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 at 12,600 words over 43 pages. That seems like an awful lot of writing, and it is.

Chapters 3 and 4 are being written by my co-author. I don't have to give the contents of them much thought, other than to make sure I am not repeating something in Chapter 5 that has already been said.

I've started writing Chapter 5, and it is coming along much easier. I really, really (no, seriously--really) want to have it done before the end of the week. That will get me a inch closer to being on schedule. As it is now, I am 10 days behind! Yes, that's as bad as it sounds.

Currently, Chapter 5 is 18 pages and 3500 words. That was about the average length of a chapter in my last book. In this one, it's called "barely begun". ;)

Onward and upward,
Scott
