Disappointment in Writing


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.
