Mommy Chronicles

Today has been a whirlwind of emotion. Today has been filled with complete elation and second guessing. Today has been the day that I have approved the final galley of my 1st childrens' book entitled "Bath Time Blues". One's first book is one with many surprises. There are great moment and not so good moments, moments that make you so frustrated you question why you are doing this in the first place. Then that passion that enticed the whole birth of this beautiful story quickly fills you up again and you pick up the pieces. At that moment you dust yourself off you pull it together and are just as enthusiastic as ever. There were many emotions that touched my soul today as I pierced through each page of the final galley my publisher had sent over three times today with new corrections I found each time that needed to be corrected. Getting through that mind boggling process, in this new world of flowing words...I did it. I am filled with such accomplishment as I write this, I feel as though I'll burst from the happiness seeping through my pores. It's off to the printing presses now...soon it will arrive in my hands and that will be one glorious day. I, a mother of 4 from Columbus, New Jersey would have left her everlasting mark on the world. I will be a part of the literary realm, a lulling voice in the page, a forever presence for many years to come.... Yes, I think I can say that today has been a very good day~
