2013-07-09 – After pitching my book at the Printers Row Lit Fest last month, I arranged a 45 minute consultation with organizers of Lit Fest Pitchapalooza, the Book Doctors. The consultation was yesterday.
Getting a book published is a big overwhelming deal. I actually work in the publishing business and I don’t have more than the slightest clue of what to do. People think that writing a book is a big deal, but my background made the writing part not so much of a problem. I’m not saying that the writing part of it wasn’t a big project, but I basically know how to do that part of it.
I feel like my son the chef. He graduated culinary school just last year and he’s gotten himself jobs in some high-class restaurants. He wants, someday, to open his own restaurant. He thought it would happen really soon. But as he got into the business, he learned there was a lot more to it than cooking food.
Same with writing a novel. I’ve cooked the book (well, that sounds wrong already!) but I don’t yet have a plate to put it on, or wait staff, or tables, or customers. That’s the missing piece. And it’s a big piece.
So my consultation went well. I’m in the midst of a rewrite that was triggered, partially, by my experience at Pitchapalooza. But now, I have a bunch of other “assignments” that should help me in selecting and approaching agents and publishers when the current rewrite is complete.

Furthermore, a fable regarding the banking institutions intentions any time
talking about foreclosure is that the financial institution will not
take my repayments. There is a certain quantity of time that the bank will need
payments from time to time. If you are as well deep in the hole,
they’re going to commonly require that you pay the actual payment in full.
However, i am not saying that they will have any sort of installments at
all. In the event you and the loan company can be capable
to work something out, the foreclosure process may cease.
However, in case you continue to neglect payments within the new
system, the property foreclosures process can pick up exactly where it left off.
