Ted, if I may interject, I suggest you're getting your media
priorities a bit mixed up. Publishing these days does not necessarily
involve producing a book. If someone wants a hard copy, then you run
them off on an 'on demand' basis at a reasonable price.
Your main audience is already here, waiting for the Tedishi's pearls
of wisdom. I'm looking forward to the bit on astral travel... :-) Do
I use a tripod or a monopod, and what about the 'swishy pan'? :-)
Nathan's already made a sensible and useful first step in gathering
the sayings of Ted together.
There's nothing stopping you publishing these in your own blog, and
I'm sure Nathan would give you a few pointers, judging by his own
excellent effort and his own area of expertise.
Obviously it would be helpful to include samples of your work to
illustrate the very relevant points you make.
Just a thought.
