Betsy Devine: Funny ha-ha and/or funny peculiar

This is a project that’s moved with lightning speed, from meeting Dorian Devins in June to the mass of proofs now on our dining room table.

They’re beautiful.

I’m in shock.

And World Scientific has made everything so easy.

Is there a book deal in the future of your blog? In my case, of course, it helped to be married to Frank…but, the way it all happened is something others could clone. It was much easier than what
Biz Stone describes in his (excellent) “How to Get a Book Deal with Your Blog.”

When Dave Winer was in town, I was telling him that, for every blog that is in itself raw material for a whole book, there must be 100 that would be a good half-book, quarter-book, or maybe 2-per-cent-book. (Don’t you think that any book about Google would be better if it included the counterpoint of Dave’s blog acerbities, just for instance?)

Does your blog have a future as part of a book? What book? Tell me! In fact, tell the world!

Anyway, I’ll be blogging my further adventures with Fantastic Realities.
