I did it! :marlenesmile: I'm not even going to try and calculate how much editing and how many hours I worked on my first book, but the last month has been insane. I've been spending every day working on it. And growing increasingly :nervous:that it wasn't going to get done on time. It took a crap load of :coffee:and even a few people :whip: to keep me going. Now the books in the process of being formatted into several e-book formats and I'm doing the forward tonight. As soon as the cover is done (Hopefully by next weekend. Artist is having a speed bump) it'll be sent off to the printers and then I can start putting things together to send out. :omg: I forgot! I gotta order packaging stuff from USPS!!!!! :eek: Thank goodness I have friends coming over to help me put together, package, keep in line signing and mail everything out. With preorders and backers from kickstarter I have a few hundred that need to go out. :eek:

I'm so on :cloud9: right now. I'm so happy I've finally got all the editing done. :eek: It was SO much work! I mean it, PILES of work. I never realized how many tweaks, changes, and such it would be. Off to Hocking Hills Park this weekend to destress and then..... off I go working on the second part of the trilogy. :lol:

Can't wait to read it!!! But I likely will wait to read it until I get the other two...... I usually have to read things in one big gulp. I started Harry Potter, but after the third book I kept forgetting what went on prior.... Same thing with those vampire books. I suck at sequels. So I must read them all in one fell swoop.:D
