What can I say, what is left to say. After 3 years the novel is finished, why am I so afraid to print, box it up, and send it off?
It is like my child, apart of me that is vulnerable and fragile.
I do not want someone to rip it apart and make it into a Danielle Steel novel.
Everyone thinks they have written the best novel ever. I have never made that claim, I do believe; however, that this novel, HAIL MARY! THE AVE MARIA DIAIRES, is inspiring and perhaps will help someone who is dealing with a traumatic past resolve some issues because when you write something down, read it, it all appears different.
So, today is the day, I will print it out, kiss the front page and send it off to Ms. Ellen Levine.
Then wait. Pray. Hope. That is all we can do, Hope and Pray. The rest of it is in God's Hand. I really do believe that. And that makes it seem real and acceptable to send out my fragile little novel.

Oh my gosh, Patti! Congratulations! That is so awesome. I wish you all the very best karma, luck and of course, God's grace, as you pursue publication of this labor of love. I have been querying agents and have had no luck so far. But I'm still hopeful -- it only takes one. Let me know how you are doing sometime. Love you, Angie H. (of Algonkian conference fame :))
