National Coming Out Day

I am a lesbian.
Who tried to partner with several men in the past before figuring it out.
Who survived wicked, subtle domestic violence and emotional abuse in a relationship with a woman.
Who has been single for 8+ years now.

I am a survivor of childhood emotional abuse, incest, and ritual abuse. Lately the PTSD symptoms have been much improved, but I'm sure it's still there at some level.

I have invisible disabilities of severe gluten intolerance, sensitivity to chemicals and fragrances, and lack of stereo vision.

And life is generally good!

In my first book proof, the text was too close to the center of the book. I decided to go ahead and fix that, taking a guess on what would look right. I got my second proof today, and the text placement on the page is totally unremarkable. In other words, perfect!

But I didn't notice that InDesign didn't move the images with the text, so they're all off-center. ARGH!! I fixed that, submitted a new file, and will get an electronic proof, which shouldn't take too long. Resubmitting costs another $40, but oh well. Chalk it up to tuition on learning to publish a book.

I am pleased that I'm not beating myself up about needing extra proofs which cost time and money. I am doing something totally new and it's okay to go through the learning curve. Yay!

Almost there, almost there.
