Jo's Notes

June 7, 2024

I began writing Your Story Matters—Living Your Life in the Most Awesome Way Possible on May 1, 2023. That day, I started a race to see if I could write 50,000 words before the dogwood blossoms fell to the ground. 

However, you know that I didn't quit when I reached my goal of 50,000 words. That was the first draft, and you know what they say about first drafts—"They stink. Don't let anyone see them."

Nine months later--Geesh, I grew a whole baby in nine months; I've rewritten, ran the manuscript through Grammarly, changed chapters, renumbered them, and am now formatting it for a Kindle publication. (If you are thinking about doing something like a Kindle book, talk to me, and we can kibit together.) 

 Your Story Matters: Living Your Life in the Most Awesome Way Possible, by Jo Davis, is available on Kindle Unlimited for FREE courtesy of Amazon. This means you can easily access and enjoy the book without additional cost. A download from my readers will tell Amazon that people are interested in it.

Writing this memoir, which morphed into a self-help book, was a year-long process. I'm sad about my dad but happy about the child I was. It's been a long life, and I'm grateful for it and the people who populated it. It caused more pondering than I included, which would be the same if you wrote yours. Thus, I'm encouraging others to do it—even if you aren't aiming for publication. What draft am I on now? I didn't count. Is the manuscript print-ready?

My readers will tell me.
