Anybody else uploaded pdfs for Kindle conversion only to find they might just as well have html-coded in the first place. It's frustrating - I've just spent the last couple of weeks correcting the code. Found some typos I hadn't caught before, which is frustrating insofar as my printed books are concerned, but nice that I was able to correct it for the Kindle editions. Having to correct "KIRSTIN'S STORY: no place to stand", the story of my late daughter's battle with social phobia was especially difficult of course, but I made it through.
I'm way behind my original schedule for the novel I'm currently writing (still got no name) which I'd hoped to publish this year. It's about some 'home children' coming to Canada in the 1870s and, since this is The Year of the Home Child, it would have been nice to have had it finished. The problem is, I thought retirement would give me all the time in world to write but I keep getting involved in other things - I volunteer for the SPCA, hike, swim, am playing the female lead in our next community theatre production, etc. etc. - and seem to have less time to write than when I was working full time.

My time to write...
For most of my adult life, I've written for other people in order to 'bring home the bacon'. Now is the time to write for myself - not that I'd turn down any requests for ads, brochures, websites, etc...more
