Okay, got confirmation of how to register my press (but there's some separate thing about a company) from my Malaysian publisher (for my short fiction).

Sounds pretty straightforward. Onwards, then! #makingbook #debutauthor

I went from being tired owing to my day at the hospital to free-falling into #makingbook #debutauthor flail-and-panic activity. And forgot to eat. It is now nearly 11pm.

Behind-the-scenes #makingbook nightmares include:

(1) Finding numerous cringeworthy errors despite hours, days, weeks, months of copious copy-editing.
(2) Making epubs for critique partners and blurb givers only to find some had never received them because I'd been plonked into the spam folder by gmail. Most already resolved by using cloud services but argh!

Next, I really need to settle the ISBN issue and find out the legalities re indie pubbing as a Malaysian.
