Self-published is still published. Right?

So, I'm published.
Yay, me.
What did I publish, you ask? An RPGless sourcebook called Winter City, The City of Marvels.
I've been working on it, off and on, for about a year. Then, being unemployed and all, I decided to go ahead and publish it.
Granted, it's being published on Lulu.com, but that's still published.
It's been an interesting experience. Lulu is pretty user-friendly, but I had some problems uploading my file. I write in WordPerfect and when I saved the file as a RTF, it shifted my tabs. I got that problem fixed and uploaded it again, only to discover that the RTF transfer had added blank pages that threw off the page numbering on my Table of Contents page. So, got that fixed and went back to having problems with the tabs on the TOC page.
At that point, I pretty much threw my hands up and gave in. It's a 134-page resource book for geeks. I don't think a couple of misaligned tabs on one page is going to detract from the content. If that makes me unprofessional? Well, so be it.
I think people will like the content. The book gives a history of the city, an overview of the neighborhoods, snapshots of local businesses, the city government, major industries, prominent people and ideas for campaigns.
It's copyrighted and has an ISB # and everything!
I've already got a follow-up project in mind. I think I'll start on that tomorrow. At least it'll keep me off the street.
Right?
Right!
Still alive and happily published. - G.
