Before I Get Lost In The Artwork I Need To Get A Couple Of Books Into Print

'Small Town USA: It's All a Matter of Perspective' is ready for the final formatting touches so it can get printed, and so is 'The Story Behind the Story' re: 'They Are My Song' - and THAT one needs another bit added here and there as well, come to think of it.

The thing about SONG is that even STILL I run across things in my continuing research about things that just sort of popped themselves into that book - so the mystic stuff is on-going and will probably never stop. I can't put out new print versions of 'The Story Behind the Story' every time I want to add another bit, although the Kindle version might get periodic adjustments as new things turn up.

SONG has been 'different' from the outset; it's not designed to be 'an easy read'. The Characters make people laugh; they make them cry - but the most telling comments I've gotten are that they make people THINK.

But enough of SONG for the moment - it's constantly drawing me back into it (it'll do that: BEWARE) and I have other things to do for the time being.

It's kind of like having a dozen kids all clamoring for attention at the same time.

Onward.

The print formatting for these books, once I get the hang of it, isn't really all that HARD or even too very time-consuming - I just have to sit down and DO IT.

I have to say that doing the actual WRITING in files that are pre-set for sizing, fonts, page numbers, headers, and cover/blank pages helps tremendously. AND using spell-check ahead of time. 

One of these days I'm going to get it perfect the first time out of the chute, but I'm not holding my breath on that.  

But if I'm going to have print books for this spring and summer, I'd probably better get them PRINTED.
