Time to Work on a Book

I haven't worked on anything since last Friday, I think. I have the notifications finished now, and time to get going on that. I haven't decided which one I'll work on, but I will work. I wish my publisher would let me know how things are with Thread of Evidence. I should hear soon as it's supposed to be out in the fall. I've never had a publisher before, so I don't know what is standard for this process. I also need to get something to eat. I'm thinking of tuna-stuffed tomatoes. I haven't had that in a long time and I have plenty of both. It also won't take long to make. How are things going with you? Thanks for reading. My picture.

Today has been pretty boring aside from the gym this morning.

I hope you hear from your publisher soon. I can understand wanting to know what step to take next. We're having homemade tacos tonight. My day has been good.

@just4him You're welcome. I'm guessing they want to make sure everything is cool before contacting you, but hopefully they do reach out soon. Thank you!

I'm not sure when it started here but was surprised when I heard the wind whipping the tree outside my window and saw it really being knocked about by the wind.

Yes, it is. I don't know how long standard is, so I'm doing my best to be patient. Of course, it's not working well.

Thank you. Maybe you will. It's a lot of hard work. It's not for the faint of heart. Thank you. It is an interesting statue at the Botanical Gardens.

That sounds both exciting and frustrating. I have only ever self-published or published online. I'm working on a book but it's taking much longer than planned. I have been getting some offers of writing work. Apart from that, I've been spending time calling or visiting family, I've been to archery, and I've arranged to see a friend soon. Not much else.

@just4him Yes, I suppose I am a busy person. I don't always see it that way when it's enjoyable.

My only published books were self-published too. I'm sorry it's taking longer than you planned. That's great you're getting writing offers. You're a busy person.

I did, about three weeks ago. She said she was editing it, that's scary after what I just went through with it, and waiting for the cover reveal. I really hope I don't have a lot to do with it yet.

@crazyhorseladycx I've been through the first edit. Then I heard there's a content edit and looked it up and that's what's scaring me, it's harsher than the regular edit.

I like the Mobius sculpture. I'm going to go to a guitar store with a friend. They have an excellent repair guy who specializes in "cosmetics." We're both getting some of our favorite guitars looked at for minor stuff. Later, I have band practice with the "iffy" guy and his rock band. We'll see how much of the promised $150 plus $18 in tips I made last weekend actually wind up in my pocket.

It is especially hard waiting for a response when it comes to writing. Hopefully you will hear soon. Your lunch sounds so good I think I will make the same thing for me. Whatever you choose to write I am sure it will be the right choice.

@HazySue More Than a Conqueror is a mystery though it started out as a romance. Destination Love is not a romance. It's a story of a young woman who was abused by her mother her whole life, didn't know who Jesus was or God because her mother refused to allow her mother to tell her anything about Him. So, it's a story of a young woman's journey to the cross - Destination Love.

It was very good. I haven't had stuffed tomatoes in a long time. I still have enough tuna salad for a couple more tomatoes today. I worked on More Than a Conqueror. Someday I will change that title, but for now, that's what it is. And I worked on Destination Love for a bit but not long.

@just4him Sounds like a plan. It sounds like one might be a love based story. What type is the other?

@just4him The only book I ever wrote I published myself. I have no idea what a publisher does. Did your publisher say anything how long you need to wait for him or her to let you know?
