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.
