Final Graphics for Whimsi’s Cover

Here’s the final rendition of the paperback cover for Whimsi.

Had to remove a couple of items, then make a copy with lower dpi to upload here. Oh, the things we learn!

I wonder why every project I undertake turns out to be a learning process! Seems like at some point I could start utilizing all the stuff I’ve learned for new projects. Ha! But, maybe that’s just one of the idiosyncrasies of life.

The cover is ready, but it looks like it will be a few more days until the manuscript is finished so I can upload it to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). My daughter and I are really anxious to get this story finished and ready to order! I promise, it WILL be SOON!

Is this a life principle? It’s just the way things work!

Hope your day is splendiferous!

Great Progress this Week on Whimsi!

We’re Getting Closer!

Well, it has been a pretty challenging few days this week, but we are getting a LOT closer to publishing the paperback edition of Whimsi and the Big Election! I spent two very long days designing and finishing the cover. In the end, I had to have Ruth help me finish up. She is much more experienced than I with the graphics app we use, which – if anyone is interested – is the Corel Paintshop Pro 2018.

I wanted to post a picture of the final cover here, but right now my webhost gives me a message that it is too large. So, I opted for the one you see at the left. However, if you would like to see what Whimis’s cover will look like when it is eventually published, you can go over to Whimsi’s Facebook page. Just click HERE.

I am SO looking forward to getting this project done! Even though I wrote the story, I still truly enjoy it! Plus, I believe Whimsi’s story has some wonderful – even vital – lessons for young children (and for some of us older kids, too!).

Blessing to all. Keep walking with the King!

Plans for Whimsi book . . . And Delays!

Hey, everyone!

When my daughter Kimberly and I finally finished the Kindle eBook version of Whimsi’s World: Whimsi and the Big Election last August we also made plans to release it as a paperback on Amazon here in mid-October. Ah, yes. Great intentions! Indeed!

Well, I attempted to get into that process a few days ago and discovered that I need to create a full manuscript of the book and upload it as a .pdf file. That’s not impossible, but it does mean I will need to formulate each page individually and include it in a single file for that purpose. Just some extra steps, but it does create somewhat of a delay in our plans.

Oh, well! It will get done in due time!

Keep your eyes open for the announcement when the paperback is ready!

I’ll let you know!

Loren
