This has been an exciting week for me. My book \u201cEveryday NFC: Near Field Communication Explained<\/a>\u201d has been released at Amazon in both printed and eBook versions. My excitement has run me for the whole week. I always wanted to write a book and now my dream has come true.<\/p>\n It was an intensive time for two months prior to the release, the time and energy spent on writing, editing and formatting was significant. Luckily, I love to write and have two editors who are close to me and patiently worked with me to hit the milestone. Formatting was my job. I wouldn\u2019t mind to hire help but I had a deadline to meet and couldn\u2019t afford the turn-around time. So I did. It was actually a good process to go through since the knowledge will serve me a long way; for example, I can update my eBook anytime now. I also hired a Pakistan artist from\u00a0Elance to draw sketches for me. I am happy with\u00a0his work.\u00a0\u201cThe World is Flat<\/a>\u201d as described by Thomas L Friedman\u00a0has been\u00a0demonstrated by the global services provided by Elance<\/a>.<\/p>\n Create Space<\/a> and Kindle store make self-publishing quite easy and there is no set-up fee.<\/p>\n Three important points:<\/p>\n Do you love to write and want to publish? \u00a0Then as Nike would say \u201cJust do it”!<\/p>\n\n
