This is not a post about writing -- well, not all of it. I'm having a "three" moment. Three things in my life are coming together all at the same time and I want to share my gratitude.
First, -- this is the writing part -- my book, Only Losers Cry, is in the production phase. The editing is complete, the cover has been approved and the publishing company is putting it together. How cool is that! I should receive the first copy sometime in January to make sure there are no errors before final printing. But, then comes the hard part. I have to sell it. Me. I'm a writer, not a salesman. How in the world am I going to sell it? I guess this in one of those "let go and let God" moments.
Secondly, yesterday my beautiful church was dedicated. And, I was a part of that celebration. How lucky am I!!! The date of completion was set for Easter of 2013, but the builders worked overtime and we are in for Christmas. What a gift. Such a wonderful Christmas gift.
Thirdly, I had planned on spending Christmas alone -- my choice. I decided to make new traditions for myself since the loss of my husband. But when I found out my
step-children were staying in town, I'm having them over for a big dinner. I can't wait to put the turkey in the oven and bring my home to life again. How delicious is that!
I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and peaceful 2013.
BTW: Anyone want to buy my book when it comes out?

BLAH, BLAH, BLOG
Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while. There are reasons.
1. Only a couple people read it.
2. Nothing to write.
3. Three rejections and the need to send them out again. I'm not discouraged, it's just that there are so few publishing houses that will take an unsolicited manuscript.
4. I've had to do some revising on my book, ONLY LOSERS CRY. It is in the production stage now. They have sent me the cover for approval. There is one change that needs to be made, I hope it is possible.
Even though I have a lot of ideas bombarding my mind, I can't seem to get a good beginning, or middle, or even an end. Nothing is gelling.
Merry Christmas!!!!
