If you’ve been following my blog, you know that Lucy has been busy writing a novel. The original plan was to write it in 30 days, but when the month of April was over, she still had more story in her.
So she kept at it and kept at it. I need to just insert here that I was in Miami all last week and that now I have pneumonia, and there are no substitute teachers in homeschooling. This is completely her deal.
She finished this afternoon.
57,000 words.
No, I don’t know what it’s about. No, she won’t let me edit or even read her first draft.
She’s waiting for it to be published and then she will sign the first edition for me. That’s her plan.
I guess I’m just a wee bit insecure.
I’m a little worried that her working title is something like: Maps of Cuba on the Wall – or what it’s like to be raised by a Loony Cuban Blogging Mother.
I guess I’ll just have to wait for that first edition. =D
JAJAJA!! Or “The Time My Mom and Sister went to Miami and Left Me Home Writing a Book”I’m so proud of her! When she first told me, “I finished my book” I told her I know the feeling. I’m halfway through one book and just starting another. She laughed and explained she hade just finished WRITING a book. My sister, Child Prodigy.
Marta,So sorry to hear about the p-monia. Not fair, since you had such a marvelous
visit to Miami. Be well very soon. Here’s some Jewish penicillin for you!!

Lucy, my dear: 57,000 words is astonishing! Cannot wait to read your
novel. Don’t stop now; continue to write every single day. You are definitely on your way.
Love, Grammy Lee
Wow!!! Does she want to write my dissertation? That’s only 100,000 words…. She could do it in about 8 weeks, it sounds like! I’m chastened and humbled…. and very proud to know her! AWWWWWWWWE-some!
That is quite the feat for anybody. Be sure to post a link to the book, Marta. Congratulations to Lucy!
