Writing Life

One Step Closer to a Paperback

Yes, it would be faster to hire someone to get my book up in paperback, but since I already lost 5 days hiring someone from Fivver and it was a disaster, I'd rather do it myself - even though it's going to take longer.

This afternoon, I got OpenOffice uploaded onto my RCA, along with the template offered by Amazon for a 6 x 9 book. Once I uploaded the manuscript into the template it became a wild learning experience. It's all about planning what happens next, because every move you make is going to affect how the manuscript looks on each page.

Right now, I'm focused on separating paragraphs that magically grouped together on upload. Once that's done, I'll upload the images. I imagine they'll throw things off a bit, so saving that one for tomorrow.

One step at a time. :)
