It’s finished!!!
Yesterday, I finished editing the last chapter of my book project. It is now a complete first draft, rewritten and reorganized. And hopefully it is what Jeff was looking for. This morning, I emailed him the last chapters (he has the first 2/3 of the first draft already), so now he has a full first draft. I’ve been working on this project (on and off, mostly off at times) for about 7 years, so it’s high time I got it to this point. Anyway, now I’ll just have to wait and see where Jeff wants to take it since it’s really his dad’s book. I’ll keep you posted!
Yesterday, I worked on finishing the last couple of chapters. I also moved furniture upstairs so that I could clean the floors. Today, I’ll probably move all the furniture to the other side of the room it’s in and clean the other side. Then I can put the rooms back together again.
Last night, I went to church with Eric to help with an ice cream social event for the choir/orchestra. It was a rough evening for me. It was good to see people (I tend to not get much socialization during the summer), but I swear, everything I said came out wrong, and I really had to work hard at not being annoyed at people (like the guy who came in just about demanding I get out the ice cream for him and his family and the lady who decided we needed her to help us serve out the ice cream). Then again, I tend to be easily annoyed, so I finally had to decide to let them all just do what they wanted and not take it personally.
So when I got home (at 10:00 because I stayed to help clean up), I called Karen to chat with her for a second, and when I got off the phone with her, I called a friend who had left a message at about 10:00 to ask a favor. So Eric and I didn’t get to bed until 11:00 which is crazy late for us. No wonder I’m so tired this morning!
EDIT: A JOKE
After 28 years of accident free driving I finally had a wreck. I am fine, but it was one of those stupid rear end collisions, where it could have been avoided. It was really nobody’s fault.
To my surprise, the guy I hit was a dwarf and he stormed out of his car, stomped back to my car and shouted at me, ” I AM NOT HAPPY !”
So, I asked him, “Well, which one are you then?”
Learned one thing about dwarfs; they don’t have a sense of humor……
:END EDIT
YAY!!!! I’m glad the book project is finished!!!
I’ve actually heard that it’s a good book. Now that I know he’s so into it, though… I’m probably less likely to read it!
^ So it’s not true, then? I was going to be impressed with your quick wit! ^
I thought that joke was so funny when Dad sent it.
I’m glad you finished your book project …for now!! 11:00 is crazy late, but it seems to happen more often in the summer for some reason!
It’s a book on the biblical teaching about the Christian’s mind.
Bill Brock (a pastor in Columbus) wrote the book based on a sermon series that he preached in the 1970’s. It was accepted for publication, but with the stipulation that it would need serious editing. He didn’t want to change it. He died in the mid -80’s, and in 2000, his son gave me the manuscript to see if I could do anything with it.
What friend? What favor?
^ That’s my question, too! ^
I also get easily annoyed at people, so I understand completely!
I’m sure I asked this before, but what’s the book about? I can’t remember. So glad that it is done … for now!
