Okay I am starting to freak out. Yup the crazy, lose my mind phase has started. I got approval today from the publisher to start registering my accounts online with them. So happily I got started, only to discover I needed more information. I then switched website and registered for the tax numbers for my new business. Back to the publisher pages, on to the next thing. Back to other websites to register for an ISBN number, the tracking number all books have assigned to them. No problems registering for the account, only to find out the government takes five days to activate the account! They don’t have the process automated yet, so they have to do a lot of it manually! So now I am stymied again waiting on the government to finish their process. Then I have to log back on to apply for the ISBN number. Need this number before I can finish laying out the book; need to lay out the book next Wednesday night, eight days from now. Oh what else can come up that will make me a crazy person! And I haven’t done any work on the book today and I am out tonight at a friend’s farewell party from work. I think I am only stopping for a quick drink and then I am out of there. This is crazy. And I am slower at writing the reflections that I thought I would be. Still worried that everything will come together, so many balls in the air right now. Getting a wee bit stressed, okay a lot stressed. I am doing things so fast I am not even sure if I am doing them correctly. I am sure when it comes to tax time I will have done everything for the business wrong and so it will be a complete mess, I will get audited or something crazy and I will be writing cookbooks from a little concrete cell! Okay take a breath. I moved it ahead all I can; focus back on the book. That is the most important part! Breathe!
