Pretty much a full skeleton written and all my topics organised/ordered.. now I've just got to do a fuck load of research on the bits I'm not sure about and get to the writing properly.
Buzzing a bit this morning... I was a bit overawed with the idea of how much I'm trying to cover, but now I've got everything sketched out it's looking pretty straight forward. Just need to put in the hours...
*closes work Excel, opens Word*
whats the book about if you dont mind me asking ?
Course I don't..
Working title/tagline is "Breaking In The Apeman: An evolved discussion of Man's experience, survival and responsibilities within society and beyond" but that may well change a little bit.
It's intended to be a layman's history of social evolution in order to give the reader a sense of being an animal "broken in" to the environment of its own/peers/ancestors creation (society)... fair bit of biology/evolution, bit of political history, bit of economics, bit of psychology... hopefully not
too much rambling. Hopefully a fairly light/accessable tone... I don't want to write a textbook, it's supposed to be fun. How did we get here? Why do we act like this? Why bother with society in the first place? Why does it so often feel a bit.....
weird?
For months I've been panicking that I'd bitten off more than I could chew, but now I've sketched out everything I want to cover it's not that daunting. Just got to stay organised and keep my fingers typing for the next however-many-months.
