Here I sit and wait on one correction to be made on the back flap of cover for my republished book, Saga of the Ages. It has taken nearly a week to get something done. At least my original publisher was faster, although the books were more expensive online. Golden rule: You get what you pay for. I wanted to reproduce a book that was less expensive and more affordable to readers. I wonder if I invested wisely into republication. There is no way to know until I get results. Are there any other writers or authors out there that have experienced the same thing? Am I just too impatient? It has only been a few weeks if that.
The Main Focus 
Hi Anne! It’s been too long since I saw you last. How are you doing these days? I wish I could answer your question but have never published more than a few stories in the local paper, some poetry that is long forgotten even by the magazines that accepted them, and now my blogs. Other than that, I just do the reading when my vision is clear enough to see the page. I have thought about you since the last time we were in contact, but keep as busy as my vision will allow making quilts and doll clothes. Take care, okay?

Thank you for replying. Good to hear from you again. You are right that it has been a long time. Time tends to slip away from our busy lifestyles. How are you doing? I am doing good. I never took up sewing in my lifetime, except for sewing hemlines. I guess I wasn’t interested. My maternal aunt could knit, crochet and make anything she wanted. I admire you for it. I had surgery last summer and waiting to schedule surgery in the springtime. I’m just a little annoyed with this publisher, that’s all. They are legitimate but slow getting things out. I should have dug deeper into other writers’ reviews. Lesson learned. I hope you continue to be okay. Please keep in touch.

I’ll sure try. I took a long hiatus from blogging because of some temporary blindness. You gotta love MS. Never a dull moment. I learned to sew and crochet at a very young age because the MS became active when I was eleven and I didn’t have the energy for other pursuits. Started quilting at 16, then taught myself to knit after I was married and pregnant with my first baby. The good part of needlework is that I can do it year round inside and outside both. It would be nice to have more energy but then my family wouldn’t all have quilts!
Good luck with the surgery.. If they ever come up with one for MS I[ll be first in line!
Hugs

Unlike MS, I feel better after exercise and movement. I do get fatigued though and have to watch my energy level. I have lived with LEMS as an older adult. LEMS is a cousin of MS. I live with joint pain every day. Sometimes, I wish they would take a magic wand and correct anything physically wrong. Chuckle. I developed LEMS after a bout of breast cancer at the end of 2010.

I thought LEMS was probably related beyond the similarity in the name. Exercise has kept me going through the years. It’s hard getting started though because I.know now I’ll feel after the work ! But I want to take a long walk through the woods again! The fatigue and leg spasms are the worst part of it all and I don’t use pain meds. They make me feel wonky and I want to be in control. Always a control freak I guess!
Well, now for another attempt at sleep! Let me know how the book edit goes. 😇👼 ❤💝
