Almost there...
>> 11.8.12
I can't say "finally" yet... but it's almost there! :)
It was hard to hide my excitement when I passed the book's working file to the printer. And just yesterday before I went back home from work, they gave me the color-proof for me to do the last proof-reading before setting out to print. (Their office is within the same block as my office).
And so I spent almost more than half a day, re-read everything like almost 10 more times, and mark few mistakes that I made. It's kind of frustrating although I know it bounds to happen. But me and my habit; yeah... I blame myself quite a lot for these sort of things.
look at the post-it marks!
It seems I'm done proof-reading for now. I've edited the working files again and wait until Monday to pass them to the printer. But again, maybe tomorrow I will do another proof-reading. XD
On the personal side, today is the first weekend that I can sleep until noon (no work and my book is done). But I still wake up so early! =.=; I guess the anxiety is still haunting me...
And this is the mess that I still have to clean-up...
Another thing is that I have bought a domain name! Yay!
From now on, you can visit me at www.asukasakumo.com
The old address will automatically redirect you to my new address.
I also have a new shop at Zibbet, but am thinking of doing a direct online shop instead. I will let you know again when I have decided on things. I can't do many things at once since my biggest worry is still about publishing the book.
Shall I open a pre-order for the book? Let me know what you think :)

Oh i didn't realise all the posts are already on your new site =) congrats for getting so many things done!
Yups, pre-order would be good. You could also have a e-book for people to download =) but for me, i definitely prefer the hard copy one! Look forward to your book launch!!

I would love a pre-order - I'm overseas but I wouldn't mind paying the intl shipping cost for the book!
A book? You must be so tickled and proud. :)
Hi Christine, yes I am keeping a copy for you. I will update you again soon.
Janet, I can keep a copy for you as well; I don't dare to open up a listing yet as I don't know how much the shipping will be. I've tried using the website's shipping calculator... but I'm hoping that the are wrong (it stated SGD$36 for UK or US!). I will bring the actual book to the post office to calculate the real shipping :)
Hi Dale :)
Haha, right now I am still more worried rather than anything else... But keep your fingers cross for me so that everything can go well! :)
Hi~! I've already bought tickets to the SGTCC, and will be going for the book! :) Congratulations on finishing it!! I hope I make it in time for the first 10!
Would love to buy your book! are you taking reservations or selling it outside of the STGCC?
I'm going to STGCC for the book!I'm looking forward to buying it~~
Jenn
Based off of your work, I really want a copy of your book =) Hopefully the shipping won't be $36, but this can be a gift to myself so I can splurge a bit more than I normally do =D
OMG GOOD LUCK FOR STGCC!!!!!! i didnt know you were participating till i saw your name on the stgcc website hahah ALL THE BEST! :>
