How to Set a Publishing Date

For your information: My goal is to publish the book on December 16, as a tribute to the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773.

How do you set the publishing date for your forthcoming book?

I have now 9 months to finish the book, edit it, etc.

How would you break down the writing and editing process in manageable pieces? Which milestones do you see during this period of time?

I will continue to use a tool called BlankPage.io, in order to do some writing on a daily basis.

I have been talking with author, Réal Laplaine, on how to write and market the book, Tea For The Win.

Tea For The Win Book

From my post, Create Space for My Upcoming Book:

My book journey will be covered in a new online journal (weblog).

I have a challenge in order to get forward with the book... I have to start to write! ;) And I have to come up with a solution to create a combo of a fable, manifesto and textbook on tea. Which category will fit the book?

My goal is to publish the book on December 16, 2014, as a tribute to the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773.

I look forward to your book writing tips! :)

(EgoSoleTrader.com, December 1, 2013.)

As you could see, I have now started my new blog for my upcoming book, Tea For The Win. I am working on a subtitle...

You will be able to follow along the book project with the hashtag, #teaFTWbook. I have been using the hashtag, #teaFTW for some time now.

In order to start the writing process, I have ordered the following:

The Writing Process by Peter Schwartz

Writing: A Mini-Course by Leonard Peikoff

As an inspiration for my fable with a twist, I have ordered the Kindle Single book, Tea Party Fairy Tales by James Finn Garner.

I will go through the APE (Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur) book and the Social Media Club in Gothenburg's session on self-publishing.

I will also re-read The Art of Fiction: A Guide for Writers and Readers by Ayn Rand.

I will reach out to Chris Reimer and ask him about his new book...

Some things that I have to "chew" and want to discuss with you:

How to write an outline (intro., fable, tea tips, manifesto...)?

How to illustrate the book? John Cox is the man!

How to set the price of the book? $17.73 for the printed book? The price of a cup of tea at Starbucks for the e-book?

How could you use guerrilla marketing?

What kind of writing tools do you use (notebook, mobile app, writing software, etc.)?
