Still on hold. Still waiting for the proof of my book. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to approve the book without seeing it so I can get the marketing process back on track. Thank God I have this rational voice in my head telling me to calm down and be patient. Without this voice I would have published a pretty raw version of the book and looked like a total loser. Right now I am only a partial one.
So I wait, rush outside when I see the Fed Ex truck, and get frustrated that it's not there. I feel like a kid at Christmas - "Where's my present?"
I got a crazy idea a week ago to begin writing a screenplay of the book. So I began chopping down the parts that seemed like they wouldn't translate on film. What a difficult process. How can I choose what to edit out? I think everything I wrote about is relevent but then again having the little league game and the frisbee dog segments in the movie doesn't really depict the essence of the house, the spiritual message, and the overall flavor of the book. Still I love those parts!
So for now, the screenplay is on hold until the marketing kicks in. There has to be some public interest anyway before a movie deal could ever take place.
This is impatient Scott signing off.
