Maybe you can have your name on the bottom of the cover. I am nowhere near looking for a cover yet but I still dream of that day and have ideas of what I want.

Because of it, I have totally restructured the first 100 pages of my novel, trying to plant more seeds and planning when each crop will be harvested. I really think I'm getting it!

If I was a betting woman, which I am, my money is on you to make it to the finish line. 10,000 words a month. Now that's a goal. I'll be watching and cheering from the sidelines. Good Luck, Christie Hi Brooke,

I'v been going back and forth between my chxch summaries and my chapters, which really helps keep things in perspective. I read your scaffolding post late last night and it's changed the way I'm working this morning. It definitely helps with clarity and focus. LOVED what you wrote about readers reading for pleasure and wanting payoffs. I saw two films this past weekend that lacked narrative mastery and felt disappointed and frustrated. This is one of the most useful things I'm learning from you: how to stay on task and not wonder into left field. I'm learning the importance of maintaining my narrative arc while providing small epiphanies along the way. Let's see if I can execute on the page what my mind is beginning to grasp!

I want to get my book out as soon as possible and I'm mostly interested in selling to my clients and people who are interested in what I'm doing. In this case I think my own promotional efforts will go as far as a publisher's---and I'm principally interested in building my platform. Once I have a larger platform---more readers, more presence, more everything---I'll probably consider shopping a book to a traditional publisher. For now, I've already hired an amazing designer to do my book jacket, which I'll share more about as I go. Very excited, actually, to not be dealing with a publisher on this particular project.
