Coming Soon to a Bookstore Near You

Sometime after high school, I began to toy with the idea of becoming a published author.  As recently as a year ago, my wish to become a novelist stopped being a possibility, and became a journey.  When I shared the news to those closest to me about this desire, I was met with an abundance of support.


Since then, I wish I could report that I have a mountain of pages ready to be edited and shipped out to a publisher.  Such is not the case I’m afraid.  In theory, I have seven or so complex and interlocking stories already completed.  In truth, they are only finished works in my head, and what I really have is a stack of notes.


My books (and there will be many) haven’t left the planning stage.  I have tried to start said novels with the help of various “How-to” writing books.  However all that I have discovered is that half of their material teaches steps I’ve spent the past year+ focusing on.


I feel I’m ready to take the next step; starting this week I’m going to begin writing my books.  I want to conquer my fear of not being able to succeed in this goal.  I’m going to focus on putting to paper my stories regardless of my current skills.  As I progress in my writing abilities, I will use those talents to fine-tune my work until I’m ready to publish my soon-to-be-international-best selling-novels.


That’s a “when”, not an “if”...
