Stephano's Market

One thing I should probably remove is the "corporatacracy" section. That isn't actually part of the book. I just thought it seemed creepy and shocking so I threw it in there. The reason why I bring that up, is thats the only place where I say basically, all competition is eliminated. I should really remove that section because actually in the story Stephano's Market does not eliminate the competition. Kmart, Wal Mart, Safeway, and Albertsons all still exist in whidbey island, it is just that they are in Oak Harbor, and Stephano's Market is conveniently located on the other side of the island. (So in other words, it is simply a long drive to the other places, but they do exist.)

That would definitely be an important thing to change. Yeah.

One more glitchy thing--When I click FAQ, the tab that appears highlighted is Beer Approval.

Corporatacracy has therefore now been removed. I can't figure out how to fix that other glitch though.....

although it seems to have fixed itself for now. Not currently happening to me anyway Razz

I'm curious about the burned documents. Fire built; documents destroyed.

What's the progress on the book?

(speaking of which, I need to get to finishing those two songs I had critiqued....)

I definitely want for people viewing my web site to be curious in regards to the pictures and the story-- I am glad that I succeeded at it with you in that area. Smile

The book is going great. I am in the final phases of the writing process. I also finished the layout for the cover. It is very basic, but completely succeeds for me. I will send you a picture of it soon Smile

November 7th came a little fast. Thoguh the book is going extremely well, I am going to have to delay its release in order to get it done the way I want it. I am thinking more along the lines of November 20 now. I'll have to update my website tomorrow

I was wondering how that was going. Sad

Sorry it was delayed.

Yeah, its not that I am reaching a slow down in the writing process-- it is that school and work is a bitch. (Especially school) Man, I hate school this quarter. I have never had so much homework in my life, primarily on subjects that I am very tired of.

SWEET, I got my copy of my book today in the mail, and the formatting is WONDERFUL. I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I am still seeing some typos and small errors. That is, by far, the toughest thing to do as a writer, is go back and re-read your whole book looking for little errors. The reason why it is so tough, is quite honestly, because by the time I am finished writing a story, I am DONE WITH IT. TIRED OF IT. You get the idea. You spend a long time on any one project and it starts to wear on you.

Anyway, if anyone wants to help by being a proof-reader, PLEASE let me know! This is an exhausting process for the person who wrote the story.

Otherwise it is looking really good. I couldn't be happier with how the layout worked out. THe quality is GREAT!

(And I am also very happy with how the story itself turned out. Now, I have about a week of editing it before I call it official.)
