The subject of my book, the man who’s story I’m writing is “utterly impressed” with the first 10,000 pages and says it’s “exactly” what he was looking for. (Relief!) Well, how many times have I heard him say:
The French book didn’t do this.
The French book didn’t do that.
That’s what was missing from the French book.
That’s what I didn’t like about the French book.

While in fairness to the author of ‘the French book’ hindsight is 20-20, it wasn’t well written at all. Just awful, in fact. So it’s my job to make the English a whole new world. I’m adapting it quite a bit, though. I don’t know if you could call it the same story!
Anyway, I hit the mark the first week. Week 2 will be weaker but that’s okay. I’ll work through it.

So, the parcel I got was three of my Sing, Girls, Sing! books returned from an Ottawa bookstore and a cheque! Two of them sold. Great news. In other news, I had a school board lady tell me (indirectly through a grade 5 teacher) that my book SGS is “inappropriate for this age level” which is 10 years old. She claims some of the lingo isn’t suitable for this age group. Hmmmm… that makes me think it’s edgy and the kids would definitely want to read it now! ha.
