The long journey into literary bliss is complete. The labor pains are over. Ten rewrites, sixteen edits, and twenty-six months later the delivery has happened. As any proud parent who wants to see their creation succeed, an author is no different. Now begins the process of the birth announcements, the photos and a future filled with promise. The long awaited anticipation has arrived. To view my new prized bundle visit:
“The publisher wants just a few changes”! “What now”? I asked, totally ready to drop kick this woman into another planet! “Well, they um really would like to see it go in um a totally different direction”, she announced casually. Ahhhhhhhh, this was really the final straw.
Two and half years, 8 rewrites, and at least a dozen edits later, I finally made the decision to just do this myself. Sometime depending on someone else can be more frustrating than helpful. I know rejection is part of business, but this takes the cake. Not really rejection, not really acceptance…not really anything concrete. It was maddening! I felt as though I was just being strung along and one cannot live in limbo for long without being medicated. But persistence has paid off….more good news to come next week!
“Adventures of a Gala Guru, Saving the Planet One Party at a Time”
Today we celebrate the Vernal Equinox, also known as the first day of spring! The vernal equinox is one of two days during the year when day and night are of equal length. The vernal equinox is when the sun crosses the equator northward and marks the beginning of spring
Here at Gala Guru World Headquarters we plan to celebrate the equinox by the wearing of spring clothing (even though it is only 30 degrees out, but you gotta be in the spirit of things!) as well as decorating the Equinox tree and the singing of traditional Equinox carols. We hope all your Equinox wishes come true.
