Muddling By – The Ebook
Well, that didn’t take long. Ebook from paperback in less than an hour, or two, or maybe I’m not done yet. Or maybe it is just fine. Deleted the page numbers, trimmed the book cover, massaged a few things, clicked some buttons, and Muddling By – the ebook has been launched. I hope. Someday I’ll…

Muddling By – Proof 092425
I get to say it again. “The book is done!” and yet, not. Muddling By passed kdp/Amazon’s test of the interior and the exterior. I want proof. Specifically, I request a Proof Copy. They might think it’s done. I want proof. I will also have to wait about a week. Here’s a bit of what’s…

Muddling By – Eighth Draft Begun
Authors get to celebrate being ‘done’ with a book several times: the first draft, every subsequent draft, the book build (internal), the built book (internal and external), the upload, the publication, the initial receipt, the entry into the Library of Congress, and whatever other hurdle a writer wants to proclaim as an accomplishment. Muddling By…

Muddling By – Seventh Draft Finished
Grammarly approves. Of course, I’d be surprised if it didn’t. The seventh draft of Muddling By has passed through Grammarly, my impersonal, unemotional, always available, sometimes confused editor. Next step, book formatting and building as I declare the text done, not perfect, but good enough – unless I want to start over and rewrite the…

Muddling By – Fifth Draft Finished
A fifth draft? Whew. And done soon. The fourth draft was done less than a month ago. Ready to publish, right? Not right. But progress is being made. The fifth draft of Muddling By is done. And yet, what I intended to do isn’t done. Every draft hopefully pulls a manuscript one bit closer to…

Cover Art Prep
What to do in the gap between finishing the third draft of Muddling By (working title) and the fourth draft? Take a vacation, right? Ha! I did set aside the writing, but my brain popped up creating the book cover. As if there wasn’t enough to do writing the book. Years ago, I heard some…

Amazon Author Page And Central
(written while tired. my apology, but intuition suggested I publish it soonest.) I pass this along because it is cheap and relatively easy. Amazon has two websites that I use: Amazon Author page and Amazon Author Central. Note: I use them. They are useful, but not very useful. But they are free and informative. And…

Library Of Congress – Fire Race
A milestone. A celebration. I think I did it right, but with bureaucracies, I have doubts. But. I have mailed a paperback copy of Fire Race to the U.S. Library of Congress. I hope I did it right. I’ve submitted several books during the previous 22 years, so I should be practiced, but a lot…

Fire Race Is Published
“Congratulations!” (to me) “You finished your book! Time to take some time off.” Oh, if only it was so. Well, maybe a little celebration. I slept in an hour. But yes, Fire Race, the sequel to Firewatcher, my science fiction series about humans escaping a threatening AI apocalypse, is done and available on Amazon. And,…
