I’m working on a book.that’s due out early next year, and I thought it would be fun to share some of the ups and downs of the process with you along the way.
It really is kind of a long and twisty road to get from the start to the finish of the book-writing experience and I’m learning so much along the way.There have also been quite a few surprises and some pretty good little stories too, so whether you’re thinking of writing a book, or whether you just want the chance to peek in at what it’s like, this is your chance!.One of the first things that I found really surprising about the whole book-writing thing is just how much back-and-forthing goes on before the book-writing can even really begin!
Well, it may be a little different for every author, because of course there are those that write the book first and then “shop” it around to different publishers.In my case, the publisher reached out to me to see if writing a book would be something that I would be interested in, and we started building the concept for the book from there..
When the editor at the publisher first emailed me, of course I was excited and felt pretty honored that she/they had read my blog and felt that my writing style and what I wrote about would be fitting for an actual real, live book.
We scheduled a time to chat on the phone about the book idea a little bit more, and my impression was honestly that she would be kind of trying to sell me on the idea of writing a book for them and letting me know what that would entail and it would just be up to me to either say “yes” or “no”.. Ha!.Chris says he’ll be starting renovations on Kennedy’s room in the Spring, so I’m hoping to get another tree just like this for her room next year.
I’m so thrilled with how cozy it makes Jack’s room feel..I always seem to be forgetting about tree skirts, so I just stole the throw from the living room and used it up here.
Here’s how it looks in here all lit up at night.. You might be thinking it’s a little unfair that Jack gets the beautiful tree while Kennedy has to wait until next year, and you’d be right.I promised her that hers will just have to be even better than his to make up for it!.
