As you cross the finish line you throw your arms up (hopefully they are the only things you throw up) and smile. What a magnificent feeling of accomplishment! To have completed such personal documentation of these chapters of your life was a tremendous achievment! Now the rest of the race is to get it into the hands of the public. Once the book is printed, you will be the captain of the team of people who will help promote this wonderful piece you have created. I have been sooooo proud of you everystep of the way! See you at the finish line!

And I admire you for learning everything you can because next time around it is going to be so much easier and you can fully control the process.<br /><br />This is about your life and your journey and its special and you are nearly there. Woo Hoo! Don't forget to think about your Launch!!! Can you share it with your blog buddies. <br /><br />This is the hard bit just before its finished. I cant wait to promote it - listen someplace you must promote it is www.lovefraud.com - they get thousands of readers and promote books. <br /><br />And I am so glad you have a fantastic boyfriend and so much support from your family.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-42167655459848948252009-08-01T08:53:11.345-07:002009-08-01T08:53:11.345-07:00It really sounds like you could start a second blo...It really sounds like you could start a second blog onhow to publish a book!

It's more of a rush, a personal challenge to see if I can really do it. <br />The only expectation I have is to sell enough to make my investment back--and I know I can do that no problem. Anything beyond is gravy. That said, I certainly hope those who read it will think it's well written and, at times, very funny. And I would love to somehow have a positive impact on people's lives.<br /><br />You might think I'd be the decisive type because I'm so mouthy, but no! I'm a Libra through and through--I have to weigh everything a million friggin' times before I finally make a decision, and even then I second guess myself. I can't even decide between paper and plastic!Vegas Linda Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653067016683159930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-62732011278310185642009-07-30T14:58:36.367-07:002009-07-30T14:58:36.367-07:00I'm suprised Linda, I thought you might be qui...I'm suprised Linda, I thought you might be quite the decisive type but I guess you just want your book out there don't you? I'd say to just go with what feels right, it'll come but Rome wasn't built in a day, and if publishing books was that easy, we'd all do it. <br /><br />I really hope you're book fufills your dreams as you deserve it to!Caz Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283262095667148117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-80761409739986555822009-07-30T11:39:36.238-07:002009-07-30T11:39:36.238-07:00I can actually feel the stress in your post - I gu...I can actually feel the stress in your post - I guess it is a testament to your writing ability that you completely overwhelmed me in the few minutes it took to read that.<br />I am hoping you are at the peak of the stress and it will start to seem less stressful as the light at the end of the tunnel gets brighter.
