I sent sample chapters and synopsis for my manuscript awhile back to a publisher. As I’d said in an earlier blog post, they asked for the full manuscript. My manuscript is too long so I’m cutting words. While I’m deleting words, I’m reading through my book and I hate it. I’m puzzled that they wanted to see the whole thing based upon those sample chapters.<\/p>\n

I used to think the book was good, but, now I don’t think it’s great at all. I feel desensitized<\/a>. I doubt they’ll contract the book, but I’m going to finish revising and send it in. I have to at least try. If they don’t contract it, it’ll be okay…I can always start with a new, fresh idea.<\/p>\n

These are some pics I took yesterday. We took our son to see the ducks and geese and he wanted me to take pictures with my new camera. We fed them popcorn.<\/p>\n
