So welcome back. This is the end of the first day, video number four of working on my new book. So the first three videos I showed you about the transcriptions and downloading them and making my book. And I already showed you in the earlier video how I put it together. So I made three copies of these earlier today and I sent two other copies home with friends of mine to do a proofread. So since the last video, my transcription has sent me two more transcriptions. So I have six chapters, each transcription is one chapter. I have six chapters now of 20 chapters in the front of this book or from this book. And I came home tonight, went out for the evening with my daughter, went to haunted house, had some fun. And now after she went to bed, I came home and did my first reading. So basically I just go through page by page now, seeing it in a book form versus a electronic format. I just go through, see how it reads, mark the corrections, things I want to change, what do I like, what do I don't like, and just leaf through it chapter to chapter. So then tomorrow I'll get back with the other two proofreaders, I'll go through with each one, we'll go through them together and I'll see if we both caught the same thing that needs changed or they may see something that I didn't see. Same thing with both of them. There's three different people, all of us with a different viewpoint to look at different things, look at wording, check grammar, check punctuation and all that fun stuff. So that's it. This is the hardest part, A little bit of the behind the scenes doing the books are fun, it's a blast. And when it's done, it's the most incredible thing. It's the most incredible feeling. So this is the hardest part, the proofreading and editing. It is a little time consuming, but it's worth it in the end considering we're going to take this and turn it into a Kindle book and a paperback. So tune in to video number five as we continue on with the book making process.
