Progress

I’m at a good place with those layouts on the Minstrels of Skaythe collection. I found some clip art that will accent the title pages and story endings, and those are laid out. The next step will be to load it into Amazon and start going through the proofing process.

My first attempt was the wrong format size, 8-1/2 x 11 when it needed to be 6 x 9. I had to rejigger a whole bunch of stuff, and I hope this time I’ve got it right. I also built my cover on a template that was the wrong size. I already know what words need to go where, once I have the right sized template. Those fixes should be easy enough.

Anyway, this is why you should always start your publishing process well in advance!

In addition to that work, my ballot has arrived. I plan to set aside an hour and go through the voter pamphlet and look at some candidate web sites on issues I haven’t already decided. Washington State has been voting completely by mail for over 5 years, and the process is truly private and secure.

There is so much going on in the United States of 2020, and I won’t presume to know what opinions each of you hold. But I will unequivocally urge all of you to take the time and whatever steps you need to vote. (If you don’t live in the States, then I urge you to participate in whatever government you do have.)

Our nation needs you to vote!
