You all have been very good to be supportive of me in this book journey, and I appreciate that!
In our writing classes in college, the professors told us that writing a book was much like having a baby. A long birthing process.
For me, today, another phase of labor ended. I received an email containing the proofs of the book!
In typical Bekah-fashion, I would like to say...EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing that preliminary cover for the first time brought a rush of emotion that I can't quite sort out. It was definitely exciting to see my name and picture...and bio. Loved unveiling the mystery of what the cover would look like. I knew the picture they were working with, but I had no idea what they would do with it. I was pleasantly surprised.
I loved opening the attachment that had the inside design as well. Loved seeing what each page would look like.
I still have some work ahead of me as I look through the pages and make the final tweaks. But it feels real now. I remember the excitement I felt that day back in February when I finished it, burned it onto the CD and put it in the mail. Since then, I've just been waiting (semi-patiently) and now that flood of joy and anticipation has surged again. I love it.
Can't wait to share the design with you!

SO exciting!!! Can't wait!!!!!
Okay, that's just awesome. Puts my little deck project to shame.
I am so excited to buy and then read your book someday soon. From henceforth I will be able to refer to you as, "My former roomate who is now a published author"!
Julie - ME EITHER!!
Christina - actually I'm both impressed by and slightly jealous of your "little" deck project. I think it looks fabulous! And ahhhhhh the roommate days. How I miss you!
Aww, thanks.
But see, the difference between my project and yours is that you actually did all the work and can claim an accomplishment. Me, I just supervised and wrote the check.
You rock...I just took surrepticious (did I spell that right?) pictures during and after construction.
And I miss you too. We need to chat soon.
Way cool, Chewie! Way cool!
VERY exciting... I marvel at your self discipline...
I mean... to write anything longer than an email would be daunting for most of us.
Sincere congrats!
Can't wait to see & read! Way to go! You Rock!
Congratulations!!! I can't wait to buy it and study it. You'll post a link to it the MOMENT it stops being secret, right???
