5 things about me!

1) I'm related to Pocahontas 2) I've only sent one text ... ever 3) I went to college in Europe for a year 4) I got married in Las Vegas 5) I wrote Sarah's Solace! I'd love to know 5 things about you!

I love writing!

I must remember that I write because I love it. Sometimes I get discouraged. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier not to spend hours and hours and hours writing, but I still have too much of a desire to stay at it. As Bill Cosby once said, "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." I don't write simply to try to make money or gain popularity. All I can do is write from the heart and hope that people will love it. If they don't, then I still have not failed myself. I love Sarah's Solace! For it to be the first novel I've ever written and to be so pleased with it has been a dream come true for me. I appreciate everyone's support and words of advice. I'm working hard on the next book!:)

Progress

I'm two-thirds of the way done with my next book! I feel that it's really coming together now. I love the characters and their interaction with each other as they try desperately to understand the spiritual world. Lots of surprises!

The Process

I keep reminding myself that the process of writing shouldn't be rushed, at least not for me. I'm actually not too far behind where I expected to be at this point anyway. I'll be half-way done writing my book about Alexis this week, so I'm going to sit back and read what I've written. I think I'll be happy with it, except for some minor changes. If I feel satisfied as I'm writing, then I shouldn't be disappointed when I read it. This book has every emotion one can think of, including of course romance. I can't imagine writing a book without that! :)

Book Review on Fiction Fascination Blogspot

Sarah's Solace received a terrific review on fictionfascination.blogspot.com! I'm loving this blog and encourage everyone to check it out. Thanks, Carly!

Thank you!

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has given Sarah's Solace such wonderful reviews! It makes me so happy that you are enjoying the book. I love getting honest feedback, which helps me with my future writing. I'm about half-way done writing my next book, which is a huge stress reliever for me, being able to lose myself completely in the story as I write. It's a great way to end my day! Wish I could do it full time... :)

Paperback Giveaway!

I'm currently giving away another paperback copy of Sarah's Solace on Goodreads! Thanks to everyone who is entering and adding the book to their 'to read' list, and to everyone who has been giving the book such great reviews. This will be the last giveaway until I publish my next book later this year. I'm almost half-way done with the writing. :)
