How is it December already? As often happens with me, October dragged, and November flew.
I have had a rather productive week. Since I am expecting the proofread of my genealogy book back soon, I put my shoulder to the wheel to get everything else I needed finished.
I completed all the title pages. I had already had the chapter tree charts done. And today I finished up the photo pages I will be including in the book.
I ended up with 26 pages of photos. Hopefully I will not need to cull them for page count.
Aside from any fixes I need to make from the proofread, the only other thing will be the cover. I can’t do that until I begin the publishing process, when I will be given a cover template to fit the page count. I know what I want to do for the cover, so once I have the template it should go quickly.
So here we are on the other side of Thanksgiving, with the end of the year barreling toward us. I have other projects I need to wrap up in the next couple of weeks, so I will be busy as an elf for a while.
I hope all of you had a warm and safe Thanksgiving. I enjoyed getting together with family once again.
What end-of-year projects are you working on?
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
The past few weeks have been hectic, as this time of year often is. Add a sick child in, and it’s a little more fraught than normal.
I am awaiting my family history book from my proofreaders. I have gathered all the title pages, trees, and photos, so once I clean up the text, I will be ready to go. I may have some significant trimming to do, as I realized that this book is 290 pages, while the other one I did was only 145. I don’t mind the book being longer, but I am afraid the price point would be prohibitive.
I just hopped on today to wish everyone who celebrates a Merry Christmas! If you celebrate something else, enjoy your holiday season! And I wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe New Year!
See you all in 2022!
