Nearly a year?

I certainly have left this blog fallow for a long time, but it's not like it has followers. Throwing some personal material in, the economy was a big problem for us, but I'm settled in a real job now and we have a 2nd girl. My wife's blog is The Rutherford Files.

While all that was going on, I got away from being stuck on the first book by plotting a second one. I then lucked out and Kim's aunt Susan agreed to edit the 1st book - someone that doesn't have to be nice to me, but, as a school teacher, was willing to really go through it. She gave me some good feedback that surprised me as much as anything because it was pretty minimal. She liked it and thinks it's work publishing - yay!

She also suggested I add chapter titles, which I had considered. That took a lot of creativity! I now have a spread sheet of over 200 doggies sayings and etc. to inspire chapter titles in future books.

So, I seem to have a version of my first novel that is fit to show people. Maybe I should update my blog?
