The ~*~BIG~*~ plan
I just wrote the first page of my book proposal. One down, anywhere from nine to nineteen to go.
I have started my sample chapter.
I'm organizing my table of contents.
This is absolutely gut wrenching. The process of turning grief into literature is like turning flour into dough, but I'm the mixer. I'm measuring, adding and stirring with all my strength. I'm pulling and pushing and kneading. I'm reliving every moment as I write about it, revising it to make it more readable, more fluid, add perspective from where I now stand. It is the hardest writing I have ever done. I have to not only get myself into the creative space, but I have to write, then pause and rest my heart, then go back to it. I know, in the end it will be the most rewarding, but what a journey it will be to put this together.
...I also revised my resume, you know, just in case.
