    Lisa,

    Congratulations! That is such a huge accomplishment. I wish you much luck on publishing. I hear the hard part is having others tell you how to edit your baby.

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thanks for reading, Laney! I am excited and basking in the “I’m done!” emotions right now. Then the hard work starts…editing and taking criticism. LOL

  2. Lori

    Congrats! If you can’t find a publisher, do it yourself with either iuniverse.com or lulu.com

    1. Lisa Eirene

      That’s definitely an option. We’ve been chatting with some friends who’ve successfully raised money on Kickstarter for another project. They’d be awesome help if I go that route.

    Yay! I can’t wait to read your book- I don’t think you will have a difficult time finding a publisher!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thank you Kathy! The encouragement is appreciated. If I can’t find an agent/publisher I’m going to try self-publishing. Time will tell.

  4. Tina @ Best Body Fitness

    WOW! So motivating. I know I would read it. 🙂

  5. Becky

    I can’t wait to read it!! I am sure it is amazing. I’ve loved following your story over the past couple of years, and have always been so impressed with your dedication. Congrats on finishing the draft!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thank you for being so supportive, Becky! 🙂

  6. Alan (Pounds Off Playoff)

    Lisa, that’s a major accomplishment! I can’t wait to read it.

    It looks like you have a very supportive editor. That’s great!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      I’ve had a few eyes on my book so far and they’ve all been constructive. I’m looking forward to the rewrites and editing, actually.

    Congrats on the first draft Lisa! I know how hard it is to get that one out of the way. 🙂 Can’t wait to read it, however it’s published!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      I’ve written a few fictional books in the past. Honestly, trying to write a book about ME was hard in the beginning. Once I got over that hard part, the writing was easy.

    This is fantastic! You should be very proud of yourself Lisa!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thank you Carrie! I was so proud that I finished the first draft (and early too) I just had to share!

  9. Jill

    WOW! That is awesome Lisa! I can’t wait to read your book! I wish I was a publisher! 🙂
    I can’t wait to read your goals for the year!!!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Ha! I’d settle for a kind word from a fan to a publisher THEY know! Anyone?? 🙂

    Way to go, Lisa! We talked about this months ago when I went public with my book being published in 2012. I am so happy you took the next step and soared thru to finish the first draft. It is so exciting!

    It is great that your first editor is a friend. It gets you use to what it will be like when editor #2, who you do not know at all, starts editing your baby.

    Again, way to GO!

    Jane~

      We did talk about this! And I appreciated your help and advice a great deal. I’m sifting through the MOUNDS of information I’ve collected about “how to”. We’ll see how I do…

    Hi Lisa!

    This is SO EXCITING. Congratulations!! 🙂 I must say that I’m surprised you had a hard time with the hood to coast part because I remember being so moved and feeling such a connection with you when I read your recap.

    I can’t wait to read it. You should be very proud of yourself!

    Kassi

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Oh thank you, Kassi! I love that you were so moved by my recap of Hood to Coast. I think the hard part about writing about it was reliving the emotions I felt at the time. But in a way it was great to relive it, too.
