Update on publishing my book

I told you I'd update you on my book progress so here it is:

Oh gracious. I now know why authors wish that a big company will publish their book.  It's a lot of work, and I already have most of it done.  Just let me say:  I love smashwords for formatting my books in all the different formats for me!  Formatting is just the beginning of the tedious task for publishing an actual book.   The cover art is just as time consuming if not more so, and my cover is basically done.  Granted I have learned a lot in this process and I do realize the first time is almost always the hardest.   Two things kept running through my mind as I put hours and hours into this project.  1) I could be writing right now!  2) I am doing this!   I love my mind for being able to find the good when all I see is bad/frustrating.  Some situations are harder than others, and sometimes the good doesn't compare to the bad, but good is good and I will always take it.  So with all that being said, it's still not done.  See, after all the hours I've put into the formatting, they found errors.  They were willing to print them, but I am not ready to allow them to do that.  Not after I worked so hard on it.  So I tweaked it, spent all morning on it, and now I have to wait upto 48 hours to see if I am satisfied with the way it looks.  Then I will get a hard copy spend more hours making sure that it is ready and then... hopefully it will be ready to sell! 

On a completely different note, I happen to see the trailer for the new Superman movie: Man of Steel!!  Christopher Nolan - the man who made those AWESOME Batman movies - has his hand in it!  We are huge fans of DC Comics' super heroes over here with Batman and Superman being tied at number one.   Yes, this means we are also estatic that Green Arrow has a TV Series: Arrow.  And that they've done a great job with Green Lantern: The Animated Series.   Oh and Young Justice!!  (My daughter is in love with Robin, I think)   Anyways, just wanted to share a bit of me along with what has been an intense amount of time I didn't spend writing.  So now I'm going to allow you to click here to see the Superman Trailer if you want to see it and I am going to head back to doing what I love...writing.
