September first marks the
second anniversary of the publishing of
my first book, South of the Pier. I remember my first sale and I kept
the receipt!
It has always been my dream
to write. And I must say it is wonderful to have a dream come true!
Many people ask how long it
took for me to write my first book. I
tell them ten years, from my first writing seminar to the actual publishing of
my book. Of course, it takes less time to write now, but the long haul of getting
my first book completed brought confusion, enthusiasm, frustration, elation,
and long suffering. Some well known authors also include blood and sweat as
things they’ve given for their first novel.
When you have a story to
tell you need to tell it. To those who want to write, my best suggestion is to start
writing and keep writing. Remember, if you go after your dreams, they can come
true.
Thank you to all those who
supported me during this rough ten years and those who believed in me and have read
my work,
You’re
the best!
