So I have waited on my friend the design pro who has exceeded my expectations.

The only one really "hurt" by your need to delay is you.

LOL. So I suppose you can say delays have been beneficial. They've taught me how to format poetry for Kindle, and learn how to use Photoshop properly :)Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-49329694374203543592012-09-04T22:25:16.461-04:002012-09-04T22:25:16.461-04:00Delays can be a blessing in disguise, absolutely! ...Delays can be a blessing in disguise, absolutely! I remember going through that when I self-published CINDERS. Now that it is being republished with a publisher, I realize that even more delays might have made it better when I first did it, but I still learned a lot as it was, and it still ended up being a great project and done well. I wish you the best with yours!Michelle D.

I'd intended to have my sequel published in the late spring. But my mom ended up having 4 major surgeries in the last 12 months. So the sequel is late, and that's okay.Connie Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774616533630985219noreply@blogger.com
