Proposals

Haven't blogged for awhile because I've been busy writing!! Well, that's my business. I've done some magazine work and sent my middle-grade book out to an agent and am preparing a proposal for my nonfiction book on saints. Whew! And, in the middle of all this activity, we celebrated Nick's 75th birthday with Elvis singing Happy birthday to him. It was fun.
Which brings me to the point of tonight's blog--we are never too old to do something that we've dreamed of doing but couldn't because of life's circumstances. Look at me-70 years young and I'm submitting novels and proposals with high hopes of getting them published. My first books were not published until I was over 60.
You're also never too young to pursue a dream--look at all the young (really young from my perspective) entrepreneurs who are starting very successful business.
Age is just a number.
I have finished two sections of my saints book, enough to send to an agent or publisher, so out come the rules for writing a proposal. Succinct cover letter with my writing credits, addresses, numbers included; table of contents with chapter summaries; synopsis; author bio; and sample chapters. Oh, and a handsome picture for the cover of the proposal.
That should do it, so I'd better get to work.
