It seems funny to see the book all formatted in 6x9 standardized pages. It really looks like, well, it looks like a book! Now I know how many pages the typical Stephen King manuscript is as this one came in at 599 pages just 10 short of "Duma Key". I got to take care of a lot of little problems with the file too. The colorfont stayed but I had to change the margins on the dreams so they're closer together, without the purple font it was hard to tell where the dreams ended and reality picked up again. Also had to give CC a different font for his 'voice'....again the purple wasn't going to show up. Even took care of a few last minute spelling errors.
I had to come up with a name for the publisher....that's me by the way. I am now Moon Mistress Publishing and I suppose if this does take off I should register that with the State of Connecticut. Oh well, cross that bridge when/if we come to it. I had to have a logo for the company and I went with
Then I went over to lulu and dumped the old version of "Dream Weaver" in favor of this new almost perfect one. I needed a new cover to fit the new size and came up with this one to use in the interim while I'm waiting for my Cousin to do the cover art
Not bad, I like the photograph anyway and I suppose it will do for now. I made a new backcover for it as well.
I also went and changed the popular links like on authorsden and writersnet so that those lulu links go to the proper place people aren't getting a dead link. That would be horrible!
Spruced up the pages for the free preview--no code--and the main originals page. All in all I've been very busy today! It's a good thing my oldest is making dinner tonight (boyfriend's coming over) or we'd starve...well, you know, if it wasn't for take out! LOL!
Hope to do some writing tomorrow now that the business end is as settled as it can be for the moment.
