I am so thankful....
I am thankful this vision I have had in my head for so many years is coming to fruition.
I am thankful for my incredible Co-Op authors – Christine, Paula, Julie, Pam, Kathy, Maureen, Iris, Victoria, Alana, Caron, Marna, Caroline, Teri, Kelley, Arlene, Nina, Debbie, Christie, Sam, Jennifer, Norma, Jenn, Leeda and Malonda – for their wonderful energy, honesty, and time put into this project.
From my journal over 4 years ago...
I hear the quiet screams of mom writers wanting to be heard, women who have sacrificed a piece of themselves for the well-being of their families, Writers who cling to their journals as if their life depended on it – because for some, it does. The only sanity we find amongst our chaos is our writing, and the only self-fulfilling thought in our bodies is to publish these works, to share our experiences so that others mothers may not feel so all-alone.
The reasons for publishing lie deep within writers, and for mothers this desire is part of the legacy she leaves for her children. More than a book, more than income – publishing a book is a journey with extreme highs and lows, euphoria and devastation, pride and embarrassment.
A Book is Born captures the feeling between the pages of the mom writer's journal, between her printed book and her public appearances. A Book is Born is filled with potential and hope for all moms who write.
