I am working on my first manuscript intended for publication.
you know which one it is.
The Jupiter Dragon Went to the Sun.

I will copyright it officially once it is done, polished, and I am satisfied that it is perfect.
Then I will go for the self-publishing route.
The cost for an on demand paperback copy will be relatively cheap.
This is about making sure nothing gets lost.
That I finish my work and leave a record that can be accessed later by anyone who cares to read it.

Not about making money.
Not about winning any prizes.
Or getting invited to any lectures.

I need to write, because I have something to say.
It is important to me.
If I fail to do this…
I will have failed to accomplish my Mission…
And I will die… unhappy.

I would rather not go out that way.
