"A Mile Towards China: a recollection by Rebekah Callaghan", is on its way, I promise. I have had the draft copies for nearly two weeks now, and theres a lot of excitement surrounding the whereabouts of the final copy. The story is...now that its all worked out, permissions are sorted, re-editting is done...Im terrrified. Yup..
I was honestly more excited than Ive ever ever been in my entire life when I got the draft. It was a real book! Of my story! But then suddenly, after the most important permissions were sorted, I got scared. Suddenly the whole thing became much bigger than I had ever anticipated. People I hardly knew were hearing about it, asking about it, wanting to read it. Friends of friends of friends wanting a piece of it. I never ever imagined it being this big, and its made me stop in my tracks. These are some of my biggest secrets, stuff I still struggle with. I'm being pulled in opposite directions. I'm facing a massive dichotomy, wanting so badly to share my story with the world, but being equally terrified of sharing my story. So this is an apology for the delay in getting the book out, Im just getting my head around it myself first.
It's coming, I promise.
This must be such an amazing experience for you! You shouldn't be afraid, I'm sure it is an amazing story that many would be touched by
ReplyDeleteThis must be such an amazing experience for me? The amazing experience being going to China, or writing a book?
ReplyDeleteI guess both, having been to China already, and writing your book. Both are amazing things in their own right
