I spent much of last weekend working on the final touches so I could submit my book for the final edit. For some strange reason, this time round the final items included deciding on the title and chapter headings. I had a lot of fun playing around with various ideas, and here is what I landed up with
Title: A Different Way Of Seeing Sub-title: My Life Without Sight
- Chapter 01: Who, How And Why (my basic story)
- Chapter 02: Covering The Basics
- Chapter 03: At Home
- Chapter 04: Putting Myself Together (clothing, make-up, etc)
- Chapter 05: Bits, Bytes And Snarls (using technology)
- Chapter 06: Earning My Keep
- Chapter 07: …And In My Leisure Time???
- Chapter 08: Supercanines Are Go! (about my guide dogs)
- Chapter 09: Out And About
- Chapter 10: Seeing the World… Or Not??? (travel)
- Chapter 11: From The Outside In (chapter written by my husband, Craig)
The title and chapter headings are not set in stone, so they may change before I finally publish the book, but that’s what they are for now. In the next two or three weeks, while the book is being edited, I need to complete the cover and investigate printing. Sooo close now…
