I recently took a few moments to reflect on the writing process and answer some questions from my publisher.
Here are some excerpts:
Packt: How did you find the overall experience of writing your book for Packt?
Michael:Writing is a somewhat lonely proposition, but I enjoyed the time alone with my thoughts, the Scratch cat, and stack of blocks. This loneliness doesn’t last forever and when I opened my box of newly printed books; it was almost akin to watching the birth of my son Cameron.
Packt: Our authors usually have full-time jobs whilst writing for us. Was this the case for you and how did you approach managing your time?
Michael: I estimate that I spent between 10 and 20 hours a week writing this book, which includes all the non-writing time, such as research, project planning, and editing. I feel smarter for not having spent that time drowning in reality television.
