My proof copies are always pretty early drafts though, it seems. Funny to think that when I ordered my SUNDOWN proof, I thought I was pretty much done. Pffft... I've since cut 40k off that one.<br /><br />@Nas - the image of the face is mine, yeah - just kind of stuck it in the template. And changed the colour scheme. Otherwise, I must credit CreateSpace!<br /><br />@Lynda - thank you!

I mean do you feel like it's set in stone and now you don't want to change it? Just wondering... <br /><br />btw: if you have a hard time with interviews, maybe you should try having someone coach you. You don't want your nervousness or whatever it is keep potential bosses from finding out how great you would be for the position!!!Danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043881305977386629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-53497234892403769902011-07-31T07:32:42.913+08:002011-07-31T07:32:42.913+08:00Oooh, I love it!
