The Morning Latte: Pecan Pie A La Mode and Formatting Tips

Good morning!

I have been writing like crazy and I hope you have been, too. I found a really cool website yesterday that I want to share. It's called DIY Book Formats.

I was excited to find an article on there about how to format your book, because as you all know, I am completely self-published. The article is titled, How to Format Your Book.

I thought the author had some great ideas on formatting, and since I am working on a fantasy novel I thought I'd add some cool things to the book like: drop text on the beginning of my chapters, and replacing *** for a time skip, with something cooler! I also learned that typically the first paragraph in a chapter is not indented.

There is so much to learn when it comes to fiction formatting, but I will get it down. :)

This morning's latte was made by my daughter, so I could keep writing. She is just awesome, and is now searching for colleges (She graduated in June.). Last night she was researching the University of Hawaii. I told her sure, go. I'll take you and visit. Sounds like fun to me, and what a great place to visit as a writer.

Well, I want to encourage you to keep on writing. And, I'm going to leave you with this mornings latte recipe.

Pecan Pie Latte A La Mode

Pecan Pie Coffee
Sweet Cream
(optional replace sweet cream with 1 scoop vanilla ice cream)

My morning cup was just pecan pie coffee and sweet cream, and it is fantastic! But, I have had it with the vanilla ice cream for a special treat.

Just for Fun: 

My daughter just told me that men are supposed to make their wives coffee, because the Bible says so.

I said where?

She looked at me and said, "He brews!"

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!!!!

Write on!
