Today had been a busy day. I have accomplished a lot.
First of all, I won't get the manuscript uploaded to CreateSpace today.
But, I'm okay with that. I'm close.
Today, I finished the corrections. The formatting is done. I just completed the acknowledgements. I registered my title with Bowker and set the price for the paperback so I can use one of the ISBN I purchased.
I feel like I need to do one more read-through. I found two misspelled words when I was making corrections this afternoon. Other than that, I need to get the cover completed so it's up-loadable.
And then that's it... at least for the paperback.
There's still the matter of the ebook, but that's for a different day.
I'm taking tomorrow off... well, at least from blogging. I think I'll be reading all day.
See you Monday!

Everything I have to do for part one seem to be taking a really long time to get together.
I'm only halfway done with the corrections. They're not huge, but I have three different copies (back up of the whole manuscript and individual chapters). I cut and paste the new version in, but switching between the three takes extra time. In addition, I'm checking the formatting as I go, making sure everything is just perfect. That makes it take even longer.
Yesterday, I planned on getting my copyright and acknowledgement pages done. It took a few hours to do the copyright page. Most of that time was spent researching and making sure I had what I needed. Then I spent some time searching for a quote at the beginning of my book, only to change my mind as I went to bed (I don't want to sway my readers before they read the first part). Then I spent a little time looking up what I needed to get into my acknowledgements and read three or four from other books by different authors.
Then it was time for supper.
I got about 2600 words re-written yesterday. That frustrates me, too. Why can't I do everything I want to do in the mere twenty-four hours of a day???
Uhg. So, today, I've been working on the formatting and corrections. I got some other things done that I needed to, silly things like going to the grocery store or walking the dog. Needy people/animals--yeesh. My son has a cross-country meet that I'm just about to leave for and then there's a church bb-q this evening. I hope they don't mind me furiously working while I'm there, because that's what's going to happen.
Don't even talk to me about what I have to get done tomorrow (that's not book-related). Maybe I'll just stay up all night.
Yeah, like that's a good idea.
Rant over. Back to reality.
See you tomorrow.

So, yesterday I did a lot, but I didn't get to my 6000 word goal. I got in 2700. I was at the Family History Library in the afternoon, volunteering. I worked on corrections for a while. I did the laundry. And Facebook sucked up at least two hours of my time.
Well, what are you going to do?
Today, I'm working on the Copyright and Acknowledgement pages. I'll get some of the corrections taken care of. Hopefully, I'll get my word count in. No, not hopefully, I'm going to. :D
Have a good day.
