Moving on

I began this blog to acquaint young people with the process of researching and writing a book and eventually seeing it published. This is indeed a slow process. I have sent proposals to three publishers, one who immediately sent me a letter saying their policies have changed and they no longer accept manuscripts except through agents (see my post of June 24). I have not heard from the other two but I continue to work on chapter 3, Jackson's experiences at Siana Springs Intrepids camp. It is now, Jackson e-mails me, rainy because it's their "winter," (down to below 70 degrees F.!) I'm hoping to hear some more stories about visitors who see the Great Migration of thousands and thousands of wildebeests and other animals across the plains of Tanzania and Kenya. And maybe a photo...?
