I just spent the day formatting Twilight of Lanar’ya for CreateSpace and Smashwords. Now all I need is the cover, spine, and back and I’ll be ready to roll everything out.
Formatting is probably my least favorite part of publishing a novel. I understand the necessity but there are times I wish I had the programming skills to create an application that would just take the raw output and magically render it into perfect formatting for where ever I’m publishing. Every service has a different way it wants things formatted and you’ll easily spend an hour or two getting your document redone along the lines they require.
Ah well. At least that part is over and done with and I have a better idea of how to format things in the future so it will go more quickly. For now, I’m going to go play Star Wars to unwind a bit. Tomorrow it will be time to get back to the grind. I hope to finish the first draft of Midnight of Lanar’ya by the end of April and have it ready for publication this summer. I also want to get some kind of commercial done for Twilight of Lanar’ya and a few print banners done to distribute around my home town and in bookstores in the area to try to get some more sales. Also, once I’ve approved the proof, I’ll need to start getting cracking on my online marketing presence. Books don’t just sell themselves, after all.
twilight is not graphic bslcilay a relationship a child would see if they have older siblings i have read and watched twilihgt over ahundre times in 2 weeks ill be 14 my parents didn’t care if i saw it i told them it helps with my dream of becoming an author and it does i know 5 year olds that have seen twilgiht if the movie gets to graphic which it really isnt just fast foward through the scences that you think are to graphic and fill your kids on what happened the series allows kids to think is it possible for this to be real it allows imagination to soar this will alos teach kids to abstain till marrige if they want to be completly hapy that you don’t need it to be happy and its not like your kids havent seen their parents kiss big deal i have witness them kissing a millon times since i can remember so twilight basicly is nothing they don’t see every day (im in team jasper)
