Hurray, I have the book back for editing from the publisher! I am proud to say there are not too many edits to complete, no more than I can get done over the next few days so they can have it back by early next week to print the first full proof. It is getting so exciting to see it all happening now. It has a life of its own and soon I will have to let go of my little baby! Already I am feeling some separation pains but once we are done with the publisher, it is all about word of mouth and advertising. I have begun thinking again about YouTube commercials and videos promoting the cookbook, in a very funny, tongue in cheek sort of way, and how to create email chains that people will actually pass on to their friends and family, and how I can use social media and the internet to create interest in the cookbook. I wonder if I should offer promotions to college dorms or social clubs just so people could see the cookbook. Even better, get the college campus bookstore to carry it!
And I got a nice surprise tonight. My guy rather than having to work tonight as he usually does (he works with residential deaf clients and works from one in the afternoon until eleven each evening), will be home for dinner. We get to spend a mid week evening together; such a rare treat. He has been working really hard lately, at work and on the new house, that he is really exhausted. I think tonight I will just spoil him with treats, kindness, love and the remote control for the television and allow him to have a totally bludging kind of night! Better run to the kitchen to figure out what to cook tonight!
