I finished the final editing of my book after a phone conferance with my editor in Texas. I sent the manuscript in to my publisher on Tuesday, July 22, at 10:43A.M. Tom sent his creation of the cover from his head, to the computer, then to the publisher on Wednesday, July 23, at 1:29P.M.      Now we wait to see if they create the cover as Tom visions it .

Envelope just arrived from Texas!

My last pages just arrived from my People in Texas. Now the race begins! Will I be done with my final editing before my cover people are done with the cover. The last I checked the cover was back in his head for more creativity. 

My People are Making Progress. At Least Some of Them.

                                      
                                         Texas: Mike, sports editor of the Dallas Morning News,
                                         finished editing the last 11 pages of my book. Maureen
                                         is rushing to the Post Office to mail the pages to Pennsylvania.

                                         Pennsylvania: The final editing of the pages of my
                                         manuscript is complete except for the 11 pages in Texas.
                                         When the 11 pages arrive from Texas, I will complete                
                                         the final editing. Then send it off to the Publisher.

                                         Pennsylvania: The progress of the cover. From head
                                         to computer to head again for more creativeness.

Progress of new book.

I am done with my part of writing my book. I again encouraged Tom to show me something of the cover he has been working on for the last 6 months. He went into his computer room and when I went to check on the progress: Here is Tom!!! I asked him, "What are you doing?" He said, "I am working on your cover." I said, "Where is the cover?" He said, "It's all in my head." I said, "I can't see inside your head. Put something on paper so I can see it."

Enought about black and white colors. I have always been drawn to shades of brown, green, and blues. However, for this cover I have been considering a purple background and yellow letters. I can't come to a final decision so I thought I would go to the book store and see if any colors stand out. Just before I left I told Tom I have come to a decision, the background is going to be yellow and the letters red unless I find some color more appealing at the bookstore.

After going up and down many the aisles a book caught my eye. The colors are yellow and red, Tom's name and my maiden name Wolfe. This has to be a sign. What I don't know. Of course I had to buy the book. I tried to read it to find a clue, however, I don't think it's his best writing. Some others tried to read it and couldn't get past the first few pages. There just has to be a reason I was drawn to yellow and red before I left for the book store and this book was sitting on the shelf with our names on it in bright red letters

. 

A scene from my upcoming book where I sit pondering about which shade of white to paint my kitchen and living room. I am a victim of this multi-color era.
