I'm Baaaack!

I have been away fulfilling a personal dream of writing a book. It has been on my mind for years and I just never had the time to sit down and write anything so involved. I kicked it to the back of my proverbial list of things to do.

What I really found out in the process was that I cheated myself by not doing it sooner. I may have forgotten things that could have been added to the story line because I waited too long but I am accepting of that fact and will try to do better in the future.

So the status of the book is this…it is with an editor that is reading every line, every jot and tittle (I never really knew what that meant until I got 19 pages of edits the other night) and she is reading for content and believability. So far, she likes the book very much and most of her editing is punctuation (I thought I was in school for those days that we studied that but obviously not). After edits are done and any additional corrections and rewrites are completed then she will submit to publishers, hopefully, for acceptance and publication.

I hope that will eventually culminate in a book that can be purchased but I will have to wait on that at this time.

I also wrote about my Marine Corps experiences and I will be self publishing this book through Lulu.com. It is a novella and is more of a personal memoir of that time then a dynamic war story, which it wasn’t. I am in the process of getting a proof book for final review and then I will get it published and ready for sale. I will let you know when that happens.

So it has been an interesting few weeks and I look forward to the next few weeks and seeing more of my book edited and closer to submission to publishers.
