The typset version is so effin sexy!

El libro is typeset!!!!! It looks so fucking good (excuse the language but it's the truth!!!) and I swear my typesetter is the bomb.com. She hooked it up in 4 days :) My covers are going to be done on Monday so I'm very excite about that too.

There was one snag...apparently Tempus Sans ITC is a "system font." Apparently system fonts don't always align with Adobe so my typesetter is gonna work it out. I used this font throughout the book and it was the original font for all of the text on the covers. I was a little blown about it at first but hey, it is not that damn serious. I will find another font and get my book out there.

I talked to my mom this morning and we screamed for a good two minutes. Man it is so critical to have a supportive family and my mom has been there every step of the way. My daddy is hype too and can't wait to start slangin books.

Honestly, I am in awe of everything that has happened with this project this year. I will never, ever, EVER doubt myself again. I claimed this would happen everyday for a year and God worked it out. I am so grateful for my blessings.

I will be in the house all weekend editing and shoutout to Tan, E.L., Jamal, and Vince for signing up to help out with last minute edits!

It's about to happen!!!!!
