Well, good. I guess I can copy it to use for desktop wallpaper then! |

So I got a good bit of my "afterward" written today, then delete about 1/2 of it. Didn't like the way it read.. so I decided to work on my GIMP skills... Cut and Paste is not that as easy as it is in "paint"... So I worked on that.. made a hash over most of it. Worked on blending a little.. and color matching.. that I don't have perfect, but well.. This is the best I have today anyway. Spoiler: click to toggle

Tomorrow's another day! That's really good - don't sweat the shadow, you can put that in later! |

Thank you. <sigh> I'll have to start from scratch, shadows have to be added before all the layers are merged. It's just something that I didn't think about at the time. I have a lot to learn still. |

Eh, see, I know very little about "making art" out of things like that. My extent with graphics is website stuff. |

Here are a couple of U-Tube tutorials that are pretty helpful. Webinar: Self publishing with Create-space Yes this IS an illustrated Children's book, but she is speaking slowly and clearly, enough to catch what she says and most of it would transfer over ( except maybe the pictures ) How to publish a Paperback with Create-space A Short article about ISBN's.. it's a quickie.. but all still gives a lot of answers to question's that you'd need answered...( :book: ) ISBN for Self-Publishing |

i have nothing to add this week, The only thing I have managed to get done is printing out both books and then reading through both and finding a couple of odd typo's... like 'word' instead of 'sword' and a few places where I changed a few words just because I thought it read better... just small thing's, but ones I think will help a lot. |

For me yes... and it was actually pretty neat reading what I wrote on paper... This week I am going to work on the Glossary and fixing on the PC the typos and other thing's I have changed.. then.. learn to format! Their are a couple of "free" tools for that.. as I plan on formatting for both e-books and paper-back.. The only reason I would need a "hardcover" format is if a Publishing house picked me up.. which, isn't really likely.. but can be done then! |

If a publishing house picks you up, they'll do the reformat and re-edits. Or at least it used to work that way. |

Got a question for ya Sis... I got most of my web-site up and going ( not published yet ).. the choices I have include a couple thing's I know I don't need.. some I might want later though.. To start I was going to do a month to month plan, but that doesn't have a ( free ) domain attached to it.. the question is do I need one? to start with or not at all.. or maybe later.. I have no clue. <sigh> the only issues I am having ( switched to Wix ) is pictures.. most of them are getting cut off and won't crop small enough on the site.. so I guess I need to make them smaller before I upload them.. |

Well, there's the branding situation. If you start on a free domain, and then in a few months you want to move to a fully qualified domain name, it's going to cause a bunch of grief even with an on-load redirect from the free domain (if it will even allow you to add a redirect - some of them don't). I can buy a domain name for you for $15 a year. Tell me what you're looking at, and let me see if it's available. If you have a domain registered, will the host you're looking at let you use that and still get the really cheap hosting? On the graphics, is there a support forum on Wix somewhere? If so, try a search there (or just on google) for something like "using Wix graphic resize crop issue". Edited by Serethil, May 19 2018, 11:48 AM.

I'll have to look into some of that.. I know it asks if I have my own domain ( course I don't ) but I don't know the answers to the rest. Michael wants to go see a movie today.. <blah> so I'll have to do most of that tonight or tomorrow. Well I'll look into it.. I don't know if it makes a difference either way.. but when I get "The Gift" finished, I will be publishing that one also.. now the site won't have the books, but will have links to Amazon and/or Kindle.. that book is pretty much Rated R...maybe even XXX... The Mission book's will also have sex in them.. not as graphic probably, but The Gift is different. |
