Contents done, Cover done, what else can there be?

The writing is done and edited. The cover is near done (missing a bar code). I have only to format the extremely important flow chart so it not only fits on the page but is readable in eBook and paper versions; finalize the look of the opening page of the chapters, get the website (this blog) going, and a few hundred other things.

The extremely important flow chart is actually important. The book was written the way a person might train to become a boxer: learn the basics of offense and defense before hopping into the ring with opponents. BUT... that is rather overwhelming (and not nearly as fun) as reading about the person at work who is driving you crazy. The flow chart helps you figure out who you have and jump right to the description. You can always go back and learn about offense and defense later.

The flow chart will appear as a graphic (not text), so it will not resize in eBook format. Because of it's girth (it really takes up a full 8.5 x 11" page), that graphic would be pretty darn small on screen. So, I need to break it up. Actually it barely fits on the printed page either. I think I'll publish the original layout in the blog later as a handy reference tool.
