I’ve been so pre-occupied and single-focused on getting this book out. Everything else has been on the back burner.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Yes, I did receive your information a while ago.

I am thankful for such an editor who moves as fast as I do. And, she is able to edit in several languages, and I need that expertise she brings to the table.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>It is not perfectionism, which I am not at all a perfectionist. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>But I am one who seeks excellence in every aspect of my life – and that means, doing the very best of which I am capable and never settling for less.

Shortly, I’ll be involved with Finishing Line Press as they begin to work on my Chapbook and getting it ready for publication in January. I plan to NOT work on my next book till after the FLP Chapbook is completed. I do have the next book outlined, and that will wait until after the first of the year before I return to it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Thank you for the kind comments on the Amazon presentation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>I think the quote you noted is the piece by Wes Sims, my poet friend in KY who wrote it for the book.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Yes, I liked that imagery too. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Lynda<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><b><span lang=EN-US>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> Stylist <stylist-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jackie via Stylist<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 18, 2019 7:21 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Writers' Division Mailing List' <stylist@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Jackie <jackieleepoet@cox.net><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Stylist] It's a Book Baby!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>Lynda,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>The description of your book on Amazon was absolutely beautiful.
