This week I spent all my writing time, editing and
formatting my nonfiction book. Formatting a 270 page book with more than 100
photos can be a pain, and it is. Word does not always like to put photos or
captions where I want or need them, but I am learning more about how it works.
Not sure I will be doing another book with so many pictures anytime soon. I might
be reaching a bit with that as I have a finished, children’s book, with 20, or
so, pictures.
I am eager to finish up these two books and get on
with the two westerns that I have ready for final formatting and editing. I
work at a rate of only about four or five pages an hour right now, hope to
double that production soon. Who knows? Maybe for an old retired history
teacher, four or five pages an hour is the new record.
Back at it in the morning. Hope to finish both of
these projects by the end of the months, not a new year’s resolution, but a
goal.
Meanwhile I will leave with a photo of my little
town from Roundtop Mountain, about three miles away.

Haven't tried the picture thing yet after reading some instructions. Your town has a nice stream running by. What river is it? Not the Sweetwater?
That is the North Platte River, the Railroad Bridge in the photo is a half mile north of the Oregon Trail. The Mormon Trail in this area is two miles north of the spot I took this photo.
