Carpe Diem Scroto The Book blog

Well, I still have yet to get the edited book back from the Editor. He sent me a message asking to extend the deadline by 3 days, so I agreed to extend it. It was supposed to be back to me by 10/16 and I agreed to extend it to 10/20, so we'll see what is going to happen from there.

Also, I have been working on the webpage for the book www.cdsthebook.com and finishing up the ordering page, and it looks like I am going to be able to offer the book on Apple Books, Google Books, Kobo, Barns & Noble, and Amazon. Barns and Noble and Amazon will have both the eBook and the paperback, the others will only have eBook. The amount of hoop jumping I'm having to do in order to get these services setup has been interesting and can see why people suggest having a Literary Agent. But I am a hands-on type of person, and I like to figure things out the best I can, without having to pay out of pocket. That's why I use free services like Weebly, Square, Talkatone, and other such services. One, it helps me keep costs down, and two, I get to learn how to do things on my own. I can do basic HTML coding from scratch and type out the programing that I need, but when it comes to adding JAVA, CSS, and other programming languages, I rather use a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) so that way it looks more professional and not a website designed in 1996.

So, with everything else going on in my personal day to day, it's kind of nice to let things get worked on in the background so that I can focus on other projects.
