The Ups and Downs

One of the strangest things about this process is the waiting. There are times when work is put in and yet tasks are not accomplished.

Presently many things are on hold: the cover is awaiting the cover artist, the manuscript edits are awaiting the second to last review, and the ISBN etc are awaiting the book. Speaking honestly it is difficult to avoid feeling discouraged. The waiting is a challenge to my faith.

I won’t pretend to have it all figured out. There are days when every inch of my 6 foot 5 frame wants to curl up in a ball and not move. The cold sets in, the weight of the waiting weighs down. The calendar, the memory of the calendar begins to hit you, remembering the days and months of what feel like years. This is the part of the story they don’t show you in the movies. The waiting. Lots and lots the of waiting.

I look forward to sharing more cheerful updates in a day or two!
