Thanks, guys!

I have to admit, I know I should start from scratch and redo the whole thing in WORD, then convert to pdf. I hate XP's WORD and trying to figure out the formatting to satisfy CreateSpace at Amazon. I was looking for a shortcut. CafePress lost the pdf, (after seven years of using it!) which had my font size correct at 12pt. Through various harddrive crashes, the only version I have saved is a first attempt at 10pt. Too small AND it leaves blank, numbered pages which looks amateurish and stupid. There are also a few small changes to be made.

I was working on formatting Prairie Child for release this year, but the formatting was driving me nuts, so my thinking was I'd do a second edition of WindWords to get it up quickly and easily on Amazon. Thanks to you, Will, for doing the cover. Unfortunately, they printed everything with an end of ink run or something and the colours look yellowed out and the black printing on the back is too faint. They will print a new proof, no problem, as they realise that was their problem, but the interior is up to me to fix. That means I have to start all over. I may well move on to Prairie Child, instead, just to get a new book out this year, if I have to mess with the formatting "adventure" anyway.

Will, you are too generous! I couldn't ask more after all you have done already. Thanks so much. I know I will get some book out and soon, I hope. I would like it to be WindWords, followed by Prairie Child. The grandson goes back to school in a month, so I'll have more free time, then. Maybe more brain cells, too.:-)

I shall try to start later today on the formatting. I do have a decent pdf creator, so no problem once I get it done.

Thanks, again!
