   I must apologize for not writing in here for so long. I have no real excuse. Yes, life has been "crazybusy." Anyhow, I've been working like a monk trying to finalize changes, page numbers, etc. After 11 long years, I finally wrote a query that I was pretty happy about. I e-mailed it and the first 5 pages of my story to an agent whom I hope & pray will represent it. Finding an agent is really tough, but I really respect one in particular. She is really helpful and has an excellent blog and website. She works hard to make all writers successful. That was what really made me want her for an agent. That, and she's a Christian, too. At this point, I better keep her name a secret. I'll give out more information in time.
   The story has never really been described. It is called Noah's Diary. It's just that.  4,000 year old tablets are found and translated. It's the eyewitness account of life before the Flood, while the Ark was being built, and their time aboard the Ark for more than a year.
   Hitting Send on the e-mail was like putting Moses in the basket and letting him go on the Nile. After 11 years, it feels like a child to me. That's probably weird to you, but that's how it is.
   In the future, I hope to build up this blog, and to create ways to involve you more. Your feedback is really important to me. Thanks for reading this. I appreciate your prayers.

   I feel badly. I haven't written here for weeks. I've barely had time to touch the computer. It's been a challenge just to briefly look at Facebook.
   Well, no, I didn't do the NaNoWriMo. I really wanted to try it. I DID have my daughter read my story and point out any problems. She found quite a few. I corrected those, and am in the slow process of numbering the pages. The last couple weeks have been ridiculously busy. As soon as the pages are numbered, I need to write my query, then off it goes. I have a really godly lady in mind who I pray will represent the book.
   Then, I start the outline for my next story. Please stay tuned.
