How can it be that I've entered nothing here for all these years? Time. Time has passed. It has taken me awhile to be able to find this blog again and to have the courage to begin again. It isn't that I haven't been writing. I am forever jotting down my thoughts, my ideas, the issues that are on my mind -- just not here. In fact, since my last entry, I've written a book -- or I should say, a manuscript. It hasn't been published.
I did try to have my book published, but I didn't try very hard. I finished it in 2017, sent it on to the publishers I thought most relevant to my topic, and although each and every press said it was well written, it wasn't what they were looking for at the time. As I look back on it, I already see changes I'd like to make.
A had written a poem, and broken up the verses so that a part would appear at the beginning of each section of the book. But I don't like it broken up like that, and I would remove the parts and perhaps just include the poem on a page at the end.
I think I would also change the beginning, the introduction, the statement of why I wrote that book. I need to be more direct, and I need to use words that are current and relevant to catch the eye of the reader immediately, so that he or she will know that the book is meant for them.
Perhaps I will write some items that will catch you up with me since I last posted. I'm just thrilled that I've found this blog again, that it still exists, and that it's here for me to continue.
