Paperback

     Hello all. It has been a long time. And that is because I have been spending my time getting the paperback ready for you. So maybe you will forgive me.
     So, making the paperback was a lot more difficult than I would have expected. It didn't take as long as I would have expected but at the same time it took far longer than I would have expected. I got it done the way I thought I wanted. And then I turned it into a PDF. And then I went to upload it. Which, when I uploaded it, it said I had an error. So I went back and tried to fix the error, turned it into a new PDF and uploaded it again. Now it said I had three errors. So again I did it all over again. And just saying I did it over again seems easy right? No. Doing it over again took an hour each time. I spent so much time uploading and reuploading this thing. Then I ordered a proof. The proof came in the mail three days later.
     Then, I wasn't happy with the proof. Some of the page numbers were touching the last lines on the pages. The don't was too big. The margins were too small. There were just things that I could have lived with but that I wanted to look professional. So I needed to change them.
     So I went to change them in the indesign document. But some of the things weren't working. So then I decided to just start all over again. It was a little frustrating.
     But alas, I got it turned into a PDF, uploaded it, got the proof, approved the proof, and it is now available on amazon for paperback. After all that work, it is now available.

You are welcome. I hope at least some of you buy it. And if you do, thank you.
