The things I'm learning....

As an avid reader all my life, I thought I would never fall prey to the same things I see other self-published authors fall prey to. I taught English, was a recruiter for a business college, and I've been a motivational speaker. You'd think with all that 'schooling' and teaching that I wouldn't have problems with editing. Sigh. I still do. I read the stuff I've written, and because I already know what it says my eyes just glide over the boo boos. I am so happy that my readers so far have seen past the errors and typos and the misspellings and found the beauty. However!!! I have pulled 'Running Barefoot,' re-edited it, and have put an updated edition out there. I HATE that there are editing problems and I am so sorry that it has distracted some of my readers from enjoying the book.
Being a one-man-show (writer, editor, publisher, promoter, mother of four and wife) is difficult, I'm finding. This first go round has been full of bittersweet moments and both happy and sad tears. Thank you for reading and taking a chance on this newbie author. Thank you for your feedback, both good and bad, because that keeps it all real. And thank you for loving 'Running Barefoot.' It is a very personal book for me, and I am so glad I have the opportunity to share it.
