Further to reading this interesting article about self-publishing eBooks I have been giving serious thought to publishing my last novel, The End Of All Worlds, as an eBook, or more precisely a serialisation of eBooks. The book is neatly divided up into six parts so this would be quite a good fit. To this end, I have experimented this weekend with making eBooks and have created a one that works on my Kindle. However, at this point I was faced with a new dilemma…
Reading it back on the Kindle for the first time in several years, and with the benefit of having been writing in the past tense whilst working on Mr Tumnal, I am struck with how much better The End Of All Worlds could be if I was to convert it to past tense. I have attempted a few pages and it seems okay, but the prospect of converting 299 further pages of present tense pages, does somewhat fill me with horror. A major revision in the history of this particular novel if there was one!
