After much Kindle formatting, my book is now available as a paperback and e-book!!!

I was going to save this post for next week because my books were anticipated to arrive April 3rd, but they came in today. It is such a surreal feeling to see something you have written and put together actually be in your hands. I ran around my house screaming "I have a book!" to my parents and anyone else that would listen to my mad rantings. I was overcome with joy, excitement, happiness, and oh so many more feelings that I cannot name.

The cover looked much better than I had anticipated and the inside was formatted beautifully. I am impressed with CreateSpace despite the many negative comments I have seen about them. I was very hesitant to publish with them at first because of this. However, now that I've seen my actual book I am more than happy with the quality.

It was a lot of work on my end to format the interior both for the CreateSpace edition and the Kindle edition. The Kindle edition took the most editing and reformatting of all because I was a dodo head and didn't take the time to read the directions.
