— Deadline screaming down the pike. I’ve been immersed in this project for a month now. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s been a marathon not a sprint. It’s going to be hard to “let it go”, once it’s all over with. I’ll share more about the project when it’s further along, and feel comfortable making an announcement. Last night my whole family (mother, brother, two sisters) sat around in our respective states texting one another. All of my siblings have new babies, as I know I have mentioned. So my phone was filling up with cute pictures of babies, my new nieces and nephews. It’s awesome! As a joke, I took a picture of a page of my notebook, filled with writing for this particular project, and sent it to everyone. “And here’s what’s going on with ME.” Someone said, “How many pages do you have, Sheila?” I said, “40. But I need to boil it down. Obviously.” Then Mum said (texted), “It’s like the recipe for maple syrup. 40 gallons of sap to 1 gallon of syrup.” I LOVE that analogy. It’s perfect for the writing process! The end goal is 1 gallon of syrup but you need those 40 gallons of sap to get there. Challenging, when you are surrounded by sap, to believe that all of that will ever become syrup! <\/p>\n
