No luck so far with publishers

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything here–nearly five months.  In that time, I’ve gotten rejected nearly a dozen times.  Once for Pig, and received rejections from ten publishers for my gastric bypass book.  All form letters… and every one of them tough to read.  But it was necessary.

Now that I’ve been hired as the fitness director for the Nautilus Fitness Center in Alton, it’s time to get back to work on the book.  I’ve gotten tacit agreement from the owners of the center to begin a gastric bypass information group at the center in the spring.  The book could be a key piece of that… if I can get moving on it again.  Got the schedule worked out so that I’m off on Tuesday afternoons, so there’s a start.

Reworking my entire life in the last 16 months hasn’t been easy, and it hasn’t been cheap, either financially or emotionally.  But I’m really beginning to like this person I’ve become.  I want to keep the good from the old me and discard what wasn’t working…lots of work yet to be done.
