Well, I can think of no better way to celebrate the final finishing, polishing, tweaking, and editing of a novella than this way:

Well put up a link when you do it and remember not to freak out after you hit the final save and publish button.  In about 12 hours you can frantically rush back in and make changes to all those little things that have you worried.   ::)

Also if you have any issues with the formatting of your file screwing the e-book fonts.  Just let me know.  My brother knows how to set it up nice and pretty.

Make sure to put up a link!

Thanks, everyone!

Scrivener seems to have done a flawless conversion, except for eating the acknowledgments page.  I've already crapped myself and uploaded a version with some corrections.  Did it first thing this morning, so it's live now.  I expect when the royalty payment comes, I shall purchase a pony made of diamonds.

Or, more likely, a grape, maybe...

In any case, it's exciting as hell and I'd like to thank everyone for the encouragement, general advice and such.

It's beautiful! Used Shecky's link and it downloaded great. I won't get a chance to read it for a bit. (Two unfinished reads in my hopper already and one is Jack Gantos' book that won the 2013 Newbery Metal. I will be hearing him Dec 7th.) When I do get it read, I'll post a review. Hugs and congrats! Love the synopsis teaser you posted.

So when are we going to get to read a book about the actual Terror?  Everything I've read keeps hitting around the margins.

The actual novels are from Shaifennen's PoV.  I've got one scene left to write on "A Kiss For Damocles," then I can start the 2nd draft/polishing.  Her story will work out to at least three books.  There's another novella that'll I'm polishing now for self-publishing which is from Zeddie's PoV.

Good word count production for several days. Some concrete plot planning. Generally feeling good, but a bit frazzled. Zero-ing in on that mid point confrontation with alarming speed and a lot to complete before I get there. Sometimes, I can't wait until I can really dig into revision work, but for now it's charge forward into the smelly muck of the first rough draft.
