ROW80 Check In 7/10

July 10, 2011 by Lauralynn Elliott

My goal is to average 500 words per day and to work on a short story when I can. As of yesterday, I was 432 words ahead of my cumulative goal. So I’m pretty happy about that. I haven’t worked on the short story yet, but that’s secondary and not a big deal. It’s going to be a freeby anyway. I’ve also gotten Haunted Lake very close to being formatted for print. The page numbers were kicking my butt, but I finally got them to cooperate. That should be out in paperback in a couple of weeks.

I got Jonathan Eli’s book, The Last Cabbandeum, on CreateSpace in paperback and it should be on Amazon soon. Anya Kelleye did a great job with the cover. When I got the proof copy, it was awesome!

I’ll check on the rest of you this afternoon after church and lunch. 🙂

  Thanks, Robin. The cover is a work in progress, just like the novella. I always love to see what Anya comes up with. :0)

  Thanks, Jamila. I’m really excited about getting something in print. The first time I ever did that (before ebooks) I used a vanity press and it cost me a lot of money. It’s so nice to be able to get something in print without paying (except a small fee for expanded distribution). It’s a new world! :0)

  Those crazy page numbers! Every time I had to change one, it would change the others! Bleh. But I figured out how to fool it. LOL.
  
  Thanks for your support, Alberta. You’re always there with the encouraging word.
