Another Frustration

Another frustration... I now have almost all the money needed to pay for my book cover which is great then I was looking over CreateSpace and know I need a interior done as well. I guess I always seemed you send the pdf file and it sorts it for you but this isn't the case you either do it yourself or you pay someone to do it. I really can't afford to pay someone since doing the graphic designer for the cover and all.

So I have been told I can do the interior on Word which is great but I don't have it on my computer and when I went to go see where I could get it I found that its a paid program that cost almost $200 can't afford that either. Same goes for Adobe InDesign which was the other program I was told about and if I remember right its almost $500. Now I'm left back at the beginning again and not sure what I'm going to do and don't know where to start.

It is funny because I always knew I was a writer just waited for a good time in my life to write a book. But I never knew how much went into self publishing this is so hard and sites talk in such riddles. I never did finish school so I feel stupid asking for help but not sure what to do at this point. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

A Little Bit Frustrated!

I think I have hit the most frustrated goal into getting my book published so far. This is finding someone to do my book cover. Although right now it will be just a front cover mainly because I'm only going for the ebook cover but if done right when its time to actually publish a printed book I want to go with the same artist or graphic artist. I have several people I'm talking to waiting for rough drafts and just one of the pictures of a rough draft I got back tonight was a joke and not only were they way out of price range but horrible. I try not too be too demanding but I want it to look good too enough where someone would actually pick up my book and buy it not that they would look at it and laugh. So far this has been the biggest struggle because my mom is proof reading the book for me she is really good in English thankfully. I wrote the book and soon as she is done I will make all adjustments and I have 2 weeks to do that to get it copyrighted. Then the only hold back is the cover still and I was hoping I had someone in mind for the graphics even if it took me the month of August to get the money together then although maybe it wouldn't be out in early September but maybe at latest late September early October. At this point just plain frustrated hope my search gets better. If you do book covers please drop me a line cause I'm still looking for the right thing.
