Cooking hot

I’ve spent most of the day cooking. Okay, yes, it’s hot. Yes, I was hot yesterday, to the point of giving myself a headache. So, what better way to spend the day than cooking, right? Please do read in the heavy sarcasm. I did want to cook though, so it was a good day to … Continue reading Cooking hot

Cooling down

I hope I have uploaded the final documents for the ACEO ebook. I haven’t had a chance to download and review it yet, but I am hoping. It got too hot for me at the market this morning, and then we went shopping. Even though I tried to drink lots, I have a heat headache. … Continue reading Cooling down

Final stretch – for real

I have branched out my testing to find a way to get the Kindle version of the ACEO project ebook to work. I think I’ve finally found a solution. It’s taking time and the Kindle version will look bland, but I think it will work. Basically, I stepped back my InDesign document to a PDF, … Continue reading Final stretch – for real

Fighting to win

I don’t feel like all is well in my world today. Must of it hasn’t been too bad, but I’ve been trying to get the Kindle app to work as I expect it to. I just think there has to be a way. When the epub looks fine on the Kindle Previewer, but is completely … Continue reading Fighting to win

100 ACEOs

I am sad to report that the first test flight of my ACEO project ebook went down in flames. I didn’t get to try it out until this morning and I had to go about a different way to open the file than I had originally expected. Not the end of the world. When I … Continue reading 100 ACEOs

First test flight

I finished up with writing and designing the ACEO artist card ebook tonight and set it up for the first test as an epub (that’s the file type for an ebook) to make sure it’s going to fly. I haven’t yet tested it, so I have no results yet, but it’s only a matter of … Continue reading First test flight

Little fixes

I touched up paintings tonight. Several of them have gotten a little banged up in recent months and just needed little fixes. I was going to write, but then I recalled I still have a Kickstarter ebook to finish. I must go with first things first. So, since I have a bit of time this … Continue reading Little fixes

June reset

I’m using a temporary change in my living to reset my schedule. With the recent change and finishing up a couple projects, I thought it would be a good time to fully reset. So far, so good. I got to writing this morning. Not as much as I would have liked, but considering that recently … Continue reading June reset

Sunny day

It was a beautiful day out at the farmers market. The sun filled me with lots of energy. Then I used it all shopping. (grin) My feet are sore and I’m tired. A bit hungry too. My lunchtime tamale was not enough to get me through to now. But I’ll eat soon. Okay, sorry, that’s … Continue reading Sunny day

In the mail

Kickstarter ACEO artist cards are mailed! Victory! I’m still putting together the ebook, but I finally have all 100 images placed. I still need to do the cover, but I’m hoping I can make that quickly. Then there’s the final touches that need to go into it. Finally, and the part that probably scares me … Continue reading In the mail
