The book with the beats is not very long. I know that he plans to publish it, but am not sure where. He's still working on it. He asked for input a while ago, whether people would be interested in something like that, who would want to read the draft, and, you know me: memememe... He sent me his draft, I found a few typoes and incinsistencies, told him about it and that's how I know all this. I like the idea and what's in there. It has categories, like anger, fear etc., and lists phrases that can be used as beats. He's compiled them for himself, got quite a collection, and thought this might be useful for others, too. I think it is. That sounds like it would be really useful! Yes, I saw something on his blog about getting feedback on a cover, so hopefully it will come out soon. And.... I'll put it on my wish list on Amazon along with the other 17 writing craft books and 230 regular reading books that I have on my wish lists there. (Sigh)

He is a writer and of course promotes his own books through all the means we regularly read about on advice threads for indie authors. But he is a very friendly and approachable person, and often posts, or has guest posts, about writing advice. The book with the beats is not very long. I know that he plans to publish it, but am not sure where. He's still working on it. He asked for input a while ago, whether people would be interested in something like that, who would want to read the draft, and, you know me: memememe... He sent me his draft, I found a few typoes and incinsistencies, told him about it and that's how I know all this. I like the idea and what's in there. It has categories, like anger, fear etc., and lists phrases that can be used as beats. He's compiled them for himself, got quite a collection, and thought this might be useful for others, too. I think it is. Update -- I'm following his blog now. He seems pretty cool. I was hoping to see that the Perfect Beat book was published, but the last posts about it were in April asking for reader feedback on cover ideas. I commented that I voted for just wanting to see what was inside, and he offered to send me a draft of the book. What a nice guy! He didn't ask for feedback, although I have found some problems with the table of contents versus the actual order and page numbers of chapters, so I'll let him know. It really is a pretty interesting book! More of a reference book than a craft book, I get that now.
