I got some good news today, that the Niagara Gazette will do a feature on the story, under the column Niagara Writers. Since WTGIB has only been available on the Kindle thus far, it's time to move to print. So I pushed the button. Rather anticlimactic, really, except for the torrent of emails I got from Lulu. congratulations!!! you wrote a book!!!!
It does seem more tangible to hold the book in hand. It seems spooky to open my Kindle and see my words on the screen. Especially when I spot a typo. Yes, I can post a revision, but it seems like cheating. I guess I'm working with a print mind.
The fun part about the Gazette story is that I'm asked to write an intro to the story. The family history connection to a local landmark seems to write itself. And that's when I go back several years ago and relive my enthusiasm when I started this project, thinking how cool this would be and, well, to be honest it's been a hard project to finish, especially near the finish, but it's done and out there and that's a relief.
