This page is where I plan to post updates as the book comes nearer to being ready for release. Stay tuned!
Here's an update for 2020. My goal last year was to release this book, and while I sent it out to about 20 publishers, I also took up postgraduate schooling that was extremely demanding for somebody with no prior technical degree, so my attention was drawn away from being able to entirely dedicate myself to this project. I'm looking to change that this year, so I'd like to share the first three chapters (plus an updated prologue). It's a hearty amount to put online, but it's what I send to publishers when I pitch my book, so I'm completely alright with sharing this with anyone and everyone. I began this project because of an experience that I could relate through these soldiers and their stories paired with a newfound fondness for writing, so it's a very personal piece for me. Frankly, it's quite challenging putting myself so out there with something so transparent in how I find myself thinking. Regardless, I'm always accepting of any comments ...
Hello, everybody! As the title suggests, I have recently completed quite possible the biggest milestone of writing this book, which is quite exciting! This means I will begin revising it in preparation for its release. To celebrate, I've decided to re-release my freshly proofread copy of the prologue, which can be read here . It's neither terribly new nor fully complete, but I tried to consolidate it a bit in order to make it easier to understand. Also, in the next coming weeks, I will be releasing tiny bits of the book via some quotes. Hopefully, it will help you get an understanding of who the characters are, what they're about, and what's going on around them. I'm pumped to start doing this, as it signalises that it is time to switch efforts from just writing this book into creating hype! All in all, I hope you all enjoy the book, and if you're even half as excited as I am about it, I'm sure you'll like it. Thanks for the support so far, everyo...
Dear fans, As many of you may know, All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque is a key influence to my book. Being as much of an inspiration as it was, I set its word count as my goal, as 61,922 words. I am delighted to announce that I had recently made it past my goal for the word count! There are only a few more chapters left, and I expect to finish the first draft of this book this week! To celebrate, when the book is finished, I will start extracting quotes from parts of the book I think are neat, and sharing them with all of you. Shout-out to all of you for the support, particularly to my mom for consistently finding a way to call me during the most intense moments for writing. Stay tuned! -Benjamin
