Starting this week, I’ve decided to do something different with this series of articles. Instead of a weekly progress report, I want to write about the journey to bring a novel — a creative work — into the world. As Hillary Clinton wrote, it takes a village to raise a child. It may not take a village to write a book (though sounding boards are a wonderful thing), it does take a village to publish one. When I took my initial steps toward the goal of publishing The Gideon Effect, I had no idea how much help I’d find or have offered to me along the way.
I will have many friends to list on my eventual acknowledgments page. It may be longer than a page.
