Thanks Rainbow for asking about the writing process. I knew very little, so I'm being educated as this project goes along. I think it's probably a very good thing you are retired!! Did you ever reach a point where you wanted to forget the whole thing?
There was a time when I wanted to write a childrens' book and I even had an artist friend who wanted to illustrate the book. But then an author came to my school, explained the publishing process to the children and I knew I didn't have the patience.
I'm so glad you do.

Give up the project?...no
Wish that the publishing pursuit would progress more quickly?...yes
Discouraged when only the vanity presses hounded me and the serious presses did not. Those that even bothered to reply however, still needed to be handled with kid gloves?...yes
Lose our drive?...no
Lose our eternal love and affection for Freddie?...NEVER

Oops, I meant "those that DID NOT even bother to reply" Sorry about that.
Oh, I NEVER doubted your love for Freddie. But this writing process has been so huge. I'm glad you are not ever discouraged. I can tell you that there were times when I thought we might lose you to the rough times. I couldn't be happier that I was wrong.
Thank you Katydyd5
Hey Ladies and Gentlemen. I’ve been kinda busy. What have I missed!
I am so happy to see this thread up and running, and to see you both here! Fingers crossed that you find your publisher!
(I've been listening to Made in Heaven album a lot, always remembering your story, Thor, about I Was Born To Love You, and how you heard it for the first time. Love this song very much)

Hey Lee! It's good to see you boys back online.You didn't miss much but a bunch of tired slandering attempts by 2 guys out to tear the book down and your reputations. Unfortunately we seemed to have lost our friend villers due to the drama kicked up by trolls. They zeroed in on her for standing up for you guys. Maybe Dustin as well?
That or he stopped commenting but still reads.
I hear you guys are very close to completing the book! This must be exhausting for you two. I didn't realize how much work it takes to get a book published. Gives you a new found respect for authors doesn't it!

You said it Squirelly,
But the book is finished and I sent it out today. The lady said she was "intrigued" by the samples I sent her.Now she has the full manuscript and formal proposal, both perfected over the last week. Our fingers are crossed.

We know it will be picked up sooner or later. If this publisher is smart she'll lock you guys in! Just be sure to remember your number one fans when you get on the best sellers list! Best of luck boys
No one will be forgotten, least of all YOU my friend!
I'm still here. Villiers will come around i'm sure. Thor will you and Lee go see the movie when it comes out in a few days? I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.
Yay...Dustin is back. I thought you quit the thread. Welcome my friend.
Yes, we are going to the preview in Palm Springs on Nov. 1st.
Good to see Lee make an appearance!! I'll be anxious to hear what this publisher thinks now that you have sent the book out. I'll also be eager to hear your opinion of the film. I'm afraid I'm not going to get to go until it's been out for a few days. I won't mind spoilers though so I hope you'll all comment!
