Sunday Evening, 23:06

Sitting here typing these words into the computer I am struck by the need to speak out and be open about where my life may go over the next few months. At the moment moving forward, however time slows when expectations are aroused.

Whatever may come it will happen whatever happens, maybe not how we would like it too, but perhaps when a new day arrives and find yourself awake in bed, just before you get up, you will lie back and come too realise that aspirations or dreams have been achieved.

I hope that day comes to you as much as I hope it comes for me.

Editing complete

After one month of editing I finally managed to forward my manuscript to the publisher. Now feeling extremely nervous, not because I don't think the work is up to scratch, but more because I have an in built fear that they will come back and state that it needs to be done again. Crazy fool that I am!

I love the analogy that a book is like a baby, you months for it (sorry) him/her to come along and then all the hard work starts, marketing is like teaching him to walk, and selling is like graduation, if one person purchases my work I will be thrilled if two buy it I'll party like I have never parted before.

Cannot wait for the next stage in the process.
