Phait Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Using a word processor, start a compendium that goes behind the scenes of the album - if you wrote a journal during the process, include it in the compendium, along with an introduction, notes on the album, written material/miscellanea you haven't used, thank yous etc. Then, if you have a word processor that exports to PDF ( www.openoffice.org ) - export it to PDF and have it available online for "fans", etc. I'm doing this for mine and having a few copies printed (one for myself, best friend and mother) - and the PDF online for those interested. I think it'd be a fun thing to look back on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowbell Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 That's an awesome idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMotherShouldKnow Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 The only down-side about this idea Phait is that it will take as much work to do the compendium as it will to do the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phait Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 Not really - the journals are written during the process and I just add 'em to the PDF as I go. I'm working on the contents page right now. I'd say the journals are the bulk of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Buckley Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yup, I`ve been doing that now for over 2 years. I also have a documentary that could be purchased for an additional $5 - $10 for about 90 minutes. (Still deciding on a price) My album which will be released on 2/8/05 will have 10 songs on it and 10 minutes of enhanced CD for $10. More bang for the buck. Good songs, visual and audio entertainment. A Website will be launced in January 2005. I`ll keep you all posted and will make the announcement when all ducks are lined up. www.ErnestBuckley.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phait Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 This is really, fun, I've been playing around with Open Office' border/background attributes for paragraphs... I can't wait till they're printed either: http://www.thecarbonflaw.com/book/book.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosh Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Tell me man,.. When you write a book,do you fisrt write the front and backcover and make up all the chapters and titles of the chapters? Or do you simply start writing and edit later? Fan, nu pissar jag taggtråd igen.
