So, I just wanted to give you a little update on how things are going with my book. I haven’t talked about it in a little while because it was with my editor. It obviously takes a couple of weeks to edit the whole thing and honestly I was getting pretty nervous about it. I assumed that it was taking a while to edit because it sucked and needed a lot of editing. Now, a normal person wouldn’t think that. But you forget, I’m not normal. I’m actually riddled with anxiety at all times. It’s fun… Anyway, a while back I received the edited version and there weren’t too many. Just minor edits. But she commented this on one of my poems and I can’t believe I made her cry!
I was feeling a little insecure about my writing and overthinking everything. I was double guessing myself and this really was so touching. It was the motivated I needed. She also said some really sweet things about the book overall which meant the world to me.
So, yes I can’t believe I made her cry or that my words can touch someone so deeply but I’m so happy they did. As writers all we want is for our writing to make a difference, for it to impact someone. And when that happens it means the world to us.
That’s pretty much my update for now. I’m done with the edits and now the book is off to my proofreader. It really takes a village lol. Writing the book is just the first step towards publishing a book.
