Almost There! (...really!!)

I know. I know. You've read it here before. But this time it's really true.

I am nearly ready to ACTUALLY put some words together and make a story happen.  I have been working an unbelievable amount of time preparing for this next step. Family and friends have been prodding me to "just get to it" for quite some time now. And I wanted to do just that. But I knew I wasn't ready yet. 

Now I am mere tiny increments away from production. And I am ready for it. I only have to choose my POV (Point of View) - whose voice will be actually telling the story, and then the real fun begins.

If you could see my workspace, you would get a glimpse of how much preparation and research I have put into this book (years and years). The space behind my desk is overflowing with three-ring binders full of story-structure articles, concept-clarifying notes, and plot-development outlines and ideas. My Scrivener app is also chock full of inserted articles and research. I am, as they say, "ready to launch." 

And, though there is no tangible evidence of it, there has been plenty of prayer preceding this project, too. 

If all goes as planned, I will have the first draft written by year's end. (If the Lord is willing and the creek don't rise!!)

​Till then, thanks for accompanying me on this slow journey. I promise I won't disappoint you with something unworthy of all this effort and your treasured loyalty!
