Monday’s Musings
A smattering of different kinds of news…
- On The PrePub Front: All processes are nearly complete. I have a cover…but not sure of it’s final form. Keeping my fingers crossed on that. I’m in the last stages of galley proofing. Ugh. Have you ever read your work so many times that you just can’t stand it? I have to read it one…..more…..time. It’s just painful. At any rate, I should be done soon. Then, if there is a God, I’ll never have to read the blessed book again.
- Winners: I have about ten book winners. When the aforementioned galley proof is done, all the work necessary to send the thing to the printers should be done. I’m hoping I’ll have copies in my hands about early to Mid-April. I’ll send them out right away and post when I’ve done so. Thanks to all those brave enough to take a leap of faith.
- Guest Posting Tuesday: Terry Odell was kind enough to ask me to post on her site. I’ll do that this Tuesday—that’s tomorrow–the 23rd. When I post on another blogger’s site, I actually try to write something worthwhile instead of the drivel you’re forced to endure here. Accordingly, you might want to drop over to see if there’s anything useful in my post. My topic is, Query Tracker. A very good internet tool to…well…track queries—among other things Get the full story over at Terry’s.
- Fly Fishing: Gotta figure how to get some in. Gonna do more this year than last…and that’s a PROMISE. Maybe even get in a Montana trip…maybe.
Okay, that’s it for now. Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again Tuesday at Terry’s place, and on Wednesday back here.

Oh, I’m with you. I’m SO SICK of my own writing right now. I’ve got 3 different things to proof and…ugh. I’m procrastinating it right now!
You’re always welcome at my blog, Galen. Name your date.

Okay, quit your whining about re-re-reading your book. You’re getting published, aren’t ya? Heh heh.
All kidding aside, I can’t wait to get my copy. I will also drop by Terry’s site to see what you have to say too. If you do get the chance to go by Montana this year though, make sure you post some pictures. That is beautiful country begging to be shared with the world.
You’re almost there – just keep reading. It’s GOTTA be easier than writing the monster.
Does the cover look okay then?
“write something worthwhile instead of the drivel you’re forced to endure here …”
LOL, stop it.

I am sooo excited for you!
Oh Galen– I WISH I had such a good reason to be so sick of my work. Sadly, at the moment, it is just that I can’t face another revision… Congrats on being so close! I’m excited for you!
I also get sick of my books and hate reading the final version (after the copy editor has had a go at it), hate reading the advance review copy even more, and (to admit to the embarrassing truth) don’t read the published book at all, except for those tiny sections I use at readings. However, holding the published book in my hands and staring at the cover is a real pleasure.
Galen, congratulations on getting the cover. A lot is on your plate.
