LOVE THOSE RAINY DAYS!

When overwhelmed with editing corrections, we love the rainy days.  At least we're not missing gorgeous weather.

Just got our proof back from the ePublisher and we're shocked at all the new errors they have made.  It's challenging enough when we make our own mistakes, but when they, in their effort to help, create new ones, it's daunting.  We had to reread the entire book...again.  This time, for a new perspective, we read it backwards.  Hey, it worked!

At least we're learning a great deal about the editing process and even somethings about the tech process.  For example, any of you who are even thinking of going this route, one important point:  If you use any Italicized fonts, be sure to overcompensate at the beginning and end of the sentence by adding an extra space.  Somehow when we got the book back, anywhere we had Italics, there just was no space between words.

Why the Sake and Sushi photos?   People need sustenance, right?  And sustenance is a major part of our writing process, especially the Sake part.  It releases those creative juices.  Yup, this writing gig is definitely fun!
