Now even you lowly peasants can buy my book – or download it for free.

Every year I independently publish copies of my book through Lulu.com for novel purposes, mostly to show them off,but also because having a bound book is much neater than printing out 10,000 double-spaced pages for editing. Usually, I’m not proud enough of my novel to say that I’m willing to distribute it this way to the masses. But I decided that, this time, I might as well make it privately available – meaning it cannot be found through a Lulu.com search, but through the following link only. Since you can already read the novel here on my blog, there’s no point in hiding a much cleaner version.

The Lulu.com version is pocket-size, 4.25 x 6.825 inches. It is free to download (PDF) and$13.13 to buy. When you buy it, a little bit of that price goes to me – think of it as fuel for me to write more novels in the future. ;)

Naturally, this is a completely unedited manuscript. It’s not great. It’s got typos, and passive voice, and all sorts of icky yuckiness. But, if you want it, it’s there. I’ll be showing off my copies to my peers, because I can.

Oh, and please appreciate the wonderful cover + back cover, and the amazing fake NYT Book Review quotes.

Thanks for watching, kiddies. It was great fun. I truly enjoyed writing Spawn, more than anything in the world. I hope you enjoy the ending.

So… tired… chorus really wipes you out once you’ve finished singing for two hours straight and done all of your schoolwork.

So, I have to do 5000/day now every day until the end of NaNoWriMo. Which might be a little crazy, considering I expect this to go a little bit above 100,000 words (possibly a few thousand). I’ll write until I can’t write no more! I’ll be bringing my laptop now with a copy of Spawn throughout school, and will write at every change I get. This is Jason waging war on his word count – it’s time to get to 100,000! Four days to do it.

With that said… Word Count: 80,147

I have a very good reason for not writing much tonight, and putting me behind even further (now I need to do 5 nights of 5000 all over again). I went out to the movies, and came home tired. That’s all I got. I have no energy drinks to keep me up. But I will do whatever it takes to get those five days of 5000 in. I won’t lose NaNoWriMo. I will win. I win every year.

I also need to research a bit more about Srinagar. Look at some photos, learn some of the culture, some of the background. I wanted some time to do that as well before jumping completely into it. So, Hemmings has only just entered Srinagar at the end of this writing while I do s’more research on the place.
