I fought with Word, today, before it finally settled down, then I finished the formatting and uploaded the files for Porno Manifesto to Ingram. Now I'm waiting on a proof for approval, and I've set March 8th for the day it's available under the new cover. I'm debating going through the ebook to correct the typos. It won't cost me anything, but it's a lot of work, especially prepping it for Smashwords to align it, and I don't have a lot of spare time, right now.
I kept myself from rewriting any of PM, except for adding a word where I missed one and correcting my old grammatical mistakes. I also changed parts where I'd put phrases in quotation marks to italics, which is the way it's done, now. Overall, the story holds together nicely, and rereading it helped rebuild some of my confidence.
I'll need to start preparing for moving, in April. I'm going into a senior high-rise not all that far from where I currently live, and I'm not taking any of the furniture I have here. I'll need to do it quickly, because the NY Book Fair is the third weekend of the month and I'll be working during some of it. Mainly the foreign dealers coming in, since some of the rules for exporting from the UK and the EU have changed. I'm still trying to brush up on all that.
I've also got a ton of reading to do for APoS. And I'm doing what little I can to back Ukraine against the Russian invasion...which isn't much. Hell, the Red Cross wouldn't even let me donate blood because I've got a case of eczema on my forearms. Went through the whole check-in process and was lying on the bench, ready for the needle when the technician called over someone...and they rejected me. Not one word or question about it till then.
Story of my life.
