This year I already did 2 major things (an art project and a book publication) and before the year is over, I will have done at least two more things.

Trying non-fiction
17 months ago
I have a first draft manuscript here for a non-fiction book. I produced a Zappa Musical once and decided to write a book about the four year long adventure. The manuscript is sitting on my shelf since months.
The goal is to finish that in the next 12 months, both in German (manuscript language) and English and have it published in 2009, even if it means self publishing.
Wish me luck!
