I’ve been working on revising my manuscript since late March of this year. I have twelve chapters left. I’ve given myself a goal of revising those twelve chapters by the end of the month. I do believe I can do this. The last chapter involves quite a bit of re-writing as my critique group didn’t like my original ending. Writing a book in your spare time takes quite a while. I hope my hard work is rewarded later with a publishing contract.
I do have an idea to boost my social media presence. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to implement it until after I attend the Ozark Creative Writer’s Conference in Eureka Springs, Arkansas in early October. I submitted part of the back story of one of my characters for one of their contests. Their rules state that all submissions cannot be published at the time of the conference. After the conference, I’ll share the back story with you. Thank you for your patience.
There’s probably a lot more to say, but I’m drawing a blank. It’s been a long week. I’ll sign off here and go root for team USA in the Olympics. I may get inspired. After all, history doesn’t write itself.

What I’m Reading – Many readers I know like to inquire what their favorite author is reading. At the end of each blog post, I’ll let you know what I’m reading. I may not be a published author yet, but I hope my choice of reading material inspires you to read. Karol Wojtyla’s Love and Responsibility arrived on Wednesday of this week. I’ll be reading this book for several weeks. The subject material is dense and takes a while to understand what the future pope is saying. I encourage you to read a variety of topics.
