The work proceeds slow but sure. I have had more interviews with the domestic violence project, and I believe fieldwork will be done by summer's end.
Next comes the tricky part, finding a publisher. I am using Writer's Market for listings and will be sending out queries next week. I hope I will find a nibble.
Work continues on the other projects. The child-centered theory of folklore and education work is at a standstill right now as I try to figure out where to take things next. I keep reading over what I have written so far to see where I need to fill gaps. This will take time, and I am in no rush.
The other writing project depends greatly on the writer whom I am editing. She sends me sections for me to incorporate into the general text and we are moving along fine. 1 December for the first draft. 1 May for the final draft. And then too we will need to shop for publishers.
I am getting a great lesson on patience here. I must learn to be patient with the work and with myself. It is a slow process and I know this. Sometimes it is too slow for my liking. Oh well, there it is.
