Finishing touches.

This project has been over one year in the making and seeing it come to conclusion has certainly been a task. Taking the little blurbs, notes, postings and thoughts about characters or scenes, compiling research and turning fiction to reality and somewhere in between has not been easy at all -- much more difficult than I originally anticipated.


Our thoughts do not always follow familiar patterns. Writing is very much like this.


I have talked about this novel for so long and now that it is almost complete, I think about how much it has changed and begin thinking about how much I have changed with it. There is some vanity in writing; will the author in the mirror be the author we see?


One more thing: “The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give. “ – Eleanor Roosevelt. Our work, novels, friends, hearts – so be it.
