Preston Went Dirt Biking

Preston Went Dirt biking

Preston came home and said he had a great time and you could tell that his confidence level went up. But for his father he did not have such luck. He wiped out. He said he was on a jump and it was windy and we all know the rest of that story. He put the bikes away eat dinner and than decided he better go to the ER. He had an x-ray and cat scan done. They told Yorkk that he bruised his lungs and some organs. He came home with something to blow into so that he would not get ammonia; he also went and picked up some pain pills. He was in pain all night and the next day.
Preston hung out and patched and played some wii games while his dad lay on the couch. I gave him the lecture of course on how dangerous of sport dirt biking is. He has heard that a million times. I try really hard to not think about it to much. Preston really enjoys it, and he is really good at it.

I am so excited today! I mailed out my query letter and manuscript this afternoon to a children’s traditional publisher. I have been working on it for over a year. I just have such a wonderful feeling seeing the finish product ready for print.
I told Preston about it after school and he was really excited. He wants to see the book out in the stores. I had to explain to him that it could be a very long process. Sending it out to several publishers and be denied. It could be three months before you could find out. They have all the control. But I know the reasons of writing this book and I am going to keep going. I have faith that the books will be out in print.

That's too bad about Yorkk crashing his bike...which ER did you go to? Hopefully you had a good experience. Lucky guy though! I have seen so many bad things happen on those bikes, I don't need to tell you that and worry your pretty little head! Keep your chin up on the book, it will go through smoothly!
