Today was largly invested in preparing posts from the DrM-Blog in Centaur MT font for publication (printing). The posts are then put into Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 and then distilled by Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 Expanded. The finished book (in Adobe Acrobat [.pdf] format) will then be transmitted electronically to Lightning Source for printing.
As I work I make editorial changes with regard to themes and chapters. I need to finish some administrative details such as purchasing a block of ISBN numbers, completing my Lightning Source registration, and exploring options for sales of the book.
The real challenge will be to see how to motivate readers to purchase the book. I had to decide whether to keep the journal/diary (day-by-day) format or to organize it by related themes and chapters. So far, themes and chapters are winning.
