Book Update

I wanted to give everyone on update on how publication is going.  I have to say "not good" but I'm working on it.  I edited the book for errors (I do not have the money to pay an editor yet) and went to upload it to find out my images were not high enough in resolution.  Without images, there is NO book because that is what the botanical portion of the book is about: images of the rosemary plant in various stages of growth.  This morning I discovered that Word is set to default reducing the resolution of the images so I may be able to get this fixed and go on with publication.  The real sticking point is going to be not being a LLC.  We recently had a major issue with my husband and got hit with a huge debt as a family because he is a sole-proprietor instead of a LLC.  I will not risk that happening with me.  Therefore I can get it ready to go but I can't hit that "publish" button until I can change my status to LLC and have this function like that form of business.  I have learned first-hand just how expensive and painful being a sole-prop can be and I cannot risk that even further.  To file as a LLC requires money I do not have.  I will get as far in the process as I can and let you know when my book is available.

Thank you all for your continued support.  Once I have the book set to publish, I will resume normal blog posts and the next herb book will be about peppermint and spearmint.  They are both growing really well outside my front door for the second year in a row and I'm quite pleased with it! 

Also, I am writing a book on runes as well as planning to release a poetry book.  I have been writing poetry for 30 years.  I know that not everyone likes poetry and I think even less like mine but poetry is an art and that is my form of artistic expression.  When I was in school, my creative writing teacher told me it wasn't poetry unless there was a twist at the end.  I disagree.  He was speaking about Shakespearean poetry.  I am not him, I am me.  I am quite excited to see how my person art is received by the community.  Once I get over this hurdle of learning the formatting they need, I expect this to be a great experience that will expand my horizons farther than I can imagine!
