Our Next Step

They are now requesting the whole manuscript, just the way I want it published.  I read lots of books, but who ever really pays attention to all the parts of a book.  It's been years since I was in school and learned where everything goes.  But I will try.  I must pick which stories go with what chapter.  The Contents goes in the front, separate chapters, put drawing in, this is fun.  Of course I get help from the family.  The dining room table is covered with paper.  It takes an hour but the book is now set up ready for mailing.  They call and tell me to send it on a disc, manuscripts have a way of getting lost.  Family help.  Stacy gets my instructions, I need a disc in rtf., whatever that is.  She actually knows all about it.  This is her assignment.  She said she would show me how.  After five minutes she just kept doing it herself.  She was afraid of what I would do.  She made two copies, one for the book company and one for me.  We double checked it and got it ready for mailing.  They said I could email it if I wanted.  Sure, if I knew how.  The next morning it goes to the post office and is now out of my hands and on the way to theirs.
