I sat down to write some more today and realized that I am almost finished with the first part of the story of my character. After thinking about it for a few minutes I came to the conclusion that I have to edit some things at the beginning and even though it shows I am on chapter 14 right at this moment it will end up being more than that anyway.
The fact is that the first part of story is about to end, and it did so without me realizing it. Not to worry her journey isn't over yet. I have to keep telling myself that. I have fallen in love with my own character, even if she is a female. I think all author love the characters they create, but this one she has been a favorite for as long as I could remember. always pushing to get out, but for a long time I pushed her down. For a long time I didn't want to let her out.
I started reading this book that somehow made its way into my possession when we moved into our own place called Getting Published For Dummy's, of all the books, that lead me to wanting to write after close to 10 years after putting it everything into the back of my mind. That is the kind of thing that can happen if you don't have the support and appraisal that you hope for when you are only 17 or 18.
That is why I took one year off school between high school and college and then went back. That is why even though I love children, and working with them, it just wasn't my passion. That is why I quit school after 2 semesters of school. Could be one of the reasons that any job I worked never made me happy. Why I can't seem to be too excited when I go for interviews to go back to work 5 years after having my first baby and 2 years after my second baby.
Now, that I finally let my character tell her story, I feel free, well, sort of since she isn't done telling her story yet. I can't wait to the next part of the journey with her on the road she is walking down. I can only hope that people like her as much as I do.
I think I'm overly happy that I will be done writing it long before I had planned. We still have a few months until Thanksgiving and maybe that means it can all be available before then and it would make a wonderful Christmas present. Fingers crossed.
I know now i have to figure out how to get the cover I really want for this book. I don't have a good photoshop program to get what it is I'm looking for. I will have to figure it all out. I will let everyone know when it is available to purchase, and where you can purchase it.
I want to thank all of you for reading and keeping up-to-date with progress and my rambling. Life may be crazy at this moment with school starting and finally hearing from my son's soccer coach and we should be starting that next week as well.
So once again I thank you for reading. Remember if you haven't done so already follow the blog to keep better updated on everything. If you have any questions, comments or whatever leave them in the comment box or feel free to email me if you don't want the world to know whatever is on your mind.
