Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell

TGIF

 

Another Friday has rolled around. I hope you are ready for the weekend. Maybe I should say I hope the weekend is coming at a good time.

I have been waiting for my proof of Circumstances of Childhood that shipped on September 4th. I found out UPS is having service issues and sent it back to Amazon. It will be reshipped to arrive by the 18th. Once I the proof is in my hand it takes me several hours to review The setup. If there are any changes, then Amazon takes 24 hours to check to make sure the book is printable. The second proof takes five days to reach me.

So, now I have to do the math to see if I can make an October 1 launch for the print version. I can certainly do Kindle. Let’s see. The proof reaches me on the 18th. I submit changes on the 18th. Amazon takes until the 19th to verify the changes can work. I order the second proof which arrives on the 25th. Assuming no changes, I can hit publish and make it. YAY.  I cannot have any further delays though. Today’s John Ku talks about best-laid plans.

Best Laid Plans By John W. Howell

The well thought out plans,

Always finish perfectly. . .

Unless they go wrong.

  1. I love today’s John Ku. Some things we can’t control – even with contingency plans. Whenever Circumstances is launched, we will celebrate with you. 🙂

  2. I hope everything goes on schedule for you, John. I’m having satellite problems with my Google server here in India. This is the third day and it’s improved a little. In the paper, it said there were sun storms causing satellite problems. It’s always something. I love the dog up top. 🙂 — Suzanne

  3. Hope you get the proof soon. Maybe doing the eBook on October 1st and the paperback a little later isn’t a bad thing. You can make two ‘Book is Live’ promos or create some suspense. (I might not be very good at finding a silver lining here.)

    Enjoy your weekend. 😀

  8. Very apt Johnku – what would we do without online storage/cloud technology these days… 🙂 Although acts of God like Harvey and Irma will still wreak havoc somewhere along the physical line no matter how much we try to prepare. Hope your publication schedule doesn’t get any more interruptions now! ❤
