So I have the opportunity to write a blog about raising teenagers for a "Mommy site". My husband told me to ask if they minded before I went ahead (something that didn't even cross my mind). My daughter, surprisingly, thanked me for asking her first and asked to read it before I submit it. My son reminded me that he was no longer a teenager. He likes to remind me that he is an adult. Or when he's home he reminds me that "I don't live here anymore." That really grates on my nerves. Maybe because it really makes me sad and reminds me just how fast time has gone. Anyway, I told him that I will email him my blog before I submit it anyway.
Otherwise, the work on my book is going at a snails pace. Some days I'll really be on a roll and able to bang out a chapter or two and then nothing for a week. Maybe there's too many distractions at home. I'm going to try working at the cottage over the long weekend we have coming up here in Canada. Of course, I won't be there alone so we'll see how that goes. What I should really do is go up there by myself but I have this nonsensical fear of long driving trips when I'm the one doing the driving. I have gotten lost so many times, even just here in the city. My kids bought me a GPS last Mother's Day. Maybe I should actually hook it up to my car!
So, back to the book. Self-publishing is probably the route I will have to go but I have no idea how to go about marketing it. It was suggested that I simply start sending out query letters to agents and go from there. Any comments about this would be greatly appreciated!
