I’m going to write a book

[folivier]

Sounds like a fun project. But do yourself and your readers a favor and have someone proofread it. It is difficult to read something you wrote and find all of the errors because you know what you wrote. An experienced proofreader can pick up errors most people don't see.

What a great idea! Lots of places along the original route might like to sell it too (especially if you mention them in a notes section or elsewhere).

I always thought Route 66 ran between Chicago and Santa Monica, California? Did it start at Bar Harbor?

Route 66 did not go all the way to Maine, did it? I thought I read that it ran from Chicago to LA.

And even then.......I have, on occasion, read books by well known authors, and distributed by established publishers, with an "it's/its" inaccuracy (or the like) that has somehow escaped notice.

Sounds like an interesting project, will be fun to see the progress. Good luck.

Yes it starts in downtown Chicago and ends in Santa Monica, Ca. The diner in Bar Harbor Maine is probably run by a Route 66 fan.

Thanks for proofreader tips. Great idea.

Sounds like a fun project, and a great way to deduct the travel cost.
