Checking Hives for Honey

It’s been about two weeks since I put the Honey Supers on my hives. I opened up the hives to check and there is no honey, yet. I do have honeydew, which is watery honey nectar that may make it to honey eventually. The honeydew means that the bees are working and that if they buzz their wings over it and reduce the moisture content I will have honey.
While checking the bees, I noticed some bees going in and out of a box that I had set aside. I thought that the hive had died. I popped the top, and it was full of bees. I have a free hive. I will have to put a honey super on it to see if it makes me any money.

Error Message Eyes - Release?

I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to publish Error Message Eyes Release 2.0.

I am not able to concentrate well enough to be sure things are right. Amazon is reviewing things now. They don’t review much other than to make sure that I am not doing anything illegal.

I find that the act of correction causes new errors, sometimes many new errors. Several times, I pressed CTRL-F in order to find something, but I missed the CTRL key and wound up inserting an F and a search string into the text. I hope that I caught all of these.

With luck I can make an announcement tomorrow. I wanted to do it today, but many things got in the way that were far more important.

Wish me luck.

Error Message Eyes - getting there.

I can’t believe the number of errors that Shaun has found. One or two (out of hundreds) I’ve either not changed, or else changed in a way different from his suggestions. Technically, I could launch tomorrow. I want to launch on a Thursday to take advantage of the weekday and weekend potential readers, but I will need a day to apply the corrections and order the proof copy. It looks like the book will launch on the 16th.
I started trying to edit the stories myself, starting at the end and working my way back. Now I am nervous because it has become obvious that most of my mistakes are made in the revision process. I will now go through and check again (introducing even more errors.)
