Reflecting

So yes I have finished my book. It is written, there is a beginning a middle and an end, and then an appendix. I have done my part, now it is up to my editors to take her and make her rock, and then it will be up to an agent to be interested in it and sell it to a publisher, who will sell it bookstores, who will sell it to, YOU and ALL YOUR NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS, and PEOPLE YOU SEE! The journey just to get to this point has been years in the making, and I figure the journey to get my book from where it sits on my desk (and on a flash drive, and a molly drive, and two computers, you can't say I don't back things up!) to the bookstore could be a few more years, but I pray that the process can begin to speed up.

It is fun to see it finished, to hold the manuscript in my hands, and know that each word on those 158 pages is something I wrote! Each word is mine, and that is so cool! So exciting. I just pray that my editors enjoy it, an agent appreciates it and is willing to take a gamble on me, because all unknown, previously unpublished authors are a gamble. Mostly I pray that the Lord uses this book to help guide people to Him. I want this book to be a blessing to someone, because it has already been a blessing to me. This book is dedicated to HIM, because w/o HIM I would not have been able to write a single paragraph, and I would not have been able to be as honest and vulnerable as I get in some of it (especially the journal sections).

So, please pray with me that I can find the right people to publish my book and get it out to the readers of the world! THANKS!!! The journey continues...
