It's Done!

[image error]I just can't believe it. I seemed to happen so fast. This time last week I was facing HTML, trying to figure out how to deal with picture formatting. But I buried myself in my formatting, surfacing only to "reboot" my brain with an hour and a half of much needed yoga Tuesday afternoon. And then dove back down again into the formatting swamp.

But it paid off. By Wednesday evening I had uploaded my .mobi formatted file to Amazon and the following morning I uploaded the epub format to PubIt. By Friday afternoon they were both for sale.

Wednesday I realized I'd forgotten to press that final "check my file" button in CreateSpace, pressed that and got a message the next day that my book was ready for a hard proof. They told me to expect it next Friday and yet it was sitting on my kitchen table waiting for me when I came home from teaching Saturday afternoon! My head is spinning!

But I can tell you this — if I even look at the wonderful proof CreateSpace sent me, my stomach begins to churn. I have looked at this manuscript so many times in the past week, I would see a mistake if it slapped my head. I'm going to wait and have the wonderful, always supportive and eagle eyed man I call husband look at it when he gets home from his business trip on Friday. Until then, it's just going to sit and taunt me from the corner of my desk.

A very happy Diwali to those who celebrate! I'll be putting out my 14 candles on Wednesday night![image error]
