Goal 1) Publish The Atheist’s Inferno
- My Goal: Finish final proofread/edit by end of May; format ebook, handle keywords & categories, and publish by end of June
- Where I planned to be: Working on proofread
- Where I am: Done with the proofread
- On Target or Behind: On Target
How’s It Going:
Got a little worried the weather was gonna stop me earlier, but thankfully we’ve only been losing power for a minute or two at a time.
I decided my budget is blown enough already, and I’m running out of time, so I’m forgoing getting a final proofread from Audrey. I’ve run the manuscript through a basic grammar and spelling check through Google Docs, and parsed through Grammarly suggestions on word choice and punctuation. Then I combed through Audrey’s comments again for the formatting and punctuation fixes she sprinkled in, and checked for some of my most common “errors” (like putting an “s” at the end of toward and backward…try as I might, I just can’t take the Texan out of me.) I’m pretty confident that anything more would just be piddling, so I’m calling the proofread done.
It kind of falls somewhere between the proofread and actually formatting the ebook, but next week I’m going to finalize my chapter and scene breaks before importing the manuscript into Kindle Create. We’re getting close!
