Ready to Publish!

Sometime two weeks ago I finished my final draft and last week I finished my look over. The only thing I have to do now is to publish, but before I do that I need people to read over it. Then the real challenging work begins: finding a way to publish.

I have heard many countless tales of authors having to go through millions of rejection letters before finally one decided to publish their story. The one thing they always tell rising authors is not to give up, but to keep going, keep plowing your way through because one will eventually accept your work.

There is still a long way to go before we ever see it on the shelf of Barnes and Nobles, but that dream is closer than it ever was before. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Yes, I have to follow Dory's simple, but powerful words of wisdom till I get there.

In the meantime, I have started working on the second book. What!? Yes, the second one. Lot of authors start on the sequel once they are done and have sent the first one in for publishing. So the process moves along quickly. By the time the first is released, the sequels will not take so long to get published after the prequel. Of course I will stop the sequel when I find a publisher and goes through the editing process. But it will recommence once the first is taken care of and on its way to the shelf.

This is all the news for now. Sorry for the delay, I've had a very difficult year in 2015, but 2016 is a new year filled with infinite possibilities with my hope rekindled once again.
