@cstross @ckeen I guess I'm a bit spoiled by mostly reading a lot of self-pub these days (and I'm completely aware of all the drawback with that and are not arguing that anyone should turn to that). It is nice to se that a book is finished and knowing it will appear within weeks and not years ...
@afewbugs Thank you! I'll keep you posted, although my process is never fast. Probably about two years per novel from idea to completion, and this one is only just past the idea stage. :)
@cstross and I was wondering for the past thirty years why the Hobbits talk about food and meals half of the time in LotR, but they never take a shit even once!
