BACK TO THE STUFF THAT GETS IN THE WAY OF WRITING...

AFTER A TOO-SHORT CHRISTMAS BREAK, IT'S BACK TO THE DAY JOB. I GOT A GOOD DEAL OF WRITING DONE OVER BREAK. I'M REALLY ALMOST THERE. WORKING ON THE EPILOGUE AND THINKING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT I WANT TO GO WITH A PROLOGUE. HMMM... DECISIONS, DECISIONS.

I ALSO GOT TWO GREAT RESOURCE BOOKS FROM MY HUBBIE TO HELP ME WITH THE NEXT STEP. OF COURSE I GOT THE GUIDE TO LITERARY AGENTS AND WILL START THE EXHAUSTING ADVENTURE OF SEARCHING FOR AN AGENT. HE ALSO GOT ME THE IDIOTS GUIDE TO GETTING PUBLISHED... GEE, THANKS!

FOR REAL, THOUGH, THE BOOK WAS INSIGHTFUL. I LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE PUBLISHING PROCESS, AT ONE POINT THOUGHT "WHAT IN THE HELL AM I THINKING?", THEN HUNG THE BOOK UP WITH THE RENEWED DRIVE TO PLOW THROUGH THIS.

WHY?

BECAUSE I LOVE TO WRITE!
BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY NAME ON THE FRONT OF A BOOK SOME DAY
BECAUSE I WANT TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE AT BARNES AND NOBLES AND SEE MY NAME ON MY BOOK

BECAUSE I'LL REGRET IT IF I DON'T

SO LET'S DO THIS!
