Sometimes I feel like a kid, asking if I’ve arrived yet. The funny part is, we never do, do we? If we’ve arrived, that means we must be dead. Life is a journey, and a struggle, and all that jazz.

Still, there are plenty of enjoyable moments in every day. One of the fun things I did recently was create a “mock cover” for the beta book. My beta-readers like to read books in their native habitat (ie, bound, with a cover), so I oblige, and get to make things like this:

The good news is, if I’m mucking around with cover designs, then I must be done with editing. Quite so. One last read-through, and then it’s Query Time.

With endings, and beginnings, and patience, I found this verse to contemplate: “The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.” This is Solomon, Ecc.7:8.

I continue to pray for patience as this writing/publishing process goes along. All in His good timing.
