Nothing is quite what you plan

Posted on October 5, 2010 by joanneeddy

Since I first created this, life happened.  My son-in-law had two surgeries, one of which could have been serious.  (But thankfully wasn’t.) I had ‘planned’ to be totally done with the book by the end of August and didn’t complete a draft of the last chapter until the end of September.  I had also thought that I could end at Chapter 12 or 13 and found myself with Chapter 14 being the last chapter.  I still have a lot of editing and more than a little discouragement ahead no doubt. The Last Chapter which I have had in my mind since the beginning still has some rough spots to fix so my work is no where near an end. No doubt no one will read this unless I do all that AND manage to get published.  I guess life is like that, never quite what you plan, with many twists and a few unexpected curve balls.

In Quest of Being Published

Posted on June 8, 2010 by joanneeddy

I described myself as an author, but that is an overly ambitious statement. I should have said I am trying to be one. I have almost completed a book. I have more than 100,000 words written. One last chapter and Postscript to go. Then edit, re-edit and try to invent myself into something some agent/publisher will be interested in. I hope this blog will chronicle my efforts, help me keep the faith and perhaps, just perhaps encourage others!
