Update on Research
I have been busily working on Where Our Roots Rest
books. I have finished writing and
putting them together, and this past month have been working on indexes and
proofreading.
Indexes, oh my!
One of the problems with publishing has been a software-publishing
program that I have been satisfied with.
I love Microsoft Publisher; however, it does not have an indexing
feature. After struggling with publishing
in Microsoft Word, I decided I would go ahead, use Publisher, and create my own
index. As it turns out, that is much
easier said than done!!!! It ended up
being a massive project and took so much time.
However, Word does not meet my publishing needs, so there is no easy
answer. Now that I have completed one
index, I am hoping that future indexes will be a little easier albeit still
time consuming.
After pricing out publishing costs and deeming them too
expensive, I purchased materials to self-print.
After all, distributing
information about our family is my priority, not fancy printing! So, last night the printing began!
And then. . . my computer froze! Ugh!
Suddenly, you think about everything you have NOT backed up! At 2 a.m. I was finally able to get my
computer to shut down and when I restarted it, everything was there saved in “auto-recovery”
documents. (And no, I am not saving
things to the Cloud; that’s another blog post!)
So first thing this morning I am doing my monthly back up
and considering my prayers of last night answered.
