April 12, 2009 - An Anniversary!

It has been one year since I first wrote the words, "Let me begin by saying I didn't know I was dying..." in Crossing Twice.  So, much can happen in a year, it's a robust one for sure.  Things are just now beginning to move with passion.

I've been so tempted to dive in and begin snipping Overcome! to little chapters and selections, but I talk to Ivory tomorrow.  Ivory is Ivory Madison who has been an inspiration and coach.  The strangest thing is it's been one year since I first talked to a "book developer" about writing Crossing Twice and Spirit Thinking.  That was with Sarah White, who happened to drop me an email.  I sent her to the new Overcome! page and I think it must have scared her!

The press release headed "Progressive Christian Author Shows GLBT Cocaine Addiction, Incest and Recovery" is making the rounds and I was pleased to see it make it Echelon Magazine and I hope Dallas Voice will pick up the story as well.  It may be early to be shooting to the media, but I'm planning on editing and flushing out the final mss as voraciously as I wrote the book.  From January 2 through March 24, I averaged 2000 words per day.  Another interesting anniversary by happenstance is the March 24th date.  It was the date I first earned money for my writing (a Suite 101 article) AND my mom's birthday.  That makes March 24 a pretty special day - mom's birthday, first dollar from writing and the completion of Overcome!
There are more things to work on this morning so I'll close.  Drop a line if you gave a read!  This is my mom, my "life assistant and friend" along with Roxie, my other "life assistant and official food taster".

Blessings today!
