​blog: You'll Never Be Quite the Same

Update on the Rachel Field biography

            At last I can say, “my book will be published next year.” Sitting at Anna and Robert’s guest desk and at their kitchen counter, I’ve spent hours constructing answers for the “book summary” and “cover design” information sheets from She Writes Press, due soon.
            It’s hard.
          “What’s your book about?” “Describe your protagonist.” Might as well ask, “Summarize your mother,” or “Tell me who you are.” You have to translate a deeply rooted, emotional experience into a few, pithy catchphrases. This blog’s exercises in brevity are useful.
       The good news is that I continue to feel a rush of elation each time I re-read my manuscript about Rachel Field’s life. There’s always this lurking fear that I’ll open the book one day and realize it’s terrible, but so far so good. I think you’ll like it!
