I write what I "hear" in my head. My focus when doing so is on accurately conveying the sounds. Occasional typos result in mispellings, but I am very prone to errors involving words that sound alike, i.e. to/two/too, their/there/they're. Even when I review things, my focus is on the meaning, so the sound related grammar slips by.

Also, the flow gets interrupted sometimes, resulting in a few extra words here or there. It doesn't happen often and is usually quite obvious and easy to fix. However, I don't like doing such detail work.

I'm open to speaking/marketing tours as required to promote any works. Also, I'll be glad to include web pages that provide information on books and where to order them at my site.

I can provide source for most of my material in WordPerfect 5.1/5.2.

Terms and rights are negotiable. I'm just looking for something that is WIN/WIN.

If you have ideas on how to condense any combination of my works/words and order them in a manner that you feel would be more fit for a general or particular audience I am open to such.

I would be happy to review and provide feedback. And I have no problems giving you credit as the editor. It is not important that my name or even Beyond Imagination be prominent in such works. It can be, if such is mutually beneficial, but it is not a requirement.

Supporting promotion, providing source, and terms and rights as above.

If you want to create an original work that combines your own ideas with mine in any manner whatsoever, I am open to that as well. Joint authorship is a possibility, as is you as author with a negotiated right to use parts of my works in yours in whatever manner you see fit. For joint authorship, I would want some say in the finished work. However, I am open to arrangements that simply permit your use of whatever parts of my works would suit your needs. In such cases, I would be reluctant to agree to "exclusive" use, however.

I would be happy to review and provide feedback. And I have no problems giving you credit as the co-author or even sole author. It is not important that my name or even Beyond Imagination be prominent in such works. It can be, if such is mutually beneficial, but it is not a requirement.

Supporting promotion, providing source, and terms and rights as above. However, the degree of my support would probably be dependent on how much of my work is involved in the project.

This is already written as a book of about 100 pages. I'd prefer to keep it essentially in tact because it provides the basic fundamentals around which all of my work is based.

However, don't let that dissuade you. If you have ideas for making it better, let me know.

These are the first six months of Notes that documented my experiences in going beyond mind to know awareness. It captures the very beginnings of my metaphysical writings. This work is arranged day by day and month by month. It ends with my experiences of extreme mania, and my vacation to the "mental hospital".

One possibility is to publish as is, as the journal of someone experiencing a spiritual awakening.

Another possibility is to publish along with your commentary as to what was happening and what it meant. You could even incorporate experiences from others for variety if desired.

A third possibility is to use excerpts as examples in a work by you that deals with spiritual emergence or awakening experiences.

This one is only 48 pages. I don't know that this is enough even for a small book. Also, the material is quite deep, so it might not be meant for mass consumption.

One possibility is to co-author, comparing and contrasting your ideas in this area with those that I have expressed. This would bring the size up to a reasonable length. Perhaps even doing this capturing the perspectives of several people.

This is the bulk of the Beyond Imagination writings. 30 months of Notes from Nov 93 through Apr 96 totaling 1300+ pages. Quantity of Notes per month varied from 12 through 120+ pages. Typical pace was about 1 page/day. There are many possibilities here.

Notes could be published in entirety in several volumns, depending on what constitutes a reasonable size per volumn.

Best of Notes book could be produced by selecting appropriate passages over the 30 month period. There is enough material that more than one of these might be produced. These could involve any of the "relationships" discussed above depending on how much of a role as editor/author you would like to play.

Topic focus books could be produced by selecting appropriate passages related to specific topics. These could involve any of the "relationships" discussed above depending on how much of a role as editor/author you would like to play.

DON'T LET THIS LIMIT YOU !!!

These are just some ideas for how works might be created that get this material out to the audience for which it is ultimately intended. I believe in SYNERGY, and in the concept that people should do what they are good at and allow others to fill in the pieces that their skills are not suited for. At least, I know this is right for me. And I know when something is "not my job".

If you feel a calling to do any of the above, or have any ideas of your own in this area, please contact me and let's see what we can work out!

NAMASTE! Wayne.
