Well, you've read the notes, the notes were long (not really), and now it is time for you to post until the long cows come home.

I had one rather vivid dream, but it's already fading from my mind.  I also had a dream about Anna Karenina and Vronski, who were trying to settle in Manhattan.  Or was it LA?

This morning, I will go back to City Center and deal with whatever score Joshie has left for me.  He may not be there since he is involved with this gala concert of The Secret Garden.  I'll work on whatever he's left for me, then leave.

Createspace has really been excellent, resourceful and cooperative, but there were problems getting my last book to look decent on Kindle, possibly because they were mainly lyrics.

Yesterday, my sister-in-law Jo sent me the property tax bill.  However, she did not tell me how much I owe, so I'm  waiting for her to confirm I owe the State of Ohio $600+. 

Chelsea Music managed to get a copy of my W-2 from the Duck Dynasty production company, and the top of the W-2 says Employer Reference Copy - Do Not File.  I emailed the W-2 to my accountant and now I'm waiting for word on whether this copy will suffice or not.

I hate being on hold!

TOD:

I don't own a Kindle.  I just sell books on that format, as well as in paperback.

Thus far, after several years of doing it, I've had no complaints, so I assume everything is okay.

If you publish through CreateSpace, which I do with my plays, they will handle the Kindle version for you.  Or, you can do it yourself, as I do.  It's really a very simple process.

Usually, in any given month,  I sell more books on Kindle than in Paperback. 

Times are certainly changing.  Personally, I like to hold a physical book in my hands.

I've now read several books on Kindle (the iPad app, not an actual Kindle) and enjoyed it all just fine.  I occasionally get thrown momentarily, when flipping back and forth for a few pages, to find the layout of paragraphs or illustrations changing position, but I think that's just the nature of the beast.  And I'm the odd man out here, because I'm usually very comfortable with Times New Roman.

Re BK's books:  I read WELCOME TO MY WORLD on it before BK was shipping the hard copies, and it was fine.  Two pages were wonky -- the acknowledgments and the list of musical numbers.  I don't recall anything else.  I also have RED GOLD -- which was actually my first Kindle book -- and even though I read the real book, I did flip through the Kindle version and don't recall anything unusual or amiss.

Otherwise, I've read THE MARTIAN, ASTRONAUTS WIVES CLUB, HELLRAISERS, and I'm in the middle of a large book by a music director, none of which have presented any problems or distractions.

That's what I thought, DR Jane.  These were sent electronically from the doctor's office to the pharmacy, which I don't totally trust.  Just glad it's not life or death medication...

Yes, I called this morning.  I was afraid someone at the doctor's office had forgotten to press SEND after entering the prescriptions into their computer.  That's happened before - but not this time.

CreateSpace is not Kindle and vice versa.  All you do when you use create space is what you'd do if you didn't use CreateSpace - upload that document to Kindle.  That's how it works.  I did Welcome to My World via CreateSpace and it's perfect - what I previewed on Kindle was not and it was the CreateSpace document.  Word and Kindle are not happy bed partners.  I read up on it last night.  If, for example, you tab over for your paragraph indentations, which everyone on the planet does, it doesn't like that, hence the paragraph indentations are wonky, at least in the preview version.  You're supposed to set up the tab over before you write so it's done without using the tab button, but I couldn't figure out how to do that, frankly.   

Also, I'm told that every Kindle device and every eReader is different and will display differently depending on the person's settings and preferences.  So, while it may look wonky in preview it may not on an actual Kindle.  Then I read an article by someone who's "mastered" the art of Kindle, but her books look NOTHING like books and I don't like that.  But that's what Kindle is - it's a text flow and you can't think in conventional book design terms.  The ideal Kindle presentation is just text - no fonts, no centering chapter headings - it's nutty to me and not a world I care to be in.  I will continue trying to figure out how to set the paragraph tab so I don't have to tab and then I'll see if that helps - because everything else is fine on the preview Kindle.  I've done a save as so I won't hurt what's there now and can go right back to it.

Weird!  I've never had any book like that.  I have a Kindle Keyboard (originally called the Kindle, 3rd Generation), and I read a lot of books on it.  I still buy a few physical books (like BK's), but the Kindle is more convenient because I usually read when I eat, so I don't have to use one hand to hold the book open (especially if it's a small paperback that CAN'T stay open on its own) and try to eat with a knife and fork with one hand...that doesn't work, at all.

I'm not too picky about what font is used, but I don't like the font to be too big or too small.  A co-worker of mine has a program to convert other kinds of e-books to epub (I think) and makes EVERYTHING she reads on her tablet match the way she wants them.  Even if they're perfectly normal, if the book font isn't to her liking, she can change them.  That's a bit too anal-retentive, even for me.

I thought things were supposed to get less frustrating the older I got!

I sent the pdf of the DuckDynasty W-2 to my accountant yesterday, No word.  So today I sent an email asking if it was okay. His reply: what W-2?  So, I sent it again and there's been no word from him.

A week ago, I paid for an order with Paypal, and i have the Paypal invoice.  Today I sent the vendor an inquiry: what's going on? No response.

I finally heard about the check; ut hasn't been sent yet.

I am completely devastated. My "godson" Sam Jones, whose father Tom wrote "the Fantasticks," just contacted me to tell me that his mother Janet has died. I knew she had been in terrible health, and it's been four years since I last saw her. I so loved Janet. She was a wonderful friend.

when I was semi-paralyzed and had neck surgery in December 1999, she lied to the hospital staff and told them she was my sister.  When I woke up in recovery, there she was. Oooih, you look so good," she said. RIP, Sis!

Janet was the mother of Sam and Mike, my unofficial godsons, wife of Tom Jones, and sister of the wonderful Broadway soprano Susan Watson.  She worked a lot as a choreographer and she was always upbeat and positive.  Her illness was really horrifying and she suffered with it for maybe six years. I'm glad she's at peace.

Sam just notified me and invited me to a memoria;l for March 1.  I'll be there.

Well, I'm not feeling too well (not horrible at all, just a little wonky), so I'm going to go home, take a little nap, and hope that I feel better for tonight's show.  I'm sure I'll be fine, but I just don't want to struggle with it here at work.

Until later.

Janet was the mother of Sam and Mike, my unofficial godsons, wife of Tom Jones, and sister of the wonderful Broadway soprano Susan Watson.  She worked a lot as a choreographer and she was always upbeat and positive.  Her illness was really horrifying and she suffered with it for maybe six years. I'm glad she's at peace.

Sam just notified me and invited me to a memoria;l for March 1.  I'll be there.

Sincere condolences.

I am completely devastated. My "godson" Sam Jones, whose father Tom wrote "the Fantasticks," just contacted me to tell me that his mother Janet has died. I knew she had been in terrible health, and it's been four years since I last saw her. I so loved Janet. She was a wonderful friend.

when I was semi-paralyzed and had neck surgery in December 1999, she lied to the hospital staff and told them she was my sister.  When I woke up in recovery, there she was. Oooih, you look so good," she said. RIP, Sis!


My deepest sympathies, elmore.

I did some eBook research - tried to upload an html version but it was still screwy.  So, Amazon had several companies they said help convert these files exactly as Kindle wants them, whatever their latest best file type is (I think it's called Mobi).  So, I e-mailed one of the companies and they got right back to me - I sent them a PDF of the designed book and the Word doc I did that I tried to upload.  He says he can absolutely work with those files and the cost is sixty bucks.  Needless to say, I told him to do it.  It will be done within a week and it will look just as it should on Kindle and other eReaders.
