Gone fishing!

No, not really. The mountain streams are still frozen over.
I am on a push to complete the "Fables for Leaders" book in time for an early March release.
The text is done, as is much of the design work. I've begun proofreading and a few other items remain to be done, along with choosing a platform for the e-book and print-on demand-versions.
Did you know each format takes a separate design? The e-book requires a simple one and the latter can be much more like what one can do on paper. From the start I have wanted a beautiful book - in appearance and content - and that is how this book is shaping up.
I may continue with the Friday Fables part of this blog but only if we are making good progress toward the March deadline.
We have a name for the publisher: Labi! Labi! Press. It derives from the Latvian expression one overhears on Riga streets: Good! Good! or OK! OK!
More than a bit of the fable project derives from and makes mention of Latvia so the name feels just right.
And, the mailing address will be Gopher Valley Road; how appropriate for a book of fables.
So, labi!, labi!
