Hell yeah, this book is a project. As they say, it’s not about one book, it’s about me setting up a lifelong career as an author. And that’s actually the real project, but for now, I’m focused on making a splash with Quanology: Evolution & You<\/em>. I’ve got the essay The Gene-ish Self<\/em> along for the ride as a little sidekick. It was not accepted into the Amazon Kindle Singles program, so I’m making lemonade with it and using it as an additional book to be sold an Amazon.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ve set up an Asana account to manage all the steps a bit better. Sometimes I think half my time is spent making lists of what I have to do. I’m sure that won’t go away, but hopefully using Asana will help.<\/p>\n

So, Asana is free for teams of up to 15 people. I’m a 1 man team, so no problems there. It lets you create projects, sections, and tasks. It’s all very intuitive and I didn’t have to spend 5 seconds reading any instructions.<\/p>\n

\"Asana\"<\/a>

This is what my new Asana looks like<\/p><\/div>\n

Being a self-publishing author means doing everything yourself. To be honest, I like it that way.\u00a0But\u00a0since I’m new to all this, a lot of the hard part is\u00a0determining exactly what to do. For now, this looks like a solid set of tasks. I wish I could share all this with other people, and just as much wish I could see what other authors are up to.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
