Well, at least my work on the actual book is now done. The index for\u00c2\u00a0Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel<\/em><\/a>, expertly compiled by my friend Kim<\/a>, has been completed and was submitted to the University Press of Kentucky<\/a> yesterday. As far as I can tell, that’s it. There’s nothing left for me to do for the actual book, and the next time I see it will be in its completed form.<\/p>\n I have hit many deadlines during this process, but this is the first time where I felt an overwhelming urge to break open a bottle of champagne. It’s been a crazy long process, as I have been working with UPK for almost two years, not to mention the years and years – and years of research. It’s nice to feel an ever-so-slight amount of relief.<\/p>\n It is only a slight amount though. I still have the huge job of marketing the book and convincing people they want to read the life story of an actress they’ve possibly never heard of. I also have four more months of blogging everyday. Even though my husband has encouraged me to drop this fool’s errand, I feel that after 233 days, I need to see it through.<\/p>\n So, the book may be done on my end, but \u00c2\u00a0I won’t be going to bed earlier any time soon.<\/p>\n Thanks again to everyone who has stuck with me through this!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 233 Well, at least my work on the actual book is now done.
