Apparently, my family had some bad luck stored up at the end of last year. Knowing that it was running out of time, 2011 decided to have my dad hit a moose, my mom get stuck in a driveway and scrape the side of her car on a tree, and kill the transmission in my sister's car. Nice. Actually, it started when that employee gave me his cold as a Christmas present. *sigh* Such is life, I guess.
Slaved for days over my book, editing and re-editing. When it was formatted, my double spacing between sentences turned into single spacing. I'm a double space kinda girl, so I spent about, oh, six hours doing that. Stayed up until four on a couple of days to get the sucker knocked out, then passed it to my sister for a final final edit. She did that all of yesterday, so yippee, we're done. Except ...
We sent the book to my sister's kindle last night and found a few interesting things. The website I had been editing on uses a format that's slightly wider than the kindle's. My dedication lines were too wide, resulting in a bit of strange rearranging. I also have some blank pages here and there at the end of chapters. Hmmm ... No idea how to fix that. Sent an email; hopefully the format gurus will get back to me soon with a solution.
Other than that, it looks great. The cover is a little dark on my sister's black and white kindle screen, but it still looks good. I'm sure it will look awesome for those of you who have color. Anyway, if things go well, I'll be uploading to Amazon at the end of the week. I'll let ya know when it's out.
