This being my first attempt at publishing, I took a while to reformat everything until I had the feeling that everything would fit. The redoing of the cover and adding the back cover took ages on its own, partly also due to the fact that lulu's page would not accept it in one of the formats it said it supported (another reason I dislike working with PDFs). The tech support never came back to me so I had to have the cover reformatted, which was an unfortunate blow to my wallet... again.
But all the minor setbacks aside, the book is finished and ready on lulu. The only thing remaining now is putting it up on Smashwords and approving the hardcopy to be sold at other retailers like amazon. To do the latter, I had to purchase an author copy and review it to see if I'm satisfied with the final product. Imagining holding said book in my hands makes me all sorts of nervous, truth be told, but it had to happen sooner or later.
Once that's done, all I need to do is set the timing right for the releases and prepare any promotional tools I can afford...
