Preparing to publish
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2016 5:19 pm
Well, I've decided to get the first book in the Convergence trilogy ready to publish on Amazon. (Thanks Kyle for pointers on how to get started! 
)
Looking over their formatting guidelines, I have a lot of work to do to change the way I did things. I used things like smaller fonts in some spots to indicate different things and some line borderlines that I don't think their formatting will like either. I also think that I may do away with the Chapter numbers altogether and simply have the chapters be identified by the Date and World-line, starting a new chapter every time the world-line changes, but not having a new "research log" entry unless it is a new "scene". (Sometimes I shift from one universe to another in the same scene...)
I may put something like "Research Notes:" before those sections to make it clear that is what it is as well. The other option is to take them out and format them as actual pages and insert them as images... That might be interesting... Ooh. I might see how that works! I turn text into images easily enough...
