Before I write a book, I nest: I clean the house, because I don't plan to do that again (except for spot-cleaning) until the book is born. And I make a bunch of meals and put them in the freezer, because I also don't plan to cook during the book pregnancy. :) And then, I definitely go into "confinement"-sequestering myself away while I agonize over my embryonic ideas until they grow into a fully formed, nicely developed little book baby. Oh that labor--it's intesne!

Better than the first, but I'd love to move on :) I've conceived too many books to not at least give birth once and have it "move out".Cindy R.

As I clicked published, I though, "Am I really publishing this?" but I was too tired to care.<br /><br />So glad you all could enjoy my lack-of-sleep induced humor!<br /><br />I'm in the midst of labor pains. They hurt... definitely... but they are so TOTALLY worth the bundle of joy that'll be put into my hands very soon!!!! Bring it on!<br /><br />(you know, I guess those who want can opt for a csection and self-publish....

Praying lots. :)<br /><br />For the one behind me (if there are any), my encouragement would be to write that first draft fast, just let the story flow onto paper, and do the fixes in the revision process.<br /><br />Off and running. Hoping to come back and visit later. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-56946121989025972942012-08-02T07:01:53.618-07:002012-08-02T07:01:53.618-07:00So, so fun!
