I Might Just Make It

Good morning, Readers!
Picture
This is amazing. It kinda looks like how I imagined Vancouver to look like in "Skylark." This piece was done by deviantart.com user sketchboook. They've got more really cool pieces, so click the image to see more brilliant art.
Lordy, I have been working hard.  Granted, I've been working hard on things I should have done before now, but still.  I've been working hard on getting everything in line for submitting Soldier to my favourite publisher.  I've also been doing a proper timeline of the events in the book, and creating a bible of characters, items and places that are mentioned in the book, no matter how briefly of unimportant they might be.  It could turn out that one of these tiny, throw-away things I created will blossom into something really important.

That has been the case for a number of things in the past.

As this series is quite easily the most elaborate thing my brain has concocted, creating this bible was kind of necessary.  I also want, when I have time, to create a book of illustrations for all my scenes, characters and events.  First, though, I plan on taking an oil painting class or three.  Starting in January, when my financial situation levels out a little bit and I can afford the materials necessary.

I also have to create a bunch of maps, so I can keep the locations straight, but that will happen after I send in my submission, which will happen as soon as I'm certain that I can send in the manuscript without hesitation if it is asked for.  Fingers crossed, but let's keep our expectations reasonable.

On the agenda today, writing a cover letter, reworking my synopsis, and then combing through the manuscript to make sure every scene has the right ambience, and conveys the correct mood.  That achieved, I will be sending the submission off.

I've probably over-thought literally everything about this, but I really, really want this one to work out for me.

Wish me luck!

I have to get to work now.  Have a good day.

Ciao!
