologically, like the blog, or you can flip it over and read it backwards, i.e. chronologically, so it's more book-like. Like the pages are printed on both sides. I know. That's some sexy value right there.

Publishers, the longer you wait, the higher the price goes. I'm just saying.
