I moved. Which never sounds easy, but my move was from Seoul, Korea to Annapolis, Maryland. Stress does not even begin to describe my world over the last few weeks.
Now, I’m working on establishing my new life in a new place. I go house hunting tomorrow.
The sooner I find a place and settle down, the sooner I can get started working on the edits for the book. My editor has suggested some very reasonable and doable changes and I can hardly wait to dig in and start working on them.
Actually, the fact that she read the manuscript, had suggestions for changes, is scheduling time to “work” on the pages, was a validation I never expected EVER in my lifetime to have. This is that huge NY city muckity, muck editor I talked about before. I feel like, even if she wants changes, I’ve finally been officially dubbed, a writer. I’ll be working with an editor! I’ll be working hand in hand with her to improve the manuscript. The good thing is, at this point, I have little, to no ego to be hurt by her suggestions or desires. I think this is going to be great.
But first, I have to find a place to live. At least my timing is right. It is a buyers market…
About Me
- M. L. Doyle
- Master Sergeant Lauren Harper is the main character in my mystery series. She’s a broadcast journalist in the Army, a job that takes her all over the world to cover the good and the bad about Army life. The bad part is she keeps stumbling over bodies. The good part is she’s smart enough to figure stuff out. My first published work, "I'm Still Standing," tells the story of Shoshana Johnson, a female P.O.W. taken captive during the Iraq war. The book is set to be published in February 2010. I can hardly wait. I earn a living by working for the Army in a job no one cares about. I live in Baltimore, Maryland.
