D-O-N-E

It's been just about 1 year since my book proposal was accepted. It has been a busy year but now I can say I am done!!!! Yay!!!! I packed up a box to send to the publisher tomorrow.  It includes:
1. flash drive with files for:

  • manuscript
  • footnotes
  • marketing survery
  • new book description
  • design notes

2. Four CDs with 250+ photos on them (they are BIG files)
3. hard copies of above said flash drive files
4. copies of release forms for items I borrowed
and
5. the author's checklist-because you really need a check list with all that required stuff!
To celebrate I paid my bills and cleaned the basement.  I know its not really done, because there will be many editorial issues to deal with in the coming months, but for now I am happy and breathing a lot easier.
My son took some author photos of me.  How about this one?
 How I felt formatting the footnotes.
Rock and Roll the reading glasses
 Happy
