For the last week, I have been selecting and formatting photographs for my book. Today, I submitted the completed manuscript including three appendices along with the photographs (134 in all).  Having studied David Chilton’s method of book publishing, I revised my introduction as well to make it more relevant to the reader.

This project has had a gestation period of over seven years, but is really underway.

I am extremely happy today.

 

I am so very close to being finally finished all the work on this project. I am just waiting for a couple of photographs to be enhanced and then I can finish inputting their tags in the appropriate places in the manuscript. Then it will go to the designers to work their magic. It almost seems surreal that seven years of work is drawing to a close. It has been hard work, but fun at the same time. I have learned a lot about hockey in Victoria and, in the process, learned a lot about myself.
