Ever since, as an impressionable preteen, I watched Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone, sitting in her apartment and then delivering her manuscript to her publisher, I've craved a padded envelope full of pages secured with an elastic band and on Wednesday I got one! My daydreams never featured the film storyline. I was far more in love with the role of the author and the process of seeing my ideas become words and in turn, those words become books and now I am living my dream!
Proofreading The Cherry Tree Cafe was an absolute joy. There were few corrections and I was enthralled to see my work set out as actual, proper pages. I was also, and please don't take this as arrogance, thrilled with the story. It has been quite a while since I read it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, I found it hard to believe that I had written it and although I was delighted to be so pleased, it did leave me wondering, can I do it all again? Yes folks, Second book syndrome has struck but I'm determined to beat it and am looking forward to immersing myself in a brand new story.
Wishing you all a wonderful week.
