Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for all the friends who supported me through the writing process of my first book.  Today seems sort of monumental for me because I finished the last chapter of a second book just as I received an email from my editor with the chapter 1 edits of Falling for Mr. Darcy (the first book).  I have to admit, I feel a bit overwhelmed looking at the edits.  Of course, I do not have to accept changes to it that I do not want but still I think I much prefer the dreamworld state of writing rather than the reality driven world of editing. 

From here though, it should go quickly. As soon as I can finish editing the chapters, I send them back to her and she looks through them again.  She said she would be sending me a chapter a day until we finish the book.  I have a lot of work a head of me.  The high of getting something published has washed away as I face the daunting task of getting it ready for publication.  I am sure when we actually get it close to release I will once again feel excited.  I kind of wish I could just blink and see my name on amazon. 

Oh well, here I go.
