I've mentioned in previous posts how I'm working on my first non-fiction book. It is supposed to be released to the general public in September, but unfortunately it isn't going to happen. Well, I should clarify that. The book is going to happen, it just isn't getting released in September. Because I've been so busy with another project that I committed myself to (in supreme arrogance), I was unable to spend the time and attention on the book project. While I managed to finish the other project (and ahead of schedule), my deadlines for the book project are pretty much not going to happen.
This is a complete bummer. It's a bummer on many levels, but the ultimate translation is the book release is being pushed back - possibly to early 2013. Blast! I know... I know... Deep breaths.
It is amazing to me how one minute I can feel totally victorious and on top of the world because I managed to do something that all the odds makers said was impossible, but then turn around and be smacked upside the head by reality. Oh, well, I suppose that just means more time for chocolate and taking photographs with Dawn.
On a positive note, I'm thinking about taking Mum and Dawn camping in August. Yep, camping. No RV or trailer, or even a camper. Just a tent, sleeping bags, and a little propane stove for cooking. That's going to be interesting. I cannot wait for their reactions, when I tell them. Dawn will be excited, but Mum will definitely need a Valium.
Camping sounds ace, and there is no shame in pushing it back because you had another project to complete - it's all part of a learning curve I reckon.
