Hi there. My name is Scott Duffy, and welcome to my book writing log. I have documented the process of writing my last two books on this site, and have started my third. This book will be called Visual Studio Team System In Action, and should be available in 2005.

Chapter 2 was submitted to the publisher on Monday at 8,600 words. I am fairly happy with it. It's the technical foundation for the rest of the book. How solid a foundation it may be is a different question - there may be a couple of cracks. Hopefully the reviewer will come back with some good feedback.

I am still editing Chapter 1 - basically, deleting half of it, and adding a few pages of new content. Much happier with the new Chapter 1 than the one I originally submitted. Rock solid.

Writing is not going well on Chapter 3 -- well, not yet. I am kind of distracted by a few things (some stuff is happening at work, editing of Chapter 1, etc.) But I already have 5 pages done (1200 words), and should be able to pump out 10-15 pages today and tonight if I get into a groove. Finishing it up on the weekend, and submitting the third installment on Monday.

I had a dream last night, that I wrote a killer screenplay and was trying to sell it to all of the major Hollywood producers. Essentially, I was able to walk up to them when they're having lunch, and get them to agree to read my screenplay. I wonder if it is that easy in real life.
