The Waiting Sucks

It is monday morning, one month after I sent over $4,000 to LuLu to help me get my book ready to publish. I was sent an another email that iPads will go out this week and the editor is still working on my book. It takes so damn long to write the book, then a lifetime to edit the book, and then another agonizing lifetime to get it in shape for other humans to read it. Why, oh why, does anyone actually get through all of this? I can only imagine how long it took before computers. I feel entirely inadequate compared to anyone who published anything before 1975. Remember this next time you are mad about paying anything less than $40 for the next novel you read, please. I know I will.
