Progress report

I forgot to do this earlier, but Saturday I started work on the third book. I edited a chapter plus a bit more, and I wrote about 1,300 words. Today I wrote 2,300 words. Whoo!

Progress report

Done editing book 2! Whoo!

Except for…yeah, a big scene. I feel like I should just have Big Scene Editing Day.

Another six down, only six left to go! Whoo!

Progress report

I edited six more chapters of the second book! Whoo!

Progress report

The holidays take it out of you, don’t they? Well, soon it will be...tax season….

Anyway, I’ve started editing the second book, and I got through five chapters!

Progress report

Some time was found today, so I finished editing Book 1! Huzzah!

In general I think it’s pretty good—there’s a big scene I think needs to be slowed down and given more importance, but the whole is all right.

Progress report

I had some time today (yay!), so I edited Book 1—I’ve done up to chapter 14 (there are 21). Whoo!

I swear I put this on my calendar

Tribulations fell out of Prime exclusivity earlier this month, and it took me a week to realize it! Whoops!

Anyway, I’m putting it onto Smashwords now. That’s become a little different. If you don’t know, Smashwords typically wants you to upload a DOC file, which they will convert into all formats—BUT if you’re compulsive like me, you can upload the EPUB file separately, just so you feel like it’s OK.

I’ve always done that, making the EPUB file in Calibre without any problems. But now (and this wasn’t a problem a few months ago), they won’t take the Calibre-generated EPUB files—they claim there are a massive slew of problems.

I guess somebody upgraded somewhere? I have no idea, and this is well beyond my technical abilities. So I’m ditching Calibre and just uploading a DOC into Smashwords—fingers crossed that the EPUBs they generate are decent!

ETA: Smashwords e-book here!

I’m doing a little editing while I can, but between the upcoming holidays & some other things, this isn’t going to be the most productive time for me….

Progress report

I’ve been having to focus on some other things, so I decided to try editing the first book, and I did five chapters! Whoo!
