Today I Published A Book
It Took Me About Two Hours
Introduction
I have been thinking of doing this for a while. By their nature thoughtpieces are short and put absolutely no pressure on the reader.
The speed of this even shocked me.
The music is meant to reflect the speed of production not the content of the book.
Thoughtpieces
I came up with the idea for thoughtpieces three months ago and then continued writing them and will continue to do so in the future.
The content of the book is three months work, but putting it together was done this afternoon.
I then thought that people might like something to relax them, like ambient music or many other things and for each scenario I imagined I wrote a thoughtpiece.
Today I gathered them together and put them into the Kindle Creation software, and taught myself some new production methods resulting in the Kindle ebook being on sale now. The paperback is still waiting for approval.
All the stories are available for free on Vocal and if you click through to Amazon you can read some of the book for free. YOu may have to track it down on your own Amazon store.
I will make it available as a free download when Amazon let me, but it is not very expensive, although it is only 34 pages, which may be why it didn't take long to put together.
Conclusion
I am quite proud of myself for doing this.
Thank you for reading.
This is the concept behind thoughtpieces.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of usβ¦ my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the dayβs oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along β apace with a sloth β has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Wow that is very exciting for you! I published a book as well, so I know the feeling! Congrats!!
Congratulations Mike - that is a good effort.
A few months to write though. Congrats on the new book. ππ
Congratulations! I had no idea it could be done so quickly, it is quite surprising!
Great stuff! For some reason, I thought the book was going to include an integrated playlist. Something to listen to while reading the thought pieces. Maybe that's just because you include music with most of your other writing. Either way, could be a nice addition and a way to set it apart from other books. I'm sure you have a few songs in mind already π
Wooohooooo congratulations Mike! ππππππ
Well, congratulations Mr. Singleton! Love the cover. It is a good feeling to publish a book.
