I only published half the book as it was about 300 pages too long. If you can believe it, I have three other unpublished books, which had I invested in them also, I would have to build a new addition on our house to just contain all the boxes of unsold books. Is that a bad investment, or what!?!

Or is a bad investment part of a bad judgment. 

Perhaps I overestimated my potential as an author ...in a big way. Maybe I feel I have something to say, but have no real ability to say it well.  

And speaking of too long, if you commit to reading this, (and/or this:  http://thispartisnotfunyetseemsnecessary.blogspot.com/) you will have an example of what I'm trying to say. 

There may be many reasons why I'm doing this, but the reason I'm choosing a blog instead of a print copy ...well, the computer stores this kind of information in a much more efficient way than my attic.
