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.

I submitted Chapter 6 at 4,750 words a couple of days ago. Despite how easy the topic was (HTML Basics), it took me a couple of weeks to write. I spent several nights and at least one weekend staring at the computer monitor, not knowing what to say. The funny thing is, I have been writing about some other topics recently (XML), and I have no trouble pumping out a couple thousand words for that in one sitting.

Maybe it's the topic that's the problem.

Or maybe it's just me.

Chapter 7 will begin tonight. Cross-Browser scripting. It's going to be hard coming up with content for that one -- in hindsight, perhaps it doesn't deserve to be an entire chapter. But it will give me lots of opportunity for screen shots and stuff.

Scott
