Is that a cover that you designed! Cool! I didn't know you were going to go that extra step and go for publishing. How cool!

SUSAN said...

Carol-My daughter, Ana, designed the cover after I finished the NaNoWriMo contest. I'm taking the next step, which is editing and getting the rough edges smoothed a bit. Then I'll see about the next step but yes, my dream would be to have the novel published. :-)

Amp-THANKS!

I love your cup, and I can almost read part of the page if I try really hard, but my burning question is if your workspace is really this neat!!

Exciting project!

cool!! That claddagh is my wedding ring :-). Keep us posted on your progress!

SUSAN said...

Tia-WOW...the Claddagh ring figures prominently in my novel.
Very cool that it is your wedding ring.

Laura....I shot the photo before I started working. ;-)

Love the bits of color all around. I noticed the cover too - very nice. Good way to commemorate writing your novel and also taking it to the next step. Good luck in your editing!

Good for you! I need to set aside time to do it, too. This is a nice way to mark the beginning of the next step of the process.

I am SO impressed that you've come this far, Susan, and are forging ahead. I signed up for the NaNoWriMo project and promptly realized that: 1) This is not the season for me, and 2) I honestly don't have anything I want to write about at that length right now. But growing up, I always thought I'd publish my writing, so maybe some day.

Did you know my mother wrote a huge book when I was a teenager? It was related to her family's history. After her very first pink slip, she BURNED the entire manuscript. How sad is that? : (

I sure hope I can read your book sooner or later. You go, girl!

Paula said...

Awesome, Susan. That's such a huge task, but I know you are up for it!

You go girlfriend! I'm off to place an advance order...you really have to do an audio book of it too because my momma wants a copy! :) I'm SO EXCITED! :)
