Old Cemetery Photos & my book on prayer is like a Clipper Ship

Ginny & I took Donald to Jacksonville’s Old City Cemetery where he took magnificent photos which he has already posted on the web (www.kernelnews.org/photos/ ) We three knocked around all day and when we got to work on the cover for the book on prayer we decided that the cover art which Donald has worked on just don’t fit this book, and we decided that neither the title I gave the book nor the two back covers I designed fit the book either.

Exasperating for all concerned.

Rather than settle for what we’d already worked on, we went for quality and brainstormed a new title (I’m Confused About Prayer) and Donald began work on the cover art again.

I worked up a new back cover text. And, because we changed the title, I had to go through the ms again and re-do all headers and footers + notify the Library of Congress about the title change – this book is like an old clipper ship in that when you change the tension on one line, you have to adjust the tension on all the lines all over the ship.

There’s a lot to be said for sticking with your first choice.
