Productive Day

After finishing the notifications this morning, I have been busy with Freedom's Cry. With my editors telling me I needed to make changes to the book, I wasn't very happy, but with this final edit and revision, I can honestly say, the book is even better than it was before. I worked on nine chapters today, editing and enhancing the book to make it stronger in description and dialogue. Sometimes, it's a good thing when things are stalled. I'm done with it for today. I've also been getting the apartment ready for tomorrow morning's inspection by Housing. With all I did to get the apartment ready for the last inspection a month ago, it really doesn't need much, just some tidying. So now I'm back and will interact for a little bit before I get away from the computer for some much needed R&R on my back. The recliner is very inviting. I also need to make something to eat. With what little I ate yesterday, I've been hiking up my water intake. I think I've consumed about a gallon already, so dehydration is not an issue. After the inspection tomorrow, I might celebrate with that yet untouched, ice cream in the freezer. We'll see. It's lasted this long. I hope your day has been productive as well. Let me know about your day in comments. Thanks for reading.

Happy that Freedom's Cry will soon be complete.. Today I faced my usual problems with the internet, but my day was productive offline.

I'm glad you had a good day offline. Sorry you had Internet problems. Yes, I'm getting there. Just 300 pages to go and a lot of that I've already done before I decided to start over and do a complete final edit and revision.

It's not finished yet. I'm only a third of the way through the final edit of the book and the revisions that need to be made to it.

@just4him I'm sure it passed inspection. I had ice cream three nights in a row and Chinese food tonight. I may not be able to fit into a mother of the groom gown. Oh, my!!!! I may need to buy a tent! Enjoy that ice cream! Mine is all gone.

@DianneN Still untouched. I stepped on the scale for my weekly weigh in and gained three pounds, and I haven't had anything sweet. Today I'm having ice cream.

It's actually on my to-do list for today. I'll probably break that carton open soon. The inspection went well. At least I think it did. He checked everything to make certain it was in working order and considering the size of my apartment it took all of 5 minutes.

I'm glad the book has improved for the additional work on it. I wonder how long that ice-cream will last.

Thank you. That's not the final cover. There are a couple changes that are coming as soon as I get this last edit and revision complete.

Wow! Must have been busy! I love the cover, and the font. What font is that?

I don't know what font it is, but that's not the final cover yet. Two changes will take place first - the flag needs correcting and my name will have a different color so you can see it.
