Emotional Rollercooster....

I have been on an emotional roller coaster....Hence my new musical selection. Ms. Vivian Green- Emotional Roller coaster.

I have come to you all with all that I have been going through in order to get my Manuscript edited, published and circulated to the masses. Well, if you have been keeping up with my Journey through this Blog you know that I have been in contact with an editor that was refered to me. She is wonderful. However we did suffer through a break down in communication. Mostly due to my lack of technical knowledge. When she advised that maybe this project required time that she may not be able to dedicate because of her already full work load... to say I was heartbroken is an understatement. I cried the entire day! I however did not reply to her with anger. Because anger is not what I felt. I completely understood her point. I do need a little more patience. I am sure that she is used to working with Authors who have more of an idea of what it entails to produce a project like this. Also ones who have more skills when it comes to different technology. This was a blow to me and my ego. I felt deflated because I have been working on the writing of the book for quite some time. I started this Blog as a way to express myself on the Ins and outs and the ups and downs.... All surround my work. My first Manuscript. "TORN". So when I think that I am closer to realizing my dream and that news darkened my email, I didn't know what to do.

This is what happened. My support team stepped in and picked me up. My Honey (Jerome) :-) My mother in Law and my sister in law. They consoled me, They encouraged me, and they made me smile.

After that, I knew that there will be days like this. And that nothing worth having comes easy. I already knew that, but sometimes you have to get knocked down just to prove to yourself that you can get back up. I am now still standing tall. Maybe even taller. Because I have already made my way through that... I will be able to handle whatever happens next with a better understanding.

My editor, contacted me again after withdrawing from my project. We are in the process of trying to iron things out. I want to continue to work with her. I feel like she is already so much a part of my journey.

I will let the Lord have His will and it will end up just the way it's always been intended.

I will keep you all posted if we are going further or if I will be on the look out for a new editor. Although I hope that my search is over and stops with her.

Thank You so much for checking me out. I have been receiving so many visits to Trials, Tribulations, and Torn. That alone will make all the negative things disappear. Please don't be shy... leave a comment.

Lots of Love, Liz....

A Book By Any Other Name...

The editing process isn't even complete and there is a snag!!! I recently found out there is another book by the name of "Torn"!!! ( Oh No Right... Same thing I thought) So... I'm not really sure if I can proceed with the book title as "Torn" for my Manuscript. I am so confused... (Sighs). I love that title and although both books are most likely about a love triangle. I am sure that the stories are completely different. I will be asking my editor if I can proceed with that title or do I have to come up with another name. It wont be that bad. However the whole time that I have been writing, putting together the concept and promoting this Blog, it was always "Torn" that I thought of when I thought of my 1st Manuscript.
The important part is that I see my dream fulfilled whether it's by that name or another. So I wont complain.... It could be so much worse. Everybody that knows me...knows that I stay positive.
As for the progression, the book is still in the editing phase and I am still weighing my options on publishing. I am looking for a publishing company. But if I am not able to find one and a contract that is suitable, I will self publish. I am still in the research phase. So if any of my followers have any info Please contact me and let me know.

I am truly Thankful for everyone that comes by to read my Blog, and participates in the surveys, and Just to support me and my dream.

Lots of Love, Liz...
