Without assistance it is a slow progress for the book. I am editing the women one by one using the edits of my friends. Then I send them off three at a time to my final personal editor.
I am e-mailing and snailmailing the stories of the living women to them for permission to publish and also for their editing if they want. Then I will compile all the stories in the book.
Then the work begins because I can already see the word count will be too high. I may just send it off to my editor for him to make the cuts. The longer version will be posted on the website I have been told.
I have finally received my royalty advance and I have been asked to supply art for the book cover so this is going to happen!
I have taking some similar books out of the library and purchased one to see what format for the book should be. I am learning a lot about book publishing and editing on the fly. My next book, if any will be better.
I am looking forward to a vacation for a while after this and then launch into the next project.
In order to releive my stress, I will go back to having a massage and I go to Yoga practice at the Y every Friday. It is a Yoga class at 6:15 Am on Friday, but noone shows up but me. So I have free private lesson. The instructor does not mind. Sometimes she needs it as well.
That's all for now.

Good for you Jeannette! I have ideas of my own that I do want to focus on at some point.
