You can strip if you want, but I'm remaining fully clothed. I hope you can bear the disappointment! :D<BR/><BR/>And I'm afraid you malapropped elsewhere, too: "eventually involve in to the look of my blog today." That's "evolve into", pls. ;p<BR/>And "...which they are still accessable there today." is garbled. (and misspelled.) <BR/><BR/> "...where they are still accessible" says it all. <BR/><BR/>However, content is king, and judging by your string of blogs and experiences, you'd have a winner.Brian Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895289104798325252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864773858016511481.post-46602784072841365392008-04-02T16:04:00.000-05:002008-04-02T16:04:00.000-05:00Glad you are home.

Sounds like you went with my son because he is with the 82nd and returned the same Wednesday two weeks ago. Don't know much about writing so all I can say is don't give up your dream. Been good to read you, keep something going here so us old guys can buy a copy of that book!<BR/><BR/>G-d Bless and Thanks.ABNPOPPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790538722982753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864773858016511481.post-4299033871642402302008-04-02T16:01:00.000-05:002008-04-02T16:01:00.000-05:00Try contacting Matt Burden of Blackfive fame.

Glad you are back safe and sound. Your writ...Hello. Glad you are back safe and sound. Your writing is very good. Look into the publishing companies of other recent war & military books. You can look up the publisher's telephone number via an online search. Call them and ask to be connected to the editor of their specific military book. Make sure you are calling the right publisher to the coorect corresponding book. Try to get in touch with an editor directly. Then you can Q&A and find out what their Protocol is for accepting a proposal on a new military book. You may find that your material is so current that you don't have any problem getting through. Be careful to protect all your own writing and don't sign anything until you have it reviewed by your own attorney. Good luck.

Look at Writer's Digest to find agents who handle authors writing in your field (which is presumably non-fiction/biography).<BR/><BR/>3. The biggest trick to writing a book is organization. Will it be just about your 15 month tour, or about your entire time in the Army? Fortunately, since it's autobiographical, you will most likely be organizing it chronologically, so you just need to to assemble your posts, clean them up, and fill in the appropriate connecting text.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241308007788157341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864773858016511481.post-80692488294355668442008-03-26T08:41:00.000-05:002008-03-26T08:41:00.000-05:00I am not a lawyer and I do not play one on TV but ...I am not a lawyer and I do not play one on TV but I would suggest you immediately look into copywriting everything you have written.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure what rights if any are given up by posting on the web.<BR/><BR/>Get some legal help.<BR/><BR/>EWODADTonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549458337961442906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864773858016511481.post-63571759770840148742008-03-25T13:28:00.000-05:002008-03-25T13:28:00.000-05:00The Thunder Run has linked to this post in the blo...The Thunder Run has linked to this post in the blog post <A HREF="http://thunderrun.blogspot.com/2008/03/from-front-03252008.html" REL="nofollow">From the Front: 03/25/2008 </A> News and Personal dispatches from the front lines.David Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153191536633461987noreply@blogger.com
