Tuesday Tidbit: I’m almost ready to publish my memoir!


Look at this! After formatting all 42 chapters (or is it 43?) of my new memoir, Please, God, Don’t Make Me Go!, I just formatted the epilogue. Woot! Woot!


Now I need to format endnotes, glossary, author bio, acknowledgments—those things that go at the end of the book.

—And tweak the stuff at the beginning of the book, like Table of Contents.

—And resize photos to be sure they’ll work for the book and the ebook. That could take me a while.

—And do final copyediting.

—And buy ISBN numbers.

And then my cover designer can get to work. He says it might take up to three weeks.

So now you know what I’m up to these days. It’s a super busy time, but I’ve been having so much fun.

It won’t be long before I can hold a real book in my hands—and you can, too!

  1. Way to go! I love this book (yes, folks, I got the gift of being an early reader)! Can't wait to have it on my Kindle, and then I need to buy both books in paper so we can meet some day on White River Road and you can sign my books! Wouldn't that be fun?

    1. Oh, Jody, you are so dear! This book couldn't have gotten this far without your help. But Jody, you will not buy any books. I'm giving copies to you as one small way to say THANK YOU! I send hugs!

    1. Thank you, dear Joyful. I couldn't have done it without the help of dear people like Jody (see comment above) and others who volunteered countless hours to help me. And God of course has enabled all along. Thanks for stopping by, dear friend, and for leaving a comment. :)
