[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 285364, member: 179"] ...scan anymore!!! My next deadline is Aug. 1 for one of my books. I have scanned and scanned and scanned. These are OLD documents that need a bit of doctoring up as well. I'm down to probably 100 or so. I just need to knock them out. Blah. I have one that is a 3 piecer...I have to blend the 3. Argh. I've spent the last 2 days trying to get it right. The plan is (haha...don't know how this is going to happen) to meet in early August in Vegas with the publisher, Bill and his nephew to make the next step, which is the blending of the photos with the story. Now, if we can get all involved in the same place at the same time...it will be a miracle. Bill will be 90 in August. His step is to read what I've written...correct misspelled places over the world that don't even exist anymore. Nephew will take the unnamed photos and put them in the correct spot. Oh, my. I'll only have a few days there so IT HAS TO HAPPEN. The corrected copy will then be sent to me by snail mail because Bill won't deal with computers, then I make corrections...send them back to publisher/nephew and hopefully it's a done deal. THEN I get paid the remainder of my fee. What a project. Then, I get to go back to the 'real' book that I've put off while working on this project. Good Lord if I actually got a job during this. Back to scanning. Abbey [/QUOTE]
