The Next Steps...

Today I received my manuscript for the new book back from one of my three BETA readers. I have started going over it to review the changes/revisions/corrections that have been suggested. This is very exciting!

I still have two more readers that have not checked in yet. It will be quite interesting to see how much in common the feedback will be between them. I believe I made good choices when selecting my readers and they are all people who will definitely have a handle on doing this type of thing.

This weekend, I will be putting together a simple spreadsheet to be used as a tracking tool for detailing the similarity in the reviews. When I have entered all of the data from each reader, I can use a formula to assist in the final edits in preparation for the copy editor.

Yes this is a lot of work! But it is a labor of love, for one day soon I will see my masterpiece in print and for sale!

Stay tuned for the next update.

And the Beat Goes On...

Well, I am so excited! My manuscript has been placed in the capable hands of three new BETA readers, and I can't wait to hear back from them! No matter what the results turn out to be, I know that the book will be better off for having had them read it. And what's more; I'm anxious to see what common ground will be discovered in their comments and feedback.

In the meantime, I'm setting a goal for myself to finish Chapters Fourteen and Fifteen while I am on spring break from work. I've decided on two personal days for myself for pampering, relaxation and fun...three days to spring clean the house and the last three to write. It's all about balance!

Of course I will still be posting on The Real Grandmothers' of Charlotte blog simultaneously. I certainly plan on being a busy little bee! I just know that wonderful things are going to come about from this book. I am thinking and speaking absolutely positive thoughts and nothing else. I claim success, prosperity and  abundance over this book and the efforts that are going into its completion.

I have asked God to bless my hands, my imagination and my intellect as I put my best effort into my work.

Pretty soon I'll be announcing the launch, so stay tuned; don't miss a minute!

Best,

The Next Hottest Thing...

In addition to working steadily on the new book, and keeping The Real Grandmothers Blog exciting and fresh, I am in the developmental stages of a new in-print magazine! I am considering taking the stories from True Confessions online magazine and editing them for hard copy print.

There are several important factors to consider. First of all, there is the content of the stories from the True Confessions blog. There is nothing vulgar or profane there, but the stories are provocative and definitely will lead the imagination to hot conclusions. So, the first issue to work through is how I will feel about having this magazine with my name on it in print. Most likely, more folks will read it in print than have online. According to the site stats, True Confessions is pretty doggone popular and I am very happy about that.

Next, there is the marketing to consider. "Where' and "How" are the two hot topics for that! I am just eager to get my writing out there to the public, because I really love to write. I absolutely love using my imagination and creativity to spin a story and to engage the reader's mind and imagination. So right now I am considering all of my options to get that done.

Anyway, right here is the place to follow my progress and to sneak a peek at my R&D stuff, because this is my "HUB" where I reach out to my readers and share all of my ideas.

Thank you for being a fan of The Bookmark Hub.

My Best to You,
