Author's blog

  We're about two weeks away from publishing this project.  I'm more than nervous.  I've been working on this for almost a year and a half.  It's become another child.  I have so many things running around in my mind.

  This is my internal diaglouge:

  Is it ready? Probably never will be, because I want it to be perfect.

  The cliff-hanger ending, is it going to upset my readers?  Possibly.

  Is there anything I'm going to do to fix it?  No, because I like where the story is going and all the stuff in part one needs to be there.  Fixing it would be a major overhaul and the story would be completely different when it's done.  I like THIS story.

  Is it going to do well?  I have no idea.  I hope so.  Honestly, if it doesn't, I'll be disappointed.  However, I am happy with what's happening in the story.  When I read through it the last time, most of the changes were minor:  I needed a space here, I needed to move this phrase to a different spot in the sentence, or whooops, that's spelled wrong.  There were only three areas where I added anything or took anything out.  All of that added up to about a page and a half and all of it was for clarity.

  So, I think we're almost there.

  Now, I need to get the voices in my head to stop the doubting.  The closer I get the louder they yell that I can't do this.

  Ignore the voices.
                Let's do this.
