Waiting for Proof

Well, I've finally finished all editing for Solitary Sky.  Truthfully, I could go back and change little stuff, rearrange sentences, add, chop, and more ad infinitum...but I had to cut myself off.  I had to be firm and remind myself it will never be perfect and I don't want to spend the rest of my life editing.  (O.O)

Tuesday of next week I will get my proof copy and if all is well, SolSky will be released mid to late next week. If I have to make changes (god forbid) and send it back there will be more of a delay.  Obviously Tuesday I will be able to give more specific info. ;o)

The whole process of writing this book...finishing it and going through all the details of getting it published has been such a crazy experience for me.  Crazy because it has encompassed so many different emotions from the highest highs to the lowest lows.  It's been a real education not just in the literal sense, but also in the discovery of who I am here at the beginning of my 5th decade of life...as well as who I was always meant to be.

The journey is of course ongoing, but I'm taking what I've learned with me...and hoping the crazy ride never stops. =)

Almost There

Just thought I would pop in for a quick update.  The cover is almost finalized...the formatting is done...I just have to wrap up a few details next week--then if everything goes smoothly, the book will be released before the end of October! =)   I will post the release date as soon as I know...which should be sometime next week. ;o)

Until then, here's a sneak peek at the cover and a bonus picture of Lilah:

Progress Report

No, I have not been ignoring my blog for the past 2 weeks...well, not intentionally anyway. ;o)

I have been working like crazy to try and get this formatting done...also final editing as I go along, which is what's taking so long.  I had no idea it would be such a long process. =P    Actually it hasn't been that long...for at least 10 of those days I was ill so nothing got done on those days...still, I'm finding that 10 pages can take me 10 hours to finish...and there are over 300 pages. =P

...sigh...

Still, I'm feeling much better now (knocking on wood) and I'm working my as--butt off to get all the formatting finished this weekend ...I'm already near 200, so I hold out high hopes! =)  
Also hope to finish the cover this weekend...I'll post it here as soon as I'm done. 

So around the middle of next week I'll post with more specific info on the release date...see you then! ;o) xoxo



paxamo,

Release Date, TBA

Well, today was supposed to be the day that Solitary Sky would be released, but unfortunately it's not happening. =P
The release is still going to happen...and still in September...but it has been delayed just a little.

Formatting issues along with being ill for over a week now has held things back a bit...but it's life, this is what happens.  To be honest, I kind of expected this would happen.  In the back of my mind when I announced the book was set to be released 9-10-11, I sort of thought in my head "tentatively"...I think I even actually said tentatively at some point.  But I am feeling better now (knock on wood) and I'm very eager to make the release announcement as soon as possible.  I'm actually very close to being ready...I will post updates on my progress here and on twitter and I'll be able to give a definite release date soon...maybe sometime this week.  =)
