Well, It Wasn't Easy


It wasn't easy to reformat TPN to try and fix stray lines and light fonts, but I did it! The main problem I'm encountering though this journey to publish-on-demand (POD) is that I have no idea what I'm doing. The good news is, I've never let that stop me before! Seriously, who knows how to resize Word documents and space 6 X 9 inch pages. The site I'm using does not have a template where you drop your text in and see how it looks - shuffle things about - that kind of thing. Using CreateSpace is like firing off mortar rounds - you take crude-aim, fire-one-off, and wait to see how close you didn't come to the target. They offer to do it for you for several hundred dollars, but that's a lot and I still don't know how it will turn out, how many redo's I get - that type of thing. Not easy, but, trust me, it's worth it in the end.
So, hope your weekend and new year are going well, stay tuned, and hug that person right there next to you.......
