Yesterday...

Yesterday, I got the very first printed BOOK! It was great to see it...although, I still see misspellings and/or typos. I don't understand that, I thought that is what the EDITOR was to do? But I have to read it again and then send off my approval. After that, the book "Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit" is ready! Look back here for an Email purchase right here on this BlogSpot. Hope you are all having a great night.

"I GOT IT!"

Yesterday was a bad day for me; Bills, Work, Feeling Bad, Sad, Mad, and well you name it - I was there yesterday.
But WAIT! I got the book through my Email and the PROOF reading book should be sent out within seven days. ONE MORE READING, so they say. "Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit" should be ready no later then August, 2012.
I'm off to do more reading, please wish me GOOD LUCK!

First Book Reading - June 30, 2012 - 7:00 pm

A group of us are getting together in Mountlake Terrace for a FUNDRAISER called, “Green Tee-Golf Tournament.”

My husbands cousin invited me to read a few paragraphs from my book. I’m going to read the “Preface”, “Introduction”, a part from the “Pook Men” chapter, also a small glimpse of the “Wedding” that takes place.

My plan is to have a “Pook Man” mask at the gathering so others understand what it looks like. Also this will help keep the guests eyes off of me as I’m reading. I’m gathering up all my courage for this and it will be great practice for me.

If you are interested in attending, please send me an Email so I can give you some details.    dawnleelawrence@gmail.com

Today a song keeps playing in my head, “Amazing Grace.” Sometimes I think that people might be thinking that I’m crazy for thinking that I can write a book. Well, here is something for you all to think about, “I was not gifted in my schooling, and I struggled. But through God’s grace he cleared my mind so that I could understand his WORD (the bible). I read through his WORD four times, and loved finding out more about HIM. I learn something new every day, and hope to learn so much more. I'm self-taught in running a business (Big Salmon Fishing Resort), building websites, making a blog, my hobby - quilting, and now writing. You can do it too!

Still waiting for my first book to PREVIEW

The publishing company said that they would notify me as soon as they send out my first printed book. Well I’m still waiting.

The next step in this very long process is; the publishing company will send the very first printed book to me for preview. I have to read it again one more time to check for any changes that I would like to see before selling, “Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit”

Tonight I was graced by my newest granddaughter’s presence; I babysat her for the first time. She was so precious tonight as she slept she began to make a very peaceful almost sighing sound. We laughed her parents hadn’t heard her do this before; it was almost like a little kitten making a purring sound. She was just happy that her grandma Dawn was sending her LOVE.

My book talks of such things; everyday blessings that take place and we forget to take time to be thankful for.

Received LAYOUT

A Layout of my book was received today, through my email address.

It looks great!

I’m not happy with the size of the chapters but I told myself, It’s my first book, learn from the mistake.

Details: 240 pages, awesome pictures of the book cover as headers for each new chapter, nice font to make thoughts standout and so much more.

 I need to send a picture to the company to place above my dedication. It’s just one more step to being ready, and I can’t wait.

P.S. My baby granddaughter came a week or two early and she is BEAUTIFUL!

Picture for the back of book

A Mr. Ernst-Ulrich Schafer from Port Angeles, WA took quite a few pictures of me a week ago. I'm going to purchase two more for future book signings. I'm a person that really HATES letting people take pictures of me; not very photogenic. But I'm going to work on that, when I was little (seven or eight years old) I would hide behind my sister when we had to pose for pictures. So this started at a very young age...

                                       THANK YOU MR. ERNST-ULRICH SCHAFER
AND THANK YOU TO ONE OF MY MANY COUSINS; FOR ALLOWING ME TO TAKE THIS PICTURE IN YOUR YARD. TAKEN OUT AT TSOO-YESS BEACH ROAD - BEAUTIFUL AREA!

People watching

While walking the beach with my granddaughter; I watched a grown man park his car, walk down to the beach, take off sandals, and continue on to the water. This man was in his late thirties but at the moment he looked like my granddaughter. He waded in the ocean and turned in circles taking pictures with his CELL PHONE. Studying this man I knew that he renewed his inward peace at that exact moment.

A woman was with her family; a group of five or six. Everyone was very sober faced and looked uptight. A comment was made to this woman, nothing out of the ordinary. She flow off the handle and stomped out of the building cursing; I didn’t know that women my age would have such foul language. It’s always upsetting when you have to deal with people such as this. But truly 98% of the people I meet are very polite.

How do you want to be seen?
