Annick Book
Tough slog today. I had to try to bang out the outline for this non-fiction book about Chinese inventions. I must admit that I'm sweating on this project. I don't have the contract yet, and everything depends on how well I capture a sense of the series in just four pages. I mapped out the sections of the book and gave a paragraph description of each section, along with a fleshed out section to demonstrate the tone I'd use for the book.
I'm going to look it over tonight and then polish it tomorrow. I'd like to send it off to the publisher by the end of the week, but I want to make sure that I have something that's decent. Hmm, no one ever reads work that shows up at the end of the week. Maybe I'll sit on it over the weekend and make sure that I can really kick the outline into shape. Yes, that's a much better idea.
