Hello friends!
Another week another step closer! I am just one chapter away from completing the first rough draft of my very first book! It's been a whirlwind of thoughts, prayers, writing on my days off and in-between times, but here we are, on the cusp of something new and exciting.
What comes next, you ask?
Well, I've been giving that a lot of thought lately. My plan, as it stands, is to move through the next stages with the same faith and flexibility that has brought me this far. Once the first draft is complete, I'll dive into the second draft. This is where the real fun begins—adding content, cutting the fluff, cleaning up my thoughts, and ensuring everything flows consistently. It's like sculpting, starting with a rough block of marble and chiselling away until something special begins to emerge.
After that, a third draft will focus on the finer details: grammar, spelling, and perhaps refining my choice of words. It's all about polishing and preparing it to shine.
But I know that a book, especially one intended impact lives, cannot be born in isolation. That's why I'll be looking for 3-5 keen-eyed readers to provide honest, constructive feedback. If you're interested, stay tuned for how you can be a part of this journey.
Based on the feedback, I'll make adjustments and then... it's off to the publishers! This is where the path may fork—will it lead to traditional publishing, or will I venture into the world of self-publishing? Time will tell, and I'm open to where this adventure leads.
I'm charting this course as I go, friends. I have no roadmap for the path I'm on, but that's part of what makes it so exciting. Your encouragements mean the world to me, and I can't wait to share each step of this journey with you.
