Voodoo Child v. 16: it doesn't have to be eternal to be immortal.

Yippee. What a great week. First I have a Wii for my birthday from Husbandido (thanks! now I can get my ass handed to me playing tennis). Secondly, it's a great day. The freaky firerworks get on my nerves though. At any rate, with the book done, I can focus on other things...like Sim City 4. VoodooLand is currently struggling, but hey, it's my first go and it's comedy so far.

Regarding the book: a few deets to share.

1) I chose blurb.com largely because they had a software (free) that I can use to lay it out. I was afraid that doing it myself would have given me some blurry pictures, etc, and even though I knew I had a vision of what the book would look like, it's always easier to drop it in. The project was EASY to do once I had everything.

2) The other option was lulu.com, but you would have to use the templates and DIY. I'm all for that, but I know that would have taken me a lot longer. it IS cheaper though, and my next project will probably use Lulu.

3) It doesn't have an ISBN, but Lulu would have been helpful in that regard. 

4) It really did take me a month to do the entire book, from hunting down contributors and collecting their work.  

5) If I could do it differently, I would have done the larger format EARLIER. It turned out I did it wrong, and that's my fault. But next time, it will probably be coffee table size. But that's more expensive, so ya know. Maybe not.

6) I've updated the website. Surprise, surprise, it's a featured book. I'm honored, but I hope it's because it's good, not because it's by default.

That's it for now. I have an early morning to get to, so night night!

Voodoo

PS: congrats to Ms.M&M. It never ceases to amaze me how people can really take advantage of another person, esp. when that person is a good person. Now that you're free, enjoy it. You deserve happiness.
