Time to Write: Finished Writing!
Back
in October, I started posting about ‘Time to Write.’ My research about my
mother’s family had reached a point where I needed to write it up. Months have
passed with many hours devoted to writing, formatting and editing. Several blog
posts have reported on my progress along the way. At last the editing is done.
My daughter and I printed out the final draft, decided we liked the appearance
and saved the book onto a flash drive.
I
contacted Troy Book Makers who published ‘The Mark Family Story’ which I wrote
a few years ago.I have an appointment
to take my flash drive and talk about printing ‘Remembrances.’Going to their offices in the old red brick
building in historic Troy, NY makes me feel like a ‘real’ author. I am looking
forward to the date.
Yes, please show a photo of the finished book. What an accomplishment. Being a blogger, you're already a real author! You've already written more words in your years of blogging than some authors write in a lifetime :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog & for leaving a comment. It is always good to hear from visitors, cousins & fellow bloggers. Note that I do not publish anonymous comments.
How exciting, Colleen, Congratulations. I'm looking forward to seeing a picture of the final product.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dara! I will be sure to post a photo.
