My last post was titled “Turning a Corner.” Apparently, I also stumbled into a dark alley. Don’t worry; I made my way toward the light and emerged at last.
Looking back, here’s what I see happening since I last blogged: Three rejections, two new full manuscript requests, the strep bug and various colds, a 400-page line edit accompanied by seven hours of explanatory tapes, a women’s weekend retreat, two trips to the airport, childcare, physical therapy, one shopping day at the Lincoln City Outlet Malls, my first trip to IKEA, many headaches, filing taxes, moving my son into his remodeled room, one OCW Summer Conference Planning session, about 50 emails/calls wooing editors to attend the conference, three trips to tap class, two kiddos over for friend visits, two trips to the beach–one with dogs and one without, doctor’s visit, two AWANA nights, two Genesis entries, and the regular wifely/motherly duties.
Whew! Now that we’re all on the same page again, anticipate more frequent postings. Or dread them. Whatever. It’s your choice.
Will you pray for me tomorrow? I’m trying to finish up the 400-page line edit. Only 48 pages to go and two, count ’em, two CBA publishing houses are awaiting the full manuscript of Undiscovered. On the Threshold is already out at another house!
Um … actually, to correct you … that was seven 90-minute tapes, so it was actually ten and one half hours of explanation. Just thought you’d want to know.
; )
WOW girl. How do you juggle it all???
Wow, I’m tired just reading this.
