So I finished the e-book on Thursday--well. For certain values of "finished." The major creative part of it was blessedly done--now we begin the final editing/nit-picking process, which is a lot more finite and linear. I spent about five hours doing a red-pen readover of it (125 pages) yesterday morning with the Twilight Zone marathon in the background; now I'm going through and correcting all the appalling mistakes I found and syncing up the footnote numbering. I had hoped to have it on sale by Monday, but given circumstances beyond my control, I don't think that'll be possible. But we're talking a matter of days now, rather than a matter of weeks. So there's that.

Yay! I can't wait! And congratulations on being so near the end!

The phrase "syncing up the footnote numbering" makes me want to suck my thumb in the corner for a while. You're a brave woman.

[soleta-nf.livejournal.com]

Yes, it brings to mind bad master's thesis flashbacks.

Are you going to have any banner graphic advertising it or anything? I'd love to put it in my ezine, due out on Oct 15th.

Looking forward to it!

If you're going to use twilight zone marathons as a measurement....

I really hope this turns out well for you. Is it the sort of thing that can be given as a gift to others?

You inspire me....if only I had time for something aside from homework (**le sigh**).

[sirinde.livejournal.com]

ooooh, congrats. There's just something so *satisfying* about finishing a tangible project. It's my favorite drug

(um, I'm a techie here: http://www.playmakersrep.org/ so, yeah... making things, it's what I do)

[judith-s.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Congratulations. I haven't gotten any ebooks before but what's the rule about printing it out & reading it in hard copy? I prefer pages to screens for reading.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's fine. The only reason I'm not selling hard copies is because it would be a non-functional product--the links to outside websites wouldn't work.
