I probably SHOULD have waited until I coulda bugged you or another of the gurus. Actually, there's no probably to it...
See, what I was working on is...I found a place that will print a paperback book for you if you upload a Word document, and for fairly cheap - about ten dollars plus shipping, and it should be here so I can wrap it for my little sister for Christmas!
They also allow you to create a cover, but I could NOT get the picture right. If I wasn't such an obsessive freak ;-) I woulda waited until someone could have helped me with it, but as it is, I finally gave up on it and submitted it as is at a bit after one this morning. Did I mention I'm an obsessive freak?
Looking at it this morning, it's not QUITE as bad as I remembered, but still awfully ugly. However, my sister will just be thrilled to have it as a "real" book, so I suppose that's OK...however, if I decide to do anything similar in the future, it would behoove me to be a wee bit more patient, and to never make decisions after ten at night!
Oooh... do share the details on that publishing house!
