It's nearly ready!

     It's true. I'm still working, no editing the book. The title has changed a few times but unless the publisher comes up with a better idea it will stick. Not quite ready to reveal it here but I'm thinking pretty soon. The book will be around 100 pages and it's a non-fiction with some fiction added for interest. The genre is Religion/Christian and the subject is gossip.

    The idea is not new but the content is different than what I can find already published. I'm doing it in the Hybrid manner which is self publishing because I put money up front. That's another issue...the money part.  I'm working on it now but I may have to do letters and other methods to raise the funds to get the book published. I believe in it's message and hope I can get it out in the hands of people. It's a message really to all of us humans which is to do no harm to the people that seem to be the subject of our conversation when they aren't part of the group or other person we are talking with.

    I've heard that some authors put segments of their writing in their blog so I might do that. First I need to do some research. It's all new to me. I've been writing all my life but never seriously considered trying to write a real book for publication. My writing has been in personal journals and I've written about my life for my children and grandchildren. I've had other blogs and I intend to see if they are still out there and if so see if I can transfer them to this blog. Not sure if they are still out there somewhere among the stars somewhere and retrievable but I'll find out soon.

    That's it for now. I just wanted to keep posting so I don't forget which I've done in the past. I want to keep this one going. I don't think I've finished setting this one up because it doesn't look like anyone is seeing it. So, gotta check in to all that stuff. But, right now, It's getting late and my pup Milo keeps looking at me like, when are we gonna to bed?

Good night out there, it's really dark out here where no one sees me but it's ok. I'm thinking the best and still in the cottage, nice and comfy. Until next time, hope all is well with you and yours.

PS...I just reviewed my other posts and I see that I have been repetitious here so please just ignore what you already know from what I've said before. I've been editing all day it seems like so I'm just tired. I'll be better about that sort of thing next time. Thanks, you're swell!

Honestly Speaking

 Well hello! I have a favor to ask of you. I know, I don't have any leverage over anyone who stops in on my blog so I'm not trying to pull something here.  Really! Look, I don't claim to be old or anything!!! But, I am aware that I'm not up on all the ways and means of blogging. I haven't read up on the whys and wherefores', etiquette or anything. Honestly speaking, I just got on here, opened/signed up for a blog and here I am. I don't know what is customary and another thing, I'm trying to get my post read by more than 7 people. Well, one time it was 9. So here's my request after all that honesty. I'd love to hear from YOU, If you've gotten this far in this writing this time around. Would you please comment? I would like some encouragement in writing here. And... If you are feeling gracious and have the time and inclination leave a comment on how I might draw readers. I know, I know...I've sorta read how to do that but...I don't get

Boxes, boxes boxes-how to survive a forced move!

  That's the way it was just before the movers came in and took all my stuff away to a pod on the apartment complex property. I had packed and packed and packed some more until everything was in a milk box from the local grocery. Next came the hotel that Milo and I stayed in for a few days until the 16th of February. I had planned for a swimming pool and hot tub, even buying bathing suits but, alas it wasn't to be, so Milo and I took walks on the grounds of the hotel and visited the dog park which wasn't too very far away. And Tuesday late afternoon, finally home again with all new cabinetry and flooring and freshly painted walls. Same ole' address but new insides...and now the fun begins. Just a few boxes left to unpack and then it's all about finding/creating a place to put things. The bulk of my belongings is craft supplies and tools. My bedroom is now my craft room. Leaving a small space for the new twin bed, I've managed to create my new craft space. The ch

So She Says!

 She being me, don't ya know! It's late and I should have stopped writing an hour ago but I'm here instead....writing.  The process of writing a book is way more than I thought but, I'm gonna do it anyway. I'm gonna write until I have nothing more to say and because I didn't find out how to do this before I started, I'm kinda moving backwards in the process. I've decided to finish the manuscript first and then go back and get it in order as far as I know how to. And that will be based on the information I've found on the web. Then, I will look for an agent. If I find one who is will to look at what I have, then I'll go from there. I'm guessing I follow his direction in what I need to do to get my stuff ready for an editor to look at. Then after that I don't know. I'm sticking this out because I believe in what I have to say and I think it is timely. But that's just me. Part of me things it won't make the cut, but the optimisti
