it almost seemed like smashwords was off because it was sunday. fucking christians. i don't have time for this stupidity.

it sat there for hours, but you can't even unpublish a book when it's in limbo like that, you're just stuck with it.

it turns out that i think there was some kind of hiccup on the server with converting it to html, because once i unchecked that button, it went through. it still didn't correct the file for the second upload, though.

so, we're starting over again, and, so long as it works, it should be fine.
