Sofie, the Queen of Oakland

October 3, 2006

Had I known editing was this difficult, I might have simply 'thought' about writing the original draft rather than struggle through the writing. The story is about a young girl who, besides becoming Miss Oakland in 1929, struggles with the sexual abuse dished out by her step-father. The orignal draft first appeared at nanowrimo.org in 2003. It has suffered through multiple edits over the past three years.Finally, the book was published at lulu.com in September of '06, but when it was delivered, I found multiple errors and places where more editing was necessary. So I am currently involved in what I hope will be the final edit. It is scheduled for release at Lulu later this month.
