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 9 was on browser events, and is 4,331 words in length. I polished that chapter off only 4 days after Chapter 8, so if I really sit down an apply myself, great things can get done.

Incidentally, I heard from my acquisitions editor that I am 60 pages OVER my expected page count at this point. I had estimated at the beginning of the process that I would have written 141 pages up to Chapter 8. But, my total is actually at 203 pages. That's a 42% over-shoot. Damn, I suck.

Not only am I a bit behind on the schedule, I'm writing too much. For my next book, I am really (really) going to watch the page count a bit closer. I would rather be told I had to write an extra 10 or 20 pages than be told I wrote 60 bloody pages too many.

Scott
