Since I last made a cover for a book, Amazon has changed its requirements. Normally that isn't an issue, but this time it will require that I spend money to fix it. The amount of money that Adobe wants to make a single 'print ready pdf' is more than I'm willing to pay for it. I have three different... Sign in to see full entry.

I was hoping to hit 3.5 million words this year... and by gum, I just did! I told ya, I've been busy! V Sign in to see full entry.
It's supposed to hit close to 93 today. I'm going to do my dog walking early so as to avoid the heat. I'm sure some of you remember my post about my friend who had bladder cancer. I got a call about 4AM telling me that he passed away during the night. This reminds me to remind you, living for the... Sign in to see full entry.

It took a lot of thought, but Bruce's fate is now sealed. On and off all afternoon, I thought about if I was a Roman Emperor, would it be thumbs up or thumbs down? I ain't tell you yet, but I've made up my mind on the path that I want to take. I didn't mean to make this a love story, that was just a... Sign in to see full entry.
The only problem I am having with my murder story is that I'm having too much fun with it. When I spent those seven years of working the 'inner city' aspect of Grand Rapids, Michigan, I learned too much of that culture. Add in the two years I worked in the prison system, and you'll understand where... Sign in to see full entry.
I guess I didn't realize how wound up in getting the rewrite of my old novel and getting it back up. I slept well and late. I suppose that means that I needed to do so. It is supposed to be another scorching day at about 88 to 90 today. As soon as I get back from our walk, I'll be spending the day... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I learned something new about the publishing paperback stuff tonight. After spending some time working to make a decent looking 6" x 9" paperback model, I was interrupted by a call. When I came back to upload the manuscript, I accidentally sighted and clicked on the ebook file. To my surprise,... Sign in to see full entry.
About 11PM EST last night, I submitted the edited and improved version of 'I Remember Judy' to Amazon. At 2:47AM, I got an email telling me that the new version of the story was ready and available for retail. Hmmm... and Audible has had my audio books for closing in on 90 days and has done nothing...

I'm probably not going to post anything in my two active story lines here tonight. I am about thirty minutes from submitting the 'cleaned up' version of 'I Remember Judy' to Amazon. I would like that one to be up and clean ASAP. I didn't find a lot of problems, but I've learned something about 'the... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm on the home stretch of completing my re-write of 'I Remember Judy - A Love Story.' I've found that there are several places where I have to stop to gather myself as I find some passages that hurt me to write the first time. I just came across the passage of where we first moved to Florida. We... Sign in to see full entry.
