Update News


Well it's been seven weeks since I started my novel and I'm glad to say things are moving forward. I am currently one quarter of the way into my story and I am hopeful my progress will speed up once I settle in. I was doing very well by writing every single day until the fire. Our apartment complex was partially destroyed by a fire created by lighting. Thank God no one was injured and all families have been relocated. I was very fortunate by not losing any of my things in the fire. But the hassle of moving and then unpacking has slowed my writing considerably. I have not had a decent nights sleep since the fire but I am slowly getting accustomed to my new surroundings. My determination in finishing my story has not diminished and one way or another I will get published. Even if I have to pay to publish the book my self. I will not spend all these hours and days on a project only to watch it fail. My greatest hope is that people will read and enjoy my story. That being said I will consider my book a success if just one person likes my story. Lets face it we can't please everyone and that is not my goal. I do not want to go into the subject matter of my story just yet. The story evolves in my head each and every day and I am not sure where it will take me. I did however make a outline of my story before starting to write. So the basic concepts are outlined and defined I just need to fill in the blanks. Upon conclusion I will hire a professional writer to look over my story to help with corrections and the like. I want my story to be as perfect as possible before I send it out to publishers. Again thanks to all that read my blog and once again wish me luck. May all your hopes and dreams come true!
