Hired a copyeditor slash fact checker who is also going to format my endnotes.
Hired a cover designer. Got clear on a cover direction.
Wrote the jacket copy, front cover, back cover, inside flaps.
Rewrote the jacket copy based on my writer friend urging me to put on a marketing hat and use some over the top superlative adjectives, like "riveting" and "an extraordinary life."
Decided on a publisher.
Dreamed last night about Ellamae. She was holding the finished book in her hands.
Still much to do but it's happening.
In some other dimension, it's already happened.
So good. And what a wonderful image!
