Hello everyone and welcome back to my little corner of the world! Please accept my sincere apologies for not posting anything for over a month now. I don’t really have any one single excuse, just the trials and tribulations of life that sometimes keep us from accomplishing the things that we want to accomplish. The important thing is that I’m back now, and I’m so happy to have you all back here with me today!
During the past month and half I took time off from my blog and my writing, due to family needs. I’ve worked a little here and there, but not much to speak of, so I don’t have a whole lot to update you on. The one thing that I do want to update you on is my book of dark playful poetry that I had discussed here on my blog previously. The last I told you was that I was doing some research and comparison of the independent publishing sites to try to decide which was going to be the best one for my needs. After quite a bit of reading and researching between Smashwords.com, Lulu.com and Bibliocracy.com, I finally decided to go with Smashwords. I’m not the most computer savvy person, so after reading over the Smashwords Style Guide by Mark Coker, it took me quite a bit of time and rereading, to figure out all of the formatting rules. Needless to say, I finally figured things out and formatted my book according to the guidelines, and now my book is published! You can read a sample of my book here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/LettersbyLisa. I hope that you enjoy it, and I look forward to your kind, constructive criticism. I think one of the most exciting and amazing things of this whole adventure is the fact that I completed it all on my own, without any help whatsoever from my children. So anyone who is unsure of whether or not they can figure out how to properly format a book for e-book publishing, take it from me, with determination and will, you can do it!
I’m going to try my best to post on a regular basis on Tuesdays again, so please stop in every Tuesday from now on. I want to thank you all very much for stopping by today! I hope that everyone has a safe and wonderful week!
