Speaking of Flying…

Posted on November 10, 2013 by russtowne

I just completed the rough drafts of my first two non-fiction books not written for children, all 64,541 words worth. It has been fun writing them.

One is titled, “From the Heart of a Grateful Man” and deals with love, relationships, soul mates, family, and friendships.

The other is titled, “Reflections of a Grateful Man” and deals with life, healing, dreams, forgiveness, challenges, grief, heroes, living, kindness, growth, compassion, and much more.

It’s going to be a long night getting them in better shape to send them to my content editor by my self-imposed deadline of 6am tomorrow (Sunday) morning, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.

Then I think I’m going to take the rest of Sunday off from writing…

With Love,
Russ

      Thank you, Mimi. I did. I finished heart faster than I thought at 1:15 and decided that since the editor would have plenty to work on with it, I might as well go to bed and work on “Reflections” today.
