Okay, so if I would have remembered how frickin' frustrating
editing in html was when using
Mobipocket Creator I would have taken better notes when uploading the first
Wilson Mooney! Urrghh…The most time consuming part, for me, is making sure the
table of contents is working properly. After that, I always seem to need to
re-set the title page, and each chapter heading. Forget ncx…that is just way
out of range for me. Besides all new Kindles don’t use the ncx feature, because
the reader can drag the bar across the screen. So Yay, on leaving behind the
ncx formatting!
After writing, editing, and type-setting for print, I must go and create a couple
documents for all the different electronic formats. I end up with roughly 3
different copies of Wilson, formatted 3 different ways. Print version has their
requirements, Kindle has theirs, and Smashword (a distributor for all
electronic formats) seem to have theirs too!
I don’t have the cover yet, but I am very close to having
the book ready to go. What I’ve worked on last night was checking the
formatting and functionality of different options with the electronic/eBook
formats. Once I get the cover for the paperback and the electronic copy...I
will be able to finish uploading the book…WOW, that was a pretty LOUD Whoop!
Oh man, if you guys only knew how crazy nervous I have been
lately—I’ve been, driving everyone around me bonkers. I don’t bite my nails,
but I do require the occasional “really, really” when I start to feel
inadequate or unsure about the book.
Gosh, I just can’t get over the fact that there are thousands of readers waiting at the
door. Waiting to find out what happens next between Wilson and Max. It’s pretty
amazing that people—I don’t know, have become emotionally invested in the
characters from my head. Let me just say…the pressure is on…
It’s close to that time to get ready for Wilson and Max to
dance across the screens of your e-readers as they live amongst the words that
give them their lives.
Thanks for waiting…it won’t be long now…So here’s a little
something I’m working on to keep you excited...
Wilson Mooney ~
Eighteen at Last
(Back of the book
description Rough Draft #1)
Eager to take the next step in their relationship, Wilson
and Max return to Aspen to celebrate Wilson’s eighteenth birthday. When an
uncontrollable situation leads to a split second decision, both will be tested
like never before. Butterflies will soar, hearts will clash, and Wilson’s
relationship with Max will spin into a silken cocoon with choices that seem too
impossible to overcome.
Could it be…uncovering the deep ache that lays dormant in
their hearts will become the real threat to their forbidden love? Or will the pressures
of keeping their relationship a secret be too much to bear?
Are you ready?
