Including time spent during that conference on Sunday, I reached the end of Chapter 4 in my proofreading process! Chapter 5 is the shortest of the book, and after that I have only the end matter, so I am getting closer to my goal. There are only a total of about 32 pages left to review, but some of those are a collection of the exercises from earlier in the book, so those are already proofread. I’m perhaps a day or two from finishing this step and I’m feeling pretty excited about it!
My next step will be to type the changes into Scrivener and then download Pro Writing Aid for a review pass. After that, the final step in my review process is to read the book out loud to myself and listen for errors, etc.
Then there’s the formatting and creating the bonus materials, which is a little bit of a drag, to be honest, but by the time I get that far, hopefully I’ll be excited enough to push forward to the release!
In the meantime, it really is getting to be time to let my list know that this is coming and start building up some buzz, so I’m going to have to look at updating my web page for it and writing a few emails.
