Continued Exhaustion...
I am still really, really tired. I know crisscrossing the country doesn't help, but I am just whooped. But obviously I suffer from a bit of OCD, because I can't not post before tucking in under the covers.
I did want to post last night, but then the wind just got taken completely out of my sails. My editor emailed me the sell sheet and cover for my upcoming Bible Study.I tried to upload the image here, but it didn't work...
First, my title was changed, and apparently that happened a while ago, but I just found out last night. I asked if the cover design was done, because I met someone at NOC who is going to give me feedback. So, instead of UnDoing Church: Not Your Mother's Bible Study, they eliminated the second part and replaced it with 'Preparing for Worship". Then, there are dual images on the cover of a woman with her hands in prayer position and on the bottom opened in worship position. But it just isn't in sync with my style,voice or content.
I had to step back and stop hyperventilating. At one point Howie said something in his characteristic dry wit, and I just started to cry. I have really high hopes for this study, but in its original conception with the sassy title and all. As a matter of fact, it is that sassy title that garnered all the endorsement support I have gotten.
I slept on it and didn't wake up feeling any better, so I called my editor who was sympathetic and encouraged me to be in contact with the committee...
So what else is new, and why won't I be able to join Pam for coffee this week? Because I got a new very part time job that involves driving to Scranton and doing chart reviews, and Monday and Friday are committed writing days. I have a wonderful and peaceful quiet spot. I just have to get there, and some days that mobilization can be a real battle.
I want to see if I can figure out how I can show you what the cover image is. If you are willing to share your honest opinion (which I am going to do with my editorial board) drop me an email and I will attach the image to an email.
Blessings, Kathy
