Guess What I am Doing!!!

I am so excited! I can't hardly contain myself! I am doing it...
"What," you ask??
This...

It is book 2 in the Secret World of Crenna series and it is turning out to be a glorious thing! I have only just finished chapter 2, but it is going to be a masterpiece! It has me all giddy inside! I want to run outside and jump around in the snow! (Not really, it looks COLD out there!)

I feel so complete when I am writing, I just can't explain the feeling that it gives me. I was having trouble thinking what the plot to my second book was going to be, but then it came to me. As I lay in my bed tossing and turning until three in the morning, I figured it out! I figured it out and it is a grand idea!

I am sure there are those of you reading this right now that are completely convinced that I have LOST MY MIND, but on the contrary, I have found it and it is AMAZING! To escape into the world that I create and make it make sense is incredible! (I know, I am using the ! a little excessively, but my heart is pounding!)

If you think book 1 was good, wait 'til I finish book 2! Oh yeah, not many of you have read book 1 yet, but I am confident that someone out there is going to want to put it in a nice print in a nice cover and make it available to all of you! This, I am quite certain of!

OK, OK, enough with the !

I just had to write to you all and tell you of my recent discovery, as I lay in my bed, tossing and turning 'til three in the morning.

I bet you are wondering, "NOW WHY DON'T SHE WRITE?"

Well, the answer is...

This is taking up most of my time these days. I have submitted the first two chapters, the query letter, and the synopsis to the publisher!

The truth is...

I have been writing-and reading.

 

 

And... correcting.

Do you see those yellow and black marks? They are throughout the 149 pages of this thing that I have created that I just can't stop obsessing over!

Oh, how I hope with every ounce of my being that some publisher out there will find my work to be something that they want to take a chance on. My lifelong dream...

to be a writer, not only a writer, because I have accomplished that. If you have doubts, see the previous photos. The ultimate goal for me is to be a PUBLISHED writer! This is the goal! Oh, how I long to write and have others take enjoment from the words I scribe on paper. This is the thing I strive for the most, this is what I want out of life.

I have felt for many years that I have not been doing what I am supposed to do. Something was always missing, no matter what job I had or what career I was destined for. I had my ultimate dream job, and still, I felt as if something were missing.

Well, I figured out what it is! It is putting words on paper and making them make sense and creating a story that others may someday enjoy! It is bringing life to characters that have, up until now, only resided in my head. It is being able to dream and take comfort in the dream. It is reading this story to my boys and having them beg to hear more. It is being able to put life back into my life.

Oh, I plan to take this as far as I possibly can, if only to dream a little dream. Wish me luck!

Ahhh, Back to Normal!!

Oh, Christmas is over and I am so glad that my house once again looks like this...

 

 

 

 

 

I do love the Holidays, but I love it when my house is all clean and back to pre-holiday normalcy. OK, OK, I know, I have jewelry making items in the kitchen, but it is still a whole lot better than it was and those boxes are so much easier to put away. I so love my house!!
