The Little Book of Sham

Anyone who thinks that writing a book is the hard part is in for a shock when they try and get it published. In my case I decided from the beginning that I would publish it myself so I knew that no matter how hard it would be to actually write it, that at least I knew it would actually be published.

The hard bit would be writing it. Or so I imagined.

Stephen King says that writing is the "Application of the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair". And Stephen King knows what he is talking about. To date he has written 55 novels and hundreds of short stories.

Well writing it was difficult.

Even a short humorous book of aphorisms like my book, "The Little Book of Sham". The title is a pun on the best selling Little Book of Calm, but I suppose it's not much of a pun if I have to explain it.

The book was just based on the kind of thoughts that pass through my head on a regular basis when I am usually supposed to be doing something, often housework. It is a collection of thoughts and realisations, hopefully witty and amusing which I decided to record and publish as "The Little Book of Sham".

But if writing it was difficult then actually publishing was even more of a effort and I am a man who does not like effort.

Once you have written a book it must be edited, then formatted and designed, then there's a cover to design, ISBNs to register and all of this takes time and money.

In order to publish my book I needed to raise €450 to pay for the above and some copies of the book for copyright registration, publicity and criticism.

For that reason I am asking you to help support me! Visit http://fundit.ie/my/project_manage/help-publish-the-little-book-of-sham
