Haven't written for almost 2 months now, but i doubt anyone has noticed or missed my lonely presence on the WWW. :-)
Nevertheless, if you've accidentally stumbled on to this site, just to let you know, I'm very close to being published. Published in the sense the book has been edited to its final version, its cover designed, ISBN number allotted and typesetting done. Today I learned that it has gone to press!! To press... to press!!!
I'm nervous and excited. I'll know what it feels like in my hands in a matter of 2 weeks. Suddenly I'm a little nervous about letting my private thoughts out into the big bad world. What if people don't like it? Are the sentences well framed, the spellings all correct? I'm afraid. I'm actually afraid and a hollow feeling inside my stomach reminds me of the first time I watched my daughter climb into a swimming pool. There was an able instructor and a vigilant lifeguard. But that was little consolation. My wife says my grip on the spectator railing was so tight she was afraid I'd break it!
Needless to say, everything was fine and my daughter is a fine swimmer now, even more confident than me when gliding though deep water. I just hope my new baby learns to float fast! Wish me luck!!!
