If I Didn't Laugh - the BOOK!

I have two exciting bits of news to report. My book project is on schedule, and I have been approached regarding a "Where is She Now" article in the newsletter of an organization I am part of. I have to say that the rough draft the article that my friend wrote sounded much better than "Two exits from the mental hospital and hanging on by a thread!" I'm not sure that's really what people want to read about...or maybe it is. Hopefully it is! You will all be getting an in depth look at the twisted way my mind works when my book is finished!
I am excited to report that the reason my "daily" posts haven't been so daily is because I'm working hard on putting a project to bed...If I didn't laugh, I'd Cry - the BOOK! Writing has been a lifelong passion of mine, and completing a book has been a goal for a very long time. I am pleased to say that my manuscript is nearly complete (I think I could find things to change forever if I kept at it.) The cover photo shoot is done, now I am just waiting for the photographer to finish editing the images. The publishing company assures me that once EVERYTHING is in place and submitted, it will take approximately twelve weeks for me to be holding a copy of my first book. Thank you very much to everyone who has inquired about this project, and especially those of you who pushed me to actually do it!
I am thrilled that my girls will have a written record of their childhood from their mom's perspective, something I surely don't have. My other hope for this project is that other moms will be able to identify with me and my glorious mess. If I can give them a giggle along the way, then so much the better.
Motherhood is definitely not what I thought it would be. It's better! And worse. And well, a lot of times it's somewhere between the two. It's harder, and more wonderful. It's frustrating, and so, so rewarding. Hopefully I can convey to my readers that this whole experience has been kind of a mixed bag for me, but I'm happy to say that the highs far exceed the lows. And I wouldn't change a thing.
