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.

The fortunate thing about being 42% too long is that I get to be brief where it really counts. Chapter 10 was on frames, and to be honest, I don't know why I wrote a whole chapter on that one topic. It could have been a few pages appended to another chapter.

Anyways, I was able to get away with 20 manuscript pages and 4,449 words. Yes, even when I need to be brief I can still spit out 20 pages.

I. Can't. Be. Brief. Must. Control. Typing. Fingers. Of. Death.

I haven't submitted Chapter 10 yet, but I am already working on Chapter 11 (DOM). That chapter could have been one of the longest of the book if I allowed it to be. I'm going to try and keep it under 30 pages. And I'm going to try to have it done for new years day.

Scott
