In order to get my Trails End Quilters book finished, I've changed the idea for the first one and simplified. My sister is anxious to see a copy for one of her poetry/family story presentations at the assisted living home where she resides.
So I've decided to simplify. This will be a fun book for the family, and I'll proceed with the more detailed one incorporating more character interaction and story, publishing it later. Perhaps publicity from the current book will enlist more interest in a follow-up.
At any rate, I'm having an enjoyable time putting the current book together, using some scrapbooking and mixed media techniques with it.
Too often, as writers, we put off what we can do today by aiming for a large project that might be beyond our scope to finish at the time.
