Taking steps

Time to mention the book.  I warned you ...  I took another step today.  Maybe it's no big deal to you, but it is to me.  I created a FB page for my book "Rune Speaker".  I'm pretty pumped about this action.  It gets information about my book out there for people who may not have known I was writing a book.  A couple of weeks ago I created a web page for my book and last week started this blog.  In the movie "What About Bob?" a psychiatrist played by Billy Crystal is continually expressing the need of his patient played by Bill Murray to take baby steps until he is ready to take on the more important moves in his life.  I must say I think I've taken some big steps here in the last couple of weeks and I am excited by the very notion of seeing my book in print.  So where am I at with my book?  The manuscript is complete.  It is time to think about composing those query letters to prospective agents.  Actually, I have been working up the necessary hook and hopefully have snagged the right sentence.  Nevertheless, before I write any letters, I think it might be a good idea to convert the formatting of the Word doculment file from the 2003 version on my old computer to the 2010 version on my new computer.  It is my goal to do this without losing the whole manuscript.  That will be a step worth celebrating.
