Reply to Pfhorrest yeah definitely. Thanks. I got a idea to make 150000 words book, after listening one of Professor Slavoj Zizek lecture.

Reply to tim wood I am not sure i will publish it as of now. Its contains some of harsh realities of society which People usual don't like to listens or discuss. The western society,i presume you most are from is more tolerate. But where i come from, some of the stuff i write, worth lynching or in some cases the author was killed. I will continue to write till all ground are covered

Quoting tim wood
Whatever your publisher tells you to call it.


Only a vanity press would accept a manuscript the author himself can't categorize.

Pseudonyms and change all names, places, etc. for anonymity's sake.

Reply to Artemis I don't want to change the actual facts.The most can be done is anonymity of author. If i do that then, i feel the massage will be lost. I will try to make as much as easy to people to understand. If i am sure, then i will publish in digital form for free.

I mean, it's your baby. But there is an ethical argument to be made that you shouldn't publish about private persons without their knowledge and/or consent. There are also libel and slander laws about it, even here in America.

Reply to tim wood we know always exactly what we trying to achive by doing anything. Its very simple like, like we go to supermarket to buy some products, we know what to achieve, the product. Then the compication start, Is those all available there, is the exact kind of meat mom wanted. For me the results is more important, then just what i think, feel or achieve. I would like know for sure, the supermarket has those item, by experience or by researching.

Reply to Artemis its not about any private person, i dont put anyone name nor its about they had done something bad. Its a annlysis of the collective stage of a group of people.
