A Temporary Cure for Book Hangover

Yes. I'm suffering from a moderately severe case of Book Hangover.

THIS BOOK... The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

Oh, yeah...and like Lucy Hutton, I can admit it...I love Joshua Templeman.

See, and that's a problem since all I want to do is go back to the beginning and start all over again. Not just reread all those special parts, nah...I want the whole shebang.

But, I have 'stuff' to do, (like making my word count for the day!) and previewing the paperback copy of Shadow of the Summer Moon.

And...that's where the cure kicked in.

Self-publishing means I have to do all the stuff. Well, most of it. Write the thing. Proof-read, edit, proof-read again, kill my darlings, (i.e. "even if it's my most precious part, cut it or make it un-cut-able"), send it off for pro-editing, get it back, cry little tears, make corrections...this kind of thing goes on for a while. Then, after all that, download my baby and preview it...page by page. (Didn't I already do this, like, one hundred times? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did.)

So, I click 'preview', sit back and wait while it processes, thinking the entire time about how I could grab my Kindle and start rereading my most recent favorite book when this pops up...

WARNING

Uhhh.... what?

An hour later, I've fixed all but one of the problems and resubmitted the file. There's still that one pesky WARNING, but I have faith it will work out just fine.

And for that one hour, I was cured of Book Hangover. I can get on with my life now. Make my word count for the day. Then, go out and enjoy the sunshine with my Kindle and my two new BFFs, Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman.
