Highlight Of The Week #4

                                            Everyday is a brand new day, everyday is a journey.

I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me
(Psalms 13:5-6)

It's funny how quickly the weekend ends and a new week begins. If only the workweek would go by as quickly, but usually that's not the case. We began our week with a visit to the orthodontists. Not very exciting, I know, but then as the week unfolded, so did our schedule.

A year ago, I was invited to participate in a literary project where I wrote for 30 days on one topic.  As you all may know, I am not a professional writer with an education in Literature. Writing sort of just happened and here I am now. Yet, I've always wanted to stretch my capabilities as far as they can go when it comes to my writing. I gladly accepted the challenge.

This week, two things were highlighted above everything else. This writing project was one of these things. Since all of this is quite new to me, I found it both an adventure and tedious at the same time. A story involves a lot of work behind the scenes and a book even more. The process can take months at a time.

 First, I wrote my 30 days project and sent it to the editor. From there it goes to editing for grammar and sentence structuring. When finished, it's sent back to me to read over. Then I send it back once again for another editing process. After that, I get to re-read it for a final check. I did say it was tedious, didn't I?

Next, the fun part comes in where I choose a cover, the color scheme on the book and the size of the book. A "Forward" and "About The Author" has to be written right along with a beautiful picture of me. This was how I spent a big part of my week.

The other thing that highlighted my week, was a call from my chemo nurse to inform me that my mammogram came back with an abnormality. I needed to have another one done. Now, just about every time I have a mammogram, this happens. So, no worries, this is very common for me. Back to the scan I go and that's how I ended my week.

Have a blessed day everyone.
