My question is about determining the beginning of a project, for timing purposes.
I will be self-publishing a short book soon. The major steps coming up are submitting it to the printer for the any final formatting revisions, finishing and publishing the sales page, and then actually beginning to sell the books once the previous two steps are complete.
I intend to have the first one done this week. But between Mercury being in retrograde and the eclipse, April is looking like a really bad month to start anything, especially writing- or business-related.
So is sending the book to be printed the beginning, or when I open up sales? If it weren't for the astrological concerns, I would probably be aiming for mid-April to be ready to sell. May 1 is the first Wednesday after Mercury goes direct again. That's a little later than I'd like, but if there's likely to be difficulties in April I can make it work.
