Resubmits

I have decided to submit "Eyes of the Washington Monument" to a few more publishers. I would like to have it edited by someone. This is a children's picture book, so I would prefer someone with experience in that area. Any takers?Any takers? Please???

The ups and downs of getting published

A couple of days ago I was on cloud 9 because my book was to be published. Today, I have fallen to cloud ‘6’, but not yet tumbled to cloud ‘2’ or plummeted back to earth. Just so many decisions to make, and I have decided that if I pay anyone to publish my book – I will self-publish. I still have so much to learn. I really have come in contact with really informative folks and friendly too. Everyone is so eager to help and encourage. Thanks for that. After teaching a full day of rowdy 8th graders, one who thinks Paris is a state, and tutoring reading for an hour after school (which I love), I am wiped out when finally getting home to re-think things. I just keep saying…Ican, I will, I want to! I stay up until about 1 a.m. either writing or trying to promote my Kickstarter project, which is moving rather slowly; but I still seem to revive myself for the next day and go forward. I do look forward to evenings when all is silent, and I can read, write, think, laugh, and explore.
