I write, therefore I edit

Ahhh......this is a sigh and also relief. It is time for me to edit my book and tie up any loose ends and make it all pretty like. I took a book that I originally wrote for a picture book and grew it into a Middle Grade Novel. This means I added another 80 pages (so far), because when I begin the edit, I always find where I need to transition and add more to bring the story to life.
This is my Don't Tell, It's A Secret book. It is time to launch it and send it out into the world to live a life of its own. Like a baby bird, it's time to let it fly.
Gotta go and get to editing, so I can let it fly!

Oh, This Journey

Sailing along through life is full of challenges! Calm waters, dead calms, rough seas, wind, rain, sleet, sun, and violent storms all are part of the sea we travel. As much fun as hanging over the side to keep the boat afloat in high winds, I seek calm and peaceful waters. But then again, I guess I would never get anywhere and just float along ever so slowly.
I'm remembering this thought as I adjust my sails and tighten the ropes for a more efficient journey. Hey.....I get sea sick!
