My PC decided to go on the fritz and I worked on it all day. Finally threw up my hands and went back to an older pc that I had. Managed to get the most important stuff off so I can continue working. Spent another few hours loading apps I need. ARRRGH!

On the plus side, I’ve got the independant EPUB creation down pat now. Went from 5-6 hours on the first one to about 45 min on the 4th one. The key is having the Word Doc be SMASHWORDABLE — I understand why the Smashwords style guide is so finicky.
