I always give my new books away for at least 24 hours.
My new book is free and you can get it at Amazon:
Fiction Writer's Fire Starter[^]
Summary
Learn fiction writing techniques as I walk you through analysis of 26 excerpts from published books (from authors like John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Ernest Hemingway, Alan Dean Foster and many more).
Even if you aren't going to write fiction you may like the analysis of the excerpts.
No Kindle Device? You Can Still Read
Even if you don't have a Kindle device or pad or iphone or whatever, you can read the book in your browser.
Yes, Fiction Writing
I know this is generally a progrmaming forum, but the lounge is for anything.
Also, I've discovered that quite a few software developers also like to write fiction.
Maybe you'll give it a go.

I am planning to write a book using a really big font.
Should get it done quicker that way.

And you can get a short story out to novel thickness without having to be Dan Brown!

na the best one is to write a full novel then keep re-releasing it with different character names (worked for Clive Cussler and John Grisham to mention two)

But you couldn't look away from the mirror long enough to get your word processor going, right?

Haha, That is funny, because I know nothing about British money. I thought I was making up the 3-pence.

How about music?
Over the 20 years I've been developing software I've also found that a large percentage of Software Developers are also musicians and were often Music Majors in college before earning a living using a computer.

Thank you for the book. 
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.
