[Continued from Part Five.]
So today is a pretty special day for me.
The artist on the children's book I've been writing about these last few weeks has officially finished the final illustrations. She sent everything along this morning and I had a chance to check it out before I left for work.
Even though it was but a quick look through the pages before I had to fly out the door, I'm ridiculously happy with how the art came out. It was more than a little mind-blowing to see something that started as nothing more than thoughts in my head come to life on the page.
From here, the real work begins for me.
I'll need to sit down and edit my text and make sure that the illustrations and the words mesh well together. I'm waiting on a final cover from the artist, but then it's GO GO GO to the printer with the files.
We're shooting for an October on-sale for the book, so I'll need to get things moving rather quickly from here, and I've still not 100% decided on a specific printer, though there is one that's leading the pack thus far.
I also need to figure out the marketing of the book and follow through on several ideas I've had to generate some buzz about the project online.
Right.
Lots of work ahead, but for today at least, I'm gonna enjoy where things stand.
