I'm so upset because the person who reviewed my book decided it didn't need proper editing and sent it on to a text-formatter. I noticed there were a few typos I missed in the manuscript.
My book is a mess and it's going to be printed with ugly a** typos.
I misunderstood and I thought my book was going to get proper editing for gramatical errors at least.

What the hell! Some people really need to learn their job. Is there any chance to intercept it?

I sent an e-mail asking my contact if there is any way that I can request my book is assigned to an editor despite the opinion of the person who reviewed it. I'm waiting for an answer.
The company can wave the contract in my face all day if they don't forgive my misunderstanding. I was suppose to give them a "complete" manuscript, and I felt that I did, but I thought it was going to get proper editing even though I already proof-read it.
Nice signature by the way.

:sigh: red tape. Let's hope they opt for wanting a better quality product rather then not wanting to shell out that extra work.
Yeah. I was trying out some of the editing features in photobucket and this I liked.

I like using gimp. Its a free photoshop like program. I'll have to send you a piece I did for Ruby's poster.
Before I came to my dad's I was working on a postcard.

Cool cool. Never heard of Gimp, but hey a lot of good stuff out there is free. The problem is that being free mean nobody has money to advertise.
I shall be waiting for postcard.
