I am waiting, waiting, waiting!! How appropriate! I am waiting for When Will Papa Get Home? to be professionally edited, and it’s so hard to wait.
I hope to keep my release date of Saturday, November 21, 2015–Sandia Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair, but it has been 13 days that I have been waiting.
I should have allowed more time between the editing and revising process and the release date, but the crunch happened.
Next book I will allow one month between release date and final editing and revising, so I have learned a lot.
I also have my Dad’s story, Let Me Tell You a Story, in process at createspace.com too, but I think it will be ready to order tomorrow, so I should be OK.
But tomorrow will be full if I get the final edits and revisions, because I will need to do that work first, upload the new document and then wait for their final review and approval before I can order the books for November 21.
The message of this blog–allow enough time so you’re not biting your nails worrying if you will get it all done on time.
I did receive twenty copies of “From Grannie’s Kitchen, Volume 1“–my Mom’s cookbook today, so I am good with that.
It will be OK not matter how it turns out!
