Well it has been a long journey to get to this place, but here I am. My first draft is almost complete. I will be sending it off to be edited SHORTLY. This is a very scary prospect because a few strangers will be reading my words. I always knew, at some point, this had to happen in order to get a great story. Before I publish the book, I know with all my heart this step is very important.
Having read and re-read this manuscript so many times, I believe my objectivity is no longer present. Some parts have been read by friends. I'm sure they have not been entirely objective, as none of them would want to hurt my feelings.
While I wait for the editors comments, etc. I will work on my next Children's Book. Once I get the manuscript back then I will be into working on, I'm sure, the many changes or adjustments required.
I'll be back with an update on both "Josephine" and my new projects sometime in late September.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer, and to the parents anxious for school to begin once more, it will be soon.
