Sleepless Nights

so my first book is complete, minus editing and revisions which i have started. im updating from my hone which for some reason does not believe in proper grammer, so sorry beforehand. i am in love with the series i have started and have even started the second book. i find myself starting to work on them late in the evening when my household and school duties are complete and they suck me in. i end up spending half the night up working on them. i intend to post a preview of a chapter  from the first book titled ,coming home, soon. i hope one day i can have at least one person as excited about my book as i am. it is so refreshing to do something i love.again sorry about the grammer and punctuation issues, next time i will be sure to post from my computer.

The beginning

In school I loved creative writing classes and assignments-heck I even loved writing reports. I have started many books but have never gotten past one or two chapters. Recently after finding out I would be losing my job that I went to college for I decided to stop making the excuses and just start writing. Currently I am about 35,000 words into my first book.

I have found writing to be so liberating in a time that is filled with stress for me. Within a matter of months we bought a new car, I ended up in the hospital for a week and off work for several weeks, find out my department at work is being shut down, and I began graduate school. Writing has been such a release for my feelings during this time.

I am hoping to have my book finished and edited soon!!! Even if I only self-publish it will be an accomplishment that I can look back and say 'I wanted to do something, so I set my mind to it and did it'. I plan to use this blog for some feedback on tidbits from my book before I attempt to publish it. I hope that everyone who reads my book, whether it be one or thousands, comes to love my characters as much as I do.
