Update…

Billie Jean - David Cook

For those of you who keep tabs on my book progress, I’ve rewritten and embellished and crammed more action into the first four chapters.  Bwahahahaa.

This is turning out better than I ever thought it would.  Bless Teresa’a heart….she reads every rewrite I do and never complains.  Gotta love her.  I told her when I get the book published we would fly to Hawaii and celebrate!  Then she informed me it would have to be before March or we’d ALL have to fly there since her DH is getting transferred (military).  That’s okay, though.  If I get published, I don’t care where she is…we’ll party!

I finished my workout and walk this morning.  Sometimes I feel lazy and don’t want to do them, and I *have* slacked off the past three weeks.  Now I have to knuckle-down and just do it unless I want to regress.  NOT!

On my walk this morning, I began to pay attention to the little strip of trees that line the road.  The vines, palmettos, weeds, and underbrush that fill in the spaces between the trees look like a storybook fairy land.  The sunlight filtered through the leaves dappling the damp earth below, but mostly it was shadowy, damp, and cool looking.  I could just imagine sprites, elves, and dryads playing among the leaves, hiding every time a human passes. 

I’ll have to file that thought away for a future book.  Hmmm.

Later.  Oh, yeah, for my song of the day click on the link above.

Editing Book…..

Sorry I haven’t posted more of my book, but my muse, Teresa, has given me new insight in the storyline.  Therefore, I’ve been doing a rewrite, adding more detail and more plot twists.   So as Teresa sits in Hawaii soaking up the sun every day, I’m sitting in Texas soaking up the AC as I work on my new and improved book.  So far a lot of people have expressed interest in the story…….which is very encouraging.   Thanks.

I’m writing as fast as I can!
