After writing the rough draft from nothing, detailing the painful 32 year journey through an alcoholic family, watching my mother die of cancer over 5 years, and ultimately losing my mind for 6 months, you would think editing the book would be a breeze. I think I’ve found out why writers have editors though. I can’t stand editing. Whereas I could write 10-20 pages from nothing a day without feeling drained, editing 5 pages can take up to 4 hours for me.
I’m exhausted. Trying to finish the editing, finding a web developer, all while trying to be an executive recruiter for the top firm in Atlanta in the worst employment market since the 1930’s has got me feeling overwhelmed. On top of that, quitting smoking, day 4, has now give me flu like symptoms, not unlike the hellashish interferon treatment of over a year ago.
Just wish I could write and publish books full time. Soon though, very soon. Books4free.com will be a reality, my autobiography will be released, and God willing the books4free.com business model will work, be profitable, and allow me to begin finding new writers for the site, slowly building it up from scratch. I’ll of course start with stories of recovery, simply because there are so many miracle stories within that realm, but eventually I’d like to be publishing science fiction, mysteries, fantasy, and the like.
Until then all I can do is to keep trudging.
